Sustainable lodging

At Villa Monte we like to contribute to a better planet. For example, we strive for a greener hotel world and we are affiliated with Hotel for Trees, a great organization that plants a tree every time our guests skip room cleaning.

Policy statement

Both the management and all employees of Hotel Villa Monte take on the task of controlling the environmental impact on the one hand and also limiting the environmental risks on the other. A structural part of our corporate objectives is care for the environment. 

All employees of the hotel therefore undertake to perform their duties in accordance with the established procedures that fit within our company policy. We comply with Flemish environmental laws and regulations, but also want to go a step further. This includes the following:   

  • Hotel Villa Monte registers water and energy consumption. Based on this data, we can then continuously improve the infrastructure, but also the policy, and make it more economical. For example, all our showers are now equipped with saving heads while retaining the feeling of comfort, all our toilets have an adapted water regulation and we use rainwater recovery for watering our garden. 
  • We are also committed to minimizing waste and limiting the impact on air, water and soil as a result of our business operations through an effective environmental management system. In this context, we also train our employees to take care of the environment.  
  • We also try to sensitize our guests by, among other things, drawing attention to towel consumption. For more concrete applications, we would like to refer to our employees at the reception.
  • In order to apply our policy consistently and throughout the hotel, Hotel Villa Monte has therefore decided to implement the required measures in the context of the green key. 

Hotel Villa Monte will propagate this environmental policy to our employees and to our guests.
