Hotel - an environmental ally - built to satisfy Class A energy requirements

Hotel in respect with the environment

As a small part of the majestic natural environmental world, the Hotel Tartaruga Bianca represents the expression of a philosophy that demands that both construction and lifestyle show complete respect for Nature.

The hotel is in a splendid setting which is rich in protected nature reserves, such as the Coghinas River Estuary and the imposing Monte Ussoni. There are numerous opportunities for visitors who want to enjoy delightful long walks or bicycle rides along the coast or inland.

The hotel has been designed and built with the verandas laid out in such a way as to make the most of the beneficial effects of the sea breezes.

In the nearby protected areas of the Coghinas, you can enjoy boat and canoe excursions through genuinely secluded natural oases, inhabited only by countless examples of local flora and fauna that are typical of the area.

The coastline’s position is such that it is also possible to enjoy windsurfing, kitesurfing and sailing in a unique and unspoilt setting.

For guests who wish to enjoy an eco-friendly holiday, there is the chance to make free use of the eco-friendly community library, which contains books and magazines that have been donated by various former guests and left for other people to enjoy.

The hotel rooms offer the option of spending a real eco-friendly holiday in respect of the sun, water (supplied in accordance with both guests’ requirements and respect for the environment) and the surrounding territory, all of which co-exist together in complete harmony
