Green holidays Marche

If you’re looking for a green responsible accommodation in Le Marche and to do your bit for the environment during your holidays look no further!

When you are surrounded by the ravishing landscapes of Le Marche hills you can’t help but feeling compelled to do everything you can to preserve them. So the environment is always one of our first priorities when we make decisions regarding the farm and the Locanda.
We “go green” in every aspect of our life and business.

Organic farm

Always keeping in mind the philosophy that “…one should tread lightly on the earth” we have been working for a cleaner environment for over 35 years.
Our organic farm has been certified since 1983. We breed organic cows, chickens and pigs, grow organic cereals, legumes, grapes, fruit and vegetables and in our clean woods and fields we forage wild herbs, truffles, berries and flowers. We sell part of our produce locally and we use the rest to prepare dinners and delicious treats for our guests.

Eco sustainable accommodation

Valle Nuova is carbon neutral thanks to our photovoltaic plant that is installed on our roofs not to spoil the beautiful landscape and to preserve precious farming land. Each year we produce over 180000 kwh of clean electricity, enough for the average yearly consumption of 18 U.S. or 48 Italian households.

We designed the Locanda and our apartments to be as green as it gets and we run it following the same idea. Navigate this page for a (non-exautstive) list of eco actions.

Since the “environment” is not only “nature” we work hard to behave ethically in every aspect of our work and in our relationship with the people who collaborate with us.
We also collaborate with associations and charities that work for biodiversity, organic farming, food security, climate changecultural heritage and people well-being and culture currently with FAI (Fondo Ambiente Italiano), Navdanya International, Becas Caja de Música.

We share their green values

Wendell Berry

“The care of the Earth is our most ancient and most worthy, and after all our most pleasing responsibility. To cherish what remains of it and to foster its renewal is our only hope.”

– Wendell Berry

Michael Pollan

“Agriculture changes the landscape more than anything else we do. It alters the composition of species. We don’t realize it when we sit down to eat, but that is our most profound engagement with the rest of nature.”

– Michael Pollan

Vandana Shiva

“Globalized industrialized food is not cheap: it is too costly for the Earth, for the farmers, for our health.”

– Vandana Shiva

They stayed at Valle Nuova

Living according to one’s values is very important to me. Your commitment to protecting nature was clear in everything you did. It was inspiring.

They are a model of sustainable tourism and anyone who loves local, organic food, cooked to perfection in a beautiful setting will simply fall in love with Locanda della Valle Nuova.

I also want to say that it felt very good to stay in a place that was so conscientious about solar energy use and organic farming. We felt a definite connection with the Savinis for the part that they have taken in being responsible.
