If you wish to stay in a hotel truly committed to environmental protection, then Villa le Barone is for you! Villa Le Barone is fully engaged with protecting its natural environment.
To reduce our carbon footprint:
- We preserve biodiversity by avoiding harmful pesticides and herbicides, ensuring a healthy environment for the birds, bees, and butterflies that thrive in our gardens. The infinity pool is saltwater, avoiding the use of chlorine. Each year, we plant new trees, including 400 olive trees in 2020. The fresh flower arrangements that welcome guests in their rooms come directly from our own gardens.
- We have also taken significant steps in energy conservation. Half of our energy needs are met through solar panels on the parking lots, and we have installed energy-efficient systems throughout the property. The infinity pool is heated by a heat pump to minimize energy consumption.
- Recycling is a priority, with glass, paper, and plastics carefully sorted and repurposed.
- Sustainability extends to our cuisine as well. Our restaurant sources seasonal ingredients from local suppliers, ensuring fresh and flavorful dishes, while reducing food miles. The extra virgin organic olive oil used in our kitchen comes directly from our own organic farm in Maremma, maintaining both quality and authenticity.
We are approaching these efforts towards sustainability as a team with our wonderful staff who share our values. We are also sustaining the work of local NGOs.
