Positive impact
Casa Lecanda prioritizes sustainability in both design and operations. During restoration, original materials such as limestone and wooden beams were reused to preserve authenticity and reduce waste. Eco-friendly practices include eliminating single-use plastics, installing low-flow showers, and using refillable glass bottles and biodegradable packaging. Organic, fair-trade, and plant-based options are sourced locally for breakfast. The hotel also digitizes processes to minimize paper waste, training staff to follow environmentally responsible practices.
