Our Environmental Policy
The campsite is located on a hill, in a wood of typical plants of the maquis: laurels, oaks, strawberry trees, holm-oaks, heathers, genista, laurustines. It is in order to safeguard the wood and to respect the typical environment of the Tuscan countryside that we only replant autochthonal plants.
The roads, except for the main ring, are dirt paths. In order to save water, we put water reducers in every tap, shower, fountain, wc and basin. The plants are drip-watered and the waste waters of the swimming pools are used to fill a tank used by the local fire brigade in case of emergency.
In order to save energy, the three sanitary buildings are provided with solar panels, we use methane gas, and all the light bulbs are energy saving.
In the camping we separate rubbish and we kindly request our customers to cooperate with actively.
Our guests are invited to keep the campsite clean using the containers for the differentiate refuse collection. They are also invited to save water and energy, and to respect the environment. In order to reduce noise pollution, we suggest to switch off the engines and not to use cars during siesta time.
