PHILOSOPHY
PODERE PRASIANO
We are delighted to share our vision of a better world with our guests, starting with a deep respect for the environment and living in harmony with nature.
At the heart of this philosophy are the principles of the 5R's: "Reuse, Reduce, Recycle, Restore, and Regenerate."
For us, the joy of cooking and enjoying fresh food is rooted in using quality ingredients—either organically home-grown or sourced from local farms and small artisanal producers. We believe that nourishing our bodies with such food not only supports a healthier lifestyle but also contributes to more sustainable living.
We also believe in Slow Travel, which allows us the time to truly connect with our guests and share precious moments together.
The house has been renovated according to the principles of bio-construction. The exterior walls and roof are eco-friendly, insulated with natural fibers and lime. The floor heating system is powered by renewable energy, utilizing solar panels and a wood-burning stove. Special attention has been given to energy efficiency, with investments in low-consumption lamps, electrical appliances, LED lighting, and low-impact outdoor lighting solutions, such as solar-powered lamps. Additionally, we have solar panels on the roof to generate our own energy.
Rainwater and groundwater are collected and recycled to irrigate both the garden and the orchard. The water used to clean vegetables and fruit is also recycled in a tank located in front of our kitchen. Podere Prasiano’s tap water is purified and can be safely drunk directly from the tap, eliminating the need for bottled water and reducing plastic waste.
We recycle all types of materials, and our organic waste is transformed into compost, a natural and valuable fertilizer for the vegetable garden.
All personal care products available in the guest rooms are of the highest quality and organic. Even for daily cleaning of the house and rooms, we use only natural and biodegradable products.
