Sustainability …

... it's not just a word, it is a way of life on which we base our choices. We can all do something to improve our impact in the world. We do our bit by helping you have a sustainable holiday.

Since March 2023 we have been awarded the sustainability label “Südtirol / Alto Adige – Level 3” by the Province of South Tyrol!

Here's what we have started to do:

Electricity

• Our supplier is the San Vigilio Power Company which produces green electricity.
• Spring 2023, we will install a photovoltaic system producing 38 KW of renewable clean energy, we are very happy!
• Energy saving: we use almost entirely energy-saving LED light bulbs.
• We have solar panels which we use for hot water or otherwise to heat the wellness area and swimming pool, or for central heating, depending on the season, our guests, and necessity.
• We try to change all refrigerators and appliances that use a lot of power for ones that save on water and electricity.

Water savings

• All the new taps are water-saving.
• Irrigation: we have a 10,000 l tank where we collect rainwater, which we use to irrigate flowers, grasslands  and trees.
• Irrigation: the geraniums on the balconies, the thujas and the garden in front of the pool are watered manually and with an automated system that comes on early in the morning or at night, when water can be put to optimal use.
• Our swimming pool has a salt chlorination system, which is natural and has a very low environmental impact, and those who swim in it immediately feel the difference: the water is not aggressive for the skin and eyes.

Recycling

• We have always put recycling first, and you can help us.
• There are containers on each floor and at the back of the house under the glass roof, for glass, paper, cardboard, organic waste, jars, plastic bottles, light bulbs and batteries.

Cleaning products

• We are switching from low-polluting products by Hygan to products that are also by Hygan, but with ECOLABEL certification.
• We have an automatic dosing system for the washing machine which limits the amount of detergent used.
