Living a greener lifestyle can often seem like a bit of a minefield – recycling alone has so many rules and regulations that can be a little difficult to follow. So, when it comes to making sustainable changes within your property it’s no surprise that you may immediately think it’s going to be hard work. Well, we’re here to tell you it doesn’t have to be.
There are so many small steps you can take to reduce your carbon footprint, including the use of energy-efficient appliances, insulating your home to reduce heating and air conditioning costs, and providing guests with information about how to eat and shop locally throughout their stay. All of these changes add up to make a big difference, and we’re here to help you on your sustainability journey.
In 2019, we started working with ecollective, an independent consultancy in London focused on helping businesses to become more sustainable. They helped us come up with a list of recommendations that will drastically reduce the carbon footprint of a home, without having a huge impact on the day-to-day runnings of your business.
This is one of the simplest but most effective ways of reducing your C02 emissions. Check out some providers for homeowners in…

Another way to cut costs long term is by using heat pumps for heating the house and swimming pools. Not only are they energy-efficient, but they’ll also help you reduce the costs of running your pool/home.
Everyone knows by now how important it is to recycle, but it can be hard to continue doing so when you’re on holiday. What colour bins are for what, and is that pizza box really recyclable here? Make it easy for your guests by leaving instructions, and also consider food composting onsite.
We know how tempting it is to turn on the AC when you’re on holiday, but as sustainability becomes an even bigger topic, it’s worth encouraging guests to use it more economically during their stay.
As part of our mission to #LiveALittleGreener, we decided to create a sustainable villa collection to showcase all the properties where owners are actively reducing their carbon footprint. You can check out some of our case studies of properties that’ve made small and impactful changes here and see how you could become part of the collection too.
