The Ipê house is part of CASA's mission (Connection, Learning, Sinergy, and Art), an educational-evironmental project which promotes tourism and harmonious living. Caring for the environment is part of our daily routine, and we invite guests to do the same, recycling their trash and disposing of food scraps in the compost and worm bins, and taking care to reduce water use and electricity. We ask that you use only biodegradable soaps and conditioners, as well as our natural cleaning products whenever possible.

The homes were built using ecological materials like bamboo and recycled wood, as well as principles for conserving energy use and reducing wastes. We have a banana sewage treatment system, a green roof, solar panels for electricity, solar hot water system, and we are in the process of putting in a rainwater capture system. When you choose the C.A.S.A Ecológica you are supporting low-impact tourism and are part of the solution for a sustainable future!

There is parking on the property for one car (two can be considered with prior reservation), and there is plenty of space on the street in front of the house. We have never had any problem in terms of space or safety. The neighborhood is one of the safest and best in the city.
