Welcome to Villa Andalucia - Your Sustainable Getaway
At Villa Andalucia, we are committed to promoting sustainable and environmentally conscious practices. Our efforts aim to not only reduce our carbon footprint but also to provide our guests with a comfortable and eco-friendly stay. Here are some of the steps we take towards sustainability:
Electric Car Charging Point
We understand that transportation is one of the leading causes of carbon emissions. That's why we have an electric car charging point on our premises, making it easy and convenient for our guests to power up during their stay.
Solar Panels
We are proud to use solar panels to generate both electricity and hot water, reducing our carbon footprint and conserving precious resources. In case of dull weather, we have a backup to gas and electric, ensuring a sustainable power supply.
Waste Separation and Disposal
In every room, we provide bins to help guests easily separate and dispose of waste, supporting our eco-friendly and sustainable initiatives.

Website and Hosting
We are aware of the impact of the internet on the environment and have taken steps to minimize our carbon footprint:

- We plant new trees every year to offset any remaining carbon emissions generated by our website and other activities
The environment is in crisis. Our planet is warming up and we are all experiencing hotter temperatures and more frequent extreme weather events. We are at a crossroads. We can either continue as we are and risk creating an uninhabitable planet for future generations or we can take action.
Join us at Villa Andalucia and enjoy a relaxing stay while making a positive impact on the planet.
