\"B&B<\/a>

Lots of B&Bs operate in a sustainable way.<\/p><\/div>\n

Running a sustainable business is an unstoppable trend and this can also be seen with B&Bs. The list of European B&Bs with an ecolabel is steadily growing. Nice to know, if you like going on a trip environmentally aware. Also hot: bed & breakfast in an ecological farm.<\/p>\n

Ecological farm
\n<\/strong>Do you give preference to an extra environmentally aware B&B address, than go to\u00a0Bedandbreakfast.eu<\/a>\u00a0and enter key words like ‘Ecolabel<\/a>‘ or ‘sustainable<\/a>‘. Or in the search results, go the box \u2018B&B Type\u2019 (on the left) and check the category \u2018Ecological farm\u2019. Here’s a small selection of bed & breakfasts in ecological farms in\u00a0Bed and breakfasts in ecological farms in\u00a0Germany<\/a>,\u00a0France<\/a>,\u00a0Spain<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Italy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To be allowed to use an ecolabel, an entrepreneur has to take several sustainability measures. Known international ecolabels are the Green Key, Green Globe or the EU Ecolabel. For guests, these ecolabels prove that the owner manages his business environmentally aware.<\/p>\n

B&B: a sustainable choice
\n<\/strong>Staying in a bed and breakfast is a sustainable choice anyhow. The guest accommodations are often arranged in an existing property, so no new building had to be built for it. A lot of B&B owners already operate environmentally aware, for example, by using an energy-saving high efficiency boiler, a water-saving shower head and low-energy light bulbs. Moreover, they often serve (biological) local products at breakfast.<\/p>\n

On Bedandbreakfast.eu you can find beautiful and very affordable eco-friendly B&B’s everywhere in Europe. Go to Bedandbreakfast.eu >><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
