Our pact with the territory

“Dear Guest, Our well-being cannot be separated from that of the environment, especially today when the effects of man’s impact on nature can no longer be ignored.

For us at Hotel Il Vascello, sustainability means developing a model that creates “value” by increasing the attention we give to the environmental and social responsibility we have toward the area in which we live and work.

It means using technologies that reduce energy consumption.

It means contributing to the social and economic development of local communities but, above all, helping our Guests be aware of respect for the environment.

We are constantly engaged in collaborating with local bodies and associations, and in sponsorships and organizations of cultural, social, and sporting events. Aware that this favours the development of our territory, we are committed to using raw materials from local suppliers and to working with businesses from neighbouring areas.

With enthusiasm, we bring to your attention all the steps taken by our hotel to promote more sustainable and ecological holidays.
