Cipresso e Pietra is a proud member of 1% for the Planet. With every night you stay, you will be giving back, with 1% of your purchase going to an environmental nonprofit! We are currently partnered with SIMBIO, an Italian nonprofit organization that promotes sustainable development here in Italy and abroad in the rainforest. For example, their campaign "Be Active Stop Plastic" brings awareness and action to the conscious use of single use plastic.  

 

We also take ambitious action to reduce our environmental footprint and work closely with local communities to preserve cultural and natural heritage.
