La Almunia del Valle, is committed to the environment so the largest possible area for gardens has benn found. The hotel is trying to avoid soft and short grass as this consumes large volumes of water and means that weeds have to be removed. It also means that fertilizer and herbicides which produce soil and water contamination have to be used. as an alternative the hotel's policy is to try and create large areas of Spanish grass. Strawberry tree, broom, jazmine, vines, ivy, myrtle and other aromatic plants; rosemary, sage, lavender, mint, thyme, etc., wich are resistant to disease and their for water is minimal. Whenever possible the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides will be avoided. These contain toxic products and biodegrade very slowly. The strategic location of the swimming-pool allows the guest to relax while enjoying the landscape. Don’t miss the amazing experience of watching the stars during a summer or spring night on the terraces. The facilities and all the services provided within them, including the dining service, are for guests only.
