The EUROPARC Federation stands as the oldest and largest network of European Protected Areas, with a legacy spanning over five decades. Throughout its illustrious history, EUROPARC has tirelessly supported hundreds of parks and local partners in their efforts to safeguard Europe's natural beauty and cultural heritage. The European Charter for Sustainable Tourism in Protected Areas (ECSTPA) represents a cornerstone of EUROPARC's mission, advocating for tourism practices that not only preserve natural and cultural values but also enhance local livelihoods and economic viability.
At Podere Conti, sustainability is a way of life. Through initiatives such as organic farming, waste reduction, and water management, the resort strives to maintain the delicate balance of nature upon which it depends. Guests are invited to participate in hands-on activities, such as guided nature walks and farming pursuits, fostering a deeper connection to the environment and a greater appreciation for its intrinsic value.
Furthermore, Podere Conti is deeply invested in supporting the local community and economy.
