Principles
1. Farm-to-Table: Fresh, Local, Sustainable
We partner with local producers, ensuring fresh, seasonal cuisine that supports the regional economy. Our own gardens supply a variety of olives, figs, herbs, and fruits, which we’re continually expanding to provide more of what we serve directly from our land.
2. Eco-Conscious Guest Experience
Guests at Castell de la Solana enjoy a worry-free stay, resting on Matri’s sustainably produced beds with eco-friendly linens. Our bathrooms feature Rituals products, which are not tested on animals and are made from natural ingredients. Every aspect of your stay is designed with care for both luxury and sustainability.
3. Employee Wellbeing
Our people are central to our success. We invest in our team’s personal and professional growth, fostering a culture of wellbeing. We encourage staff to take the lead in our sustainability initiatives and actively involve them in decision-making processes. Their passion for the environment and local community helps drive our mission forward.
4. Supporting the Local Community
At Castell de la Solana, we strengthen local ties by prioritizing partnerships with small-scale producers, artisans, and service providers. This not only reduces our environmental footprint but also helps sustain the local economy. We regularly host workshops, community events, and farm tours to connect guests with the region’s culture and craftsmanship, deepening their understanding of Jalon Valley’s heritage.
5. Responsible Tourism
Sustainability at Castell de la Solana is about more than reducing our environmental impact; it’s about creating a meaningful connection between our guests, our employees, and our local community.
