Environmental sustainability

Committed to essence

We take care of nature and our environment, with ethical and responsible tourism

At Casa Santa Elena we are committed to a new way of doing things with the circular economy as a flag, reducing the waste generated to the minimum and practicing a comprehensive ecology that not only takes into account the environment, but also its inseparable relationship with people, society and values.

With the aim of preserving the environment and reducing the waste generated, we take the following measures to:

We make local purchases to reduce the carbon footprint and promote local development.
We buy products made with renewable, biodegradable materials, with recycled and recyclable content that promotes circularity.
We replace plastic materials with biodegradable and recyclable materials.
In the kitchen we use materials with less plastic or BPA content to reduce the impact they generate.
On each floor there are containers for paper waste and packaging/plastics, so that customers can collaborate in the separation of waste.
We are developing a green shopping manual that guides us to choose the best options from an environmental, social and economic impact point of view.

We use LED lights, which have a much lower energy consumption, offering the same power and having a much longer service life.
We have installed presence sensors throughout the house so that the light is turned on only when necessary.
We have solar panels that heat much of the water, minimizing the impact of other supplies.
We have a plan to expand solar panels to profit from the sun as a source of electricity for the house.

In the House, the largest water expenditure is generated by cleaning and laundry services.

We use cleaning products with the ecolabel seal, which are less aggressive to nature and have biodegradable packaging.
We change towels and bed linen every 72 hours, although if you need it before you just have to ask us.
- We depending on the liquid waste we generate so, if you use disposable wipes, we ask you to deposit them next to the rest of the waste in the waste bin. This way you will help improve water purification.
- We obtain water for the farm through wells, reusing irrigation water through the subsoil and accumulating it in ponds.
- We reduce water consumption through air filters on taps, reducing the flow by 40%
- We have at your disposal a water source so that you can fill your bottle whenever you want, without generating plastic waste.
- Following the same principle, in the restaurant services we serve filtered water in reusable glass bottles.
- In addition, the plants and trees we have are native, so they do not require special treatments or seasonal changes. We do not use nature as a decorative element; we are at home and we take care of it.
- We only do drip irrigation for minimal plant maintenance.
