At Vila Foz Hotel & Spa, a traditional Portuguese manor house overlooking the Atlantic outside of Porto, sustainable tourism and environmental balance are at the heart of the hotel’s goals.
Solar panels heat the water used throughout the hotel, and plastic is reduced as much as possible in favor of sustainably-packaged products. The restaurant works with local suppliers to reduce food miles, and work with the freshest and highest quality produce. With its Biosphere Certification, the hotel is continually improving its targets in a comprehensive and holistic manner.
