At Alto House, every detail is also a responsibility. Not only do we preserve our architecturalheritage, but we also look after our surrounding environment. We believe that excessive costs and consumption are as unsustainable as they are undesirable.
Your Choices
Here at Alto House, we like to think that your stay is like an extension of your house, and when we’re in the comfort of our own home, we don’t change our sheets and towels every day, do we? By choosing to consciously change towels and bed linen, you not only save water but also energy – precious resources that we should all value. Of course, unforeseen events happen and we are always here to ensure you’re kept as comfortable as possible. Need fresh towels or new sheets? Just ask. Let’s work together to make sustainability the norm, not the exception.
Water scarcity is a permanent problem in the Algarve. At Alto House, we step up, contributing to the solution, and invite you to do the same. When you’re brushing your teeth, turn off the tap. When showering, use only as much water as strictly necessary. Every drop counts and what you do makes all the difference. Thank you for being an ally in this critical effort!
Every conscious choice you make adds charm to our establishment and the planet. Recycling is far more than something we “should do” – it’s part of being a good human and taking care of others. Thank you for being part of this current of consciousness.
Savour every moment and every ingredient, but be conscientious. Only help yourself to what you know you’ll finish. All leftovers are sent to a local charity that provides food aid to those who need it most. Enjoy every bite, delight in the flavours, and share your preferences with us, always while considering the common good. Thank you for contributing to a chain of solidarity and awareness.
