La Villa Douce Awarded the Green Key Label: Recognition of Our Commitment to Sustainable Hospitality
Hotel La Villa Douce is proud to announce that it has been awarded the Green Key label, the leading international certification for sustainable tourism in the hospitality industry.
This distinction recognises hotels and restaurants that actively implement environmentally responsible practices and are committed to reducing their impact while maintaining the highest standards of guest experience.
For the entire team at La Villa Douce, this recognition represents an important milestone in a long-standing commitment to responsible hospitality, perfectly aligned with our vision of welcoming guests to one of the Mediterranean’s most beautiful natural settings.
A Commitment Inspired by Our Exceptional Environment
Perched above the Mediterranean in Rayol-Canadel-sur-Mer, overlooking the Golden Islands, La Villa Douce hotel enjoys a privileged location within one of the most preserved areas of the French Riviera.
Surrounded by sea, hills and Mediterranean vegetation, we are constantly reminded of the importance of protecting the environment that makes this destination so unique.
Receiving the Green Key label acknowledges the actions we have undertaken to reduce our environmental footprint and contribute to a more sustainable model of tourism on the Côte d’Azur.
Sustainability Through Everyday Actions
Our commitment goes far beyond certification.
Every day, we strive to improve our practices through concrete initiatives, including:
-Responsible management of water and energy consumption
-Waste reduction and recycling programmes
-Ongoing environmental awareness among our teams
-Support for local suppliers and producers whenever possible
-Continuous improvement of our sustainability practices
Our ambition is simple: to combine environmental responsibility with the quality of service and comfort that our guests expect.
L’Envol Restaurant: A Shared Commitment to Responsible Gastronomy
This philosophy extends naturally to our restaurant L’Envol, our panoramic restaurant overlooking the Mediterranean.
Already recognised with two Écotable Macarons, L’Envol celebrates seasonal Mediterranean cuisine while prioritising local sourcing and short supply chains.
By working closely with regional producers and selecting ingredients with care, our culinary team creates a dining experience that is both refined and responsible.
For us, sustainability is not only about how we welcome our guests—it is also reflected in every dish we serve.
