    Making a difference:

    Our business cares for the environment and aims to raise awareness in our guests about saving water and energy and recycling. For recycling, we sort the wastes we produce and deliver them to an organized community group that takes over their treatment; we also use organic wastes to produce fertilizer that we then use in our gardens.

    Our providers and collaborators are from the region, which is how we help economic growth in the zone.
