There are many awards won that certify the truthfulness of what is respected throughout the process of our project.

Here is in brief what we do for the planet and what you will contribute by making a purchase of our products.

Spirulina : since 2010 we have been the first Spirulina producers in Italy and the first to have been certified organic in Europe. In addition to the numerous beneficial properties of this superfood, spirulina transforms Co2 into oxygen and our production annually transforms 2000 kg of Co2 into 2000 kg of Oxygen, thus compensating for the mobility of our guests who arrive in Maremma with a fossil fuel car. More info on our dedicated website.
Waste, recycling and land cleaning : we have reduced the purchase of packaged products to a minimum. We carry out and invite our guests to separate waste collection and compost on site by reusing the humus to fertilize our organic garden and flowers. We clean woods and roads from illegal landfills and with what we find we have created a Creative Recycling project, which gives new life to old abandoned objects.
Catering : we only have fresh seasonal fruit and vegetables produced in our organic garden or purchased from other organic farms at km0. We only offer dairy products and meat from adult animals raised in the wild at KM0.
Breakfast : in the breakfast buffet everything is produced on the farm or purchased from KM0 organic producers with the exception of tea and coffee which are imported.
Water : each tap has a flow reducer for water saving. We sensitize both the staff and customers of the structure to the responsible use of water both for washing and for washing laundry. We collect rainwater to irrigate our fields and flowers. We offer free still or sparkling water and we do not see disposable bottles.
Energy : electricity is produced by photovoltaic panels which cover the needs of the entire project and also allow us to sell the energy produced to others. The entire project is LED lit and has timers for energy saving. All appliances are Class A++ certified, we make customers aware of the change of bathroom linen at the customer's request (with consequent savings in water and detergents).

Heating : a condensing boiler and a solar thermal monitor all the hot water needs of the project.
Mobility and Transportation : we have a LPG car for our Green trips. Being an area where there is no train station or good public bus service, we offer free electric charging for all new hybrid and electric cars. We offer maps, GPS tracks and tracks that can be downloaded and consulted offline to enjoy the nature trails and paths, river itineraries, cycle paths that start from our structure, without the need to take the car. We offer ebike rental.
Noise : the old farmhouse from the 1600s with large walls that muffle even the sounds of nature. Signs underline that in the common areas the active collaboration of the staff and guests is welcome to maintain the silence that this place offers.
Promotion of the territory : we offer a self-produced map in recycled paper that promotes and disseminates tourist and cultural information of the area. The map is provided free of charge to the local tourist office and to the local tourist offices.

Cleaning and laundry: we only use 100% biodegradable products and EM (Effective Micro Elements).

Products and supply chain: we produce only organic products, the transformation is done in the company according to the ASL legislation and the prodocolli imposed by the organic. Our packaging is 100% biodegradable or recyclable. Our labels and boxes made from recycled paper.

Bio Pool: a mirror of water created without the use of cement but only stones and a natural resin that holds them together. Inside, water from our well and salt from the WWF Oasis of Trapani. An electrolysis filter transforms the salt into natural chlorine. Reason why no chemical additives, chlorine and anti-algae are added.

Bio building: the restoration of the entire 1600 farmhouse was done with bio building materials. The holistic space with its roof lawn is an example of bio-architecture where the landscape impact is zero.

Glamping: a new way to take an eco-holiday in contact with nature. The Luxury tents are built with certified wood from sustainable forests, painted with water tempera with natural pigments, illuminated and heated by the sun.
