As the villa can not take more than 8 people we preserve the environment and the local community. All the people employed at the villa from chef, gardener, cleaning lady are from the local community so we sustain local economy. We promote our region through the local cuisine and wine preserving in this way our culture and heritage.
The villa has been renovated using local and sustainable materials. The walls have been insulated in order to save energy in winter and it has triple glaze windows. It has been decorated with water paint. We use energy saving light bulbs and in the garden we have installed solar lights. We encourage our guest to respect the surrounding countryside by recycling as much as possible and not wasting water during the summer months. The water coming into the house is purified and we treat the sanitary water so we can then re-use it to water the garden. In winter our house is heated by solar panel and a wood-burner stove and the wood comes from our land. |
Tourism can be good and bad for destinations & local people. We carefully screen every holiday against our criteria for responsible travel. 'Look behind the brochure' to find how each holiday makes a difference (see left). We don't claim to be perfect - there is no global accreditation - but we've led the way since 2001 and screened 1000's of holidays. We invite every traveller to write a review about their experiences and responsible tourism. This valuable feedback is sent to the people who run the holidays. We keep a very close eye on it and take off holidays that don't live up to our standards. |
