Environmental Policy

Hotel Delfino stands on the beach at Procchio, inside the very environment that brings our guests here in the first place. Protecting it is not a matter of principle: it is maintenance of the place we work in.

Below is a list of what we have done.

Energy

Solar panels for water heating
An electricity supply contract drawing partly on renewable sources
LED and low-energy bulbs throughout the property
Air-conditioning units replaced with inverter systems
Kitchen equipment replaced with energy-saving machines
Lighting in the common areas controlled by dusk sensors

Water

Flow reducers on every tap
A computerised irrigation system for the outdoor areas
Dosing devices on the dishwashers and glass-washers, releasing only the detergent that is actually needed

Waste and detergents

Dedicated areas for separated waste collection
Dosing devices on the cleaning products as well
No cloth linen in the restaurant, so that no water, electricity or detergent goes into washing it.
In its place: biodegradable recycled paper napkins, disposable biocompatible placemats, and placemats in washable material
Information in the rooms on the careful use of water and energy

In the kitchen

Suppliers from the island and a menu that follows the seasons: fewer journeys and less waste

What we are working on

Three things, in order of priority: improving the collection and management of waste, reducing the waste of natural resources, and lowering energy consumption.

What our guests can do

Use water and energy sensibly, and separate your waste into the bins provided. These are small things, and over a whole season they add up to a real difference.

And if you notice something we could do better, tell us at reception. Several items on this list started as a guest's suggestion.
