Our story
Each season has a its own chracteristic and offers a surprising stay.
Not 100% ecological but... 100% aware
On our quinta we are aware of nature and the environment. Seems logical to us. The premise 'use what you have' is an importnat principle for us. Although we can not operate completely ecological, we do try to take the utmost account of nature. Most bathrooms have a composting toilet and waste water (grey water) is filtered naturally and used for irrigation for the garden.
We grow our own veggies and herbs and many of the fruit trees are planted by us. The harvest is used for lunches and snacks in the lounge. Our aim is to eat and drink what the season provides.
We use manu resources nature has to offer. Firewood of pruned olive trees, leaves and garden watse is stocked to become compost, garden flowers for the decorations and the water comes partly from our own source. It forms the base of our 'use what you have' thoughts and meanwhile we try to expand those possibilities.
