WATER SAVING

The means for achieving a 360-degree environmental protection is not
limited to the production and use of energy only, but it also includes water supply
management. Water consumption is one of the major concerns affecting local authorities
in Riviera dei Limoni because the area in which the Resort is located suffers from
lack of water during all summer months.

Rainwater collection

All the rainwater falling in specifically drained areas is stored in a tank with
a capacity of 300 m3 from which it will be collected for uses linked to the irrigation of
green areas.

Compensation tank

vasca di compensoThe water discharged from the various swimming pools and
replaced with clean water flows into the tank where rainwater
is collected and, thanks to the chlorine biodegradability
effect due to sunlight, it is used for the irrigation of green
areas.

Operational Software

To dramatically reduce water consumption from water
mains, the water supply system has been planned and
designed in minute detail.

All toilet flushing systems as well as bath taps and
faucets enable to regulate water quantity through
devices aimed at saving water consumption by 50%
in comparison to standard facilities.

Swimming pool facilities envisage a water refilling
system based on the number of people using the relevant
swimming pool.

Laundry management policy

gestione lavanderia

The laundry is one of the areas where considerable use of both water
and energy is made: for hot water heating, facilities operation, linen
and towel drying and ironing; moreover, the detergents consumption
is to be considered.

Due to the multiple swimming pools and saunas available, the SPA implies
large quantities of towels (including bathrobes and pareu) for use by Guests in
order to ensure them the maximum comfort. The change and collection
of SPA towels to wash have been fine-tuned with the objective of best
balancing service quality with environmental protection. Guests can
change towels whenever they want but, at the same time, they are made
aware of their environmental responsibilities and they are asked to make
an adequate use of towels; this leads to a substantial reduction in the
number of machine washes, consequently cutting down detergents and water usage.

In addition, the linen change policy, based on a specific Guest request,
has helped to dramatically reduce the number of bed linen and towel washes.
