Energy Efficiency and Carbon Emission Reduction
We commit to reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions by using efficient lighting and low-consumption climate control systems. We monitor energy use and plan to adopt renewable energy sources in the future.
Sustainable Water Management
We implement savings measures and sustainable management practices. Faucets and showers are fitted with low-flow devices, and garden irrigation uses ‘levada’ water. We encourage guests to reuse towels and sheets, helping to preserve this essential resource.
Waste Management and Plastic Reduction
We provide waste separation bins in various areas, encouraging recycling and reducing landfill waste. We replace disposable plastics with biodegradable and recyclable alternatives, aiming for zero waste.
Sustainable Transport
We offer free transportation for guests and provide information on public transport options to reduce environmental impact and promote low-carbon mobility. We plan to install electric vehicle charging points for both guests and staff.
Social Responsibility and Environmental Awareness
We prioritise local, sustainable, and organic suppliers, supporting the regional economy and reducing our ecological footprint. Biodegradable cleaning products are used to protect staff, guests, and the environment. We invest in hiring local residents and continuously train our staff in best environmental practices. We encourage guests and partners to collaborate in our sustainability initiatives.
Transparency and Continuous Improvement
We continuously monitor and improve the environmental impact of our activities, adjusting targets and actions based on results. We plan internal audits and the annual publication of a report to demonstrate our progress. We encourage guests and partners to collaborate in our sustainability initiatives.
