let’s be honest, with 6 private spas the Domaine de Monteils does not claim to be a model of eco responsibility, but we put a lot of goodwill to minimize the impact of our activity on the environment.

Waste management

• The sorting of waste is organized on site: Each apartment has a bin with several compartments dedicated to each category of waste. A translated note on waste sorting is provided

• A green waste composting area is set up in a remote corner of the estate.

• A zeolite bed has been installed for the treatment of wastewater: Alternative absorbent that prevents the contamination of groundwater by leachate (laundry, organic micro pollutants, ammonium, heavy metals) and improves the quality of effluents.

Energy savings

• All exterior and interior bulbs are LEDs. The exterior lighting is programmed by an astronomical clock, including several spotlight with presence detectors.

• The filtration systems of the pools and spas work with an eco-smart mode.

• Very good insulation of roofs and windows with triple glazing or double glazing with reinforced thermal insulation.

• Natural Cooling: The traditional terracotta-slab roof insulation and our 60 cm-thick stone walls naturally retain warmth in winter and keep the interiors cool in summer. Air conditioning is therefore only needed during periods of particularly high heat.

Eco-friendly renovation

• The renovation of all the buildings was carried out with sustainable materials: Wooden doors and windows, insulation of the ceilings with hemp wool, reuse of terracotta “parfeuilles” under roofs and reclaimed terracotta tiles, natural paints and lime coatings.
