Environmental Management
Castelli has always been oriented towards protecting the environment: Our hotel building itself has been designed with an angle shape, around a beautiful large eucalyptus tree, which existed in our grounds two centuries before the hotel arrived! Today we are proud to share with you many of our measures to minimize our hotels footprint.
Materials: We prefer glass bottles, so the packages are returned to the supplier and reused (e.g. beer sold at bars).
Energy: Have replaced most of bulbs and lamps with energy saving ones.
Local Community
In the framework of promoting the local customs and delicacies, we also strongly recommend traditional local restaurants, cultural and historical points of interest to our dear guests; this way our visitors may also enjoy coming across authentic Greece, and not only the commercial attractions.
- We always prefer making our purchases from the local suppliers and producers, aiming at ensuring the sustainability of the community and promoting local products. Furthermore, local products mean less transportation energy used.
- We have a farm of chickens, and a small production of fruits and vegetables; therefore organic waste of vegetable origin is used to feed the domestic animals, and the eggs that are produced are served at breakfast and the pool snack bar, and the guests are content being closer to the nature.
- The olive groves that surround the hotel are not sprayed with toxic chemicals, and the pure virgin olive oil produced is used for baking the home made cake, served at breakfast, and also for serving salads at the pool snack bar.
- Our hotel's design,ambience, colours and surroundings maintain the nature's colours and feeling, so all our guests may admire nature's real beauties and traditional Zakynthian architecture.
- We regularly donate plastic containers to locals, so they are reused, in works around the fields that they are necessary and the locals do economise. This way fewer containers are consumed also.
- We have a door policy/curfew, so as our hotel is located at a quiet area, we do not attract guests that would create noise or disturb the nature's life.
- We have repeatedly donated hotel's property (land) to the municipality, in order to minimise the tourism's effect on local community; for the municipality to use the land and make the roads wider, so safer and better for transportation of locals, visitors and tourists' transfers. Otherwise the village's narrow roads may not handle the tourism' traffic, and the locals are disturbed, so is the circulation.
- We are aware that there are more ways to contribute to environmental preservation, and starting with above simple steps, we always seek for new ideas. We constantly enhance our policy and we remain at our guests disposal for clarifications and suggestions.
- Being an alive organization, our hotel tries to significantly monitor the impact of our daily operations on the surrounding environment and to adapt any new proposal seems productive into contributing to protect our planet!
May we proudly welcome your contribution to preserving our planet! Thank you.
