The Locanda (a farmer’s house built in the 1920s) was restored in 1998 with special attention to energy conservation: the windows are double-glazed, the house is thermically and acoustically insulated and is fitted with solar collectors. The heating system is run using renewable energy: sun power and a low consumption wood stove (the wood we use comes from our 20 hectares woods gathered when we are cleaning the woods or pruning). The house is fitted with low consumption light bulbs and we installed photovoltaic panels during Spring 2009 that provide electricity for both the Locanda and the farm.

We organically produce in the farm more than 70% of the food we serve in the restaurant and we buy all we can from nearby farms, most of them organic. This way we also reduce plastic wrappings, cans, etc. All the house-linens are made of 100% natural fibres to minimize possible allergies while providing a high level of comfort. In the bathrooms you’ll find soap dispensers, we don’t use disposable items such as prepackaged soap, plastic cutlery or glasses.

We ask our guests to join us protecting the environment:

- Smoking is not allowed inside the Locanda.

- For the environment’s sake we change the towels and bed linens twice a week. Please consume water consciously.

- We invite our guests to make sure that the lights and the ceiling fans are off when they leave their rooms. Please keep the windows and shutters closed during the hottest months.

- We provide recycling bins for cans, plastic and paper.

- If you are interested in knowing more about our efforts and our commitment to a clean earth, we’d be glad to share our experiences and ideas with you!
