Environmental Friendliness

Please help us to save natural resources by switching off lights when you don’t use them and by minimizing your use of water (shut off water when you brush you teeth, prefere shower intead bath in the tub). Please keep windows closed when you use the AC or heating.

Paluffo has a low environmental impact and the use of renewable resources is our goal. A photovoltaic power plant provides electricity, rain is collected for plant and grass irrigation, water is warmed by solar panels and waste waters are cleaned naturally with plant-based purification methods. Our heating system is fuelled by biomass pellets (compressed waste wood) and by a heatpump.

Final cleaning of apartments

We kindly ask our guests to leave the apartment clean when checking out at Il Paluffo; please leave the crockery and dishes washed in the dishwasher, and throw the trash correctly separated in the bins close to the parking.
Otherwise, we will apply an additional cleaning fee of 200 euros for extra cleaning.
Thank you for being so understanding!
