Why Eco?
Every time we turn on the electric switch, every time we cook or open the fridge we consume energy. Energy produced at a power station is polluting the environment. For every kilowatt-hour we consume, more than one kilogram of carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere. By saving energy, we contribute to the protection of the environment, which makes its vital.
That’s why La Bellezza Eco Boutique Hotel is also actively and practically trying to help protect the environment as well as save energy.
Below you’ll find information about our effort in Santorini Island.

Fan coils are installed to all our suites and apartments in order to ensure better performance including the best possible control of working frequency. Optimum power is applied in all cooling and heating ranges. Maximum comfortable conditions are achieved while consuming minimum energy. All the pipe work throughout the facilities is insulated. There are also boilers to restore any shortfall.
