Sustainability

A conscious tourism for a better future

Our commitment

At Relais del Maro, sustainability is part of our DNA, a commitment certified by an Environmental Quality Label from EcoWorldHotel and Green Pearls® Unique Places, which translates into concrete choices for the environment, from renovation to daily management.

How we do it:

We minimize environmental impact
We use renewable energy
We promote responsible tourism
We involve guests in green choices
We value tradition and local culture

Our construction choises:

Sustainable building

To transform historic buildings into an eco-sustainable hotel, we relied on the expertise of Casa Clima in Bolzano, a leader in energy and environmental certification. Every construction choice combines tradition and sustainability:

Insulation and Materials:
Natural thermal plaster with cocciopesto for perfect insulation Foam Glass made from recycled glass for thermal insulation Eco-friendly sound-absorbing panels for maximum acoustic comfort Certified wooden roofs for optimal thermal regulation Laminated wooden window frames from sustainable forests Handcrafted terracotta floors and naturally aged parquet

Comfort and Innovation:
Bio-switch in every room for a regenerating sleep Wall finishes with lime putty and natural pigments Certified materials for maximum energy efficiency

Technologies for energy saving

The climate control system relies on high-efficiency heat pumps, perfectly integrated with our solar thermal and photovoltaic systems. All appliances have been selected from the highest energy efficiency classes, while a smart home system monitors and optimizes the energy consumption of the entire facility. The lighting is entirely LED, based, ensuring maximum efficiency and long lifespan.

For water management, we have chosen to use an artesian well with specific filtration systems for garden and pool irrigation, thus reducing potable water consumption.

Everyday sustainability

Our commitment to the environment is reflected in small daily actions. Starting with breakfast, where we carefully select local and organic products: most of the specialties on our buffet come from Liguria and southern Piedmont, supporting local producers and reducing transport impact.

To explore our valleys in an eco-friendly way, we provide guests with electric bikes: a fun and sustainable way to discover the area. In our spaces, from the reception to the rooms, we use only ecological or recycled paper, and every area is equipped with recycling bins, including a collection point for used batteries.

Room maintenance follows the same environmentally friendly principle: all cleaning products used are over 95% ecological and biodegradable. Even the courtesy set has been redesigned with sustainability in mind: we have minimized packaging by installing soap dispensers in showers and sinks. The products, strictly Made in Italy, are olive oil-based and free from parabens.
