The story of Casa Albets, our story<\/h1>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”cabecera2″]\n

Casa Albets is what it is today, thanks to our unwavering commitment to our values<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text]

Although this manor has been in my family since the 11th century, the Casa Albets project began when I met Joel. And no, our beginnings were far from idyllic.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]\n

Oh! By the way, this is Megan, heir of Casa Albets and the one responsible for making you feel at home when you come to visit us.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]\n

But before we meet in person, I want you to know a little bit about our history.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]\n

As I was saying, the journey of transforming this manor into the hotel it is today has not been easy at all.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]\n

We started with a lot of enthusiasm but very little experience. Since we opened our doors in 2017, we have faced setbacks as harsh as the pandemic, when we were forced to temporarily close.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]\n

However, we took advantage of this time to reflect, learn from our mistakes, and reshape our business.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]\n

Joel and I never gave up, and do you know why? Because we had a clear purpose:<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]\n

To offer an excellent vegan gastronomic experience that inspires a more ethical and respectful lifestyle, and to create a wellness space where everyone feels safe in a peaceful and inclusive hotel.<\/strong><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]\n

Thanks to our effort, a significant investment, and constant learning, we can say that Casa Albets is 100% aligned with the purposes that led us to start this project.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][vc_single_image image=”16534″ img_size=”600×600″ alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image” css=”” el_class=”borde_redondeado”]

<\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]\n

We are Megan and Joel, the team behind Casa Albets.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are a large and multi-species family (3 kids, 3 dogs, and 4 cats), working hand in hand to make you always want to come back.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”fila_estrecha”][vc_column width=”1\/2″]

<\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]\n

You’ll see me everywhere because I’m a jack-of-all-trades. I answer your calls and messages, serve dinner and breakfast, act as receptionist in all shifts, manage the accounting, take care of all the details… oh! and I’m also the content creator on Instagram.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]

Officially the chef of the restaurant, and the person who will tantalize your taste buds. Although, at times, I can also be a gardener, electrician, or handyman.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]
<\/div>[vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”textocabecera”]\n

We are entrepreneurs with values<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]\n

Ecologists<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every aspect of your stay at Casa Albets is aligned with sustainable values.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0– All our products, from food to cosmetics and furniture, are vegan, ecological, and locally sourced (whenever possible) to minimize our carbon footprint.
\n– We heat our facilities with biomass from the region.
\n– We compost all organic waste.
\n– We treat our gray water naturally in a purifier with specialized plants.
\n– We recycle 100% of our recyclable waste.
\n– Our energy comes from our solar panels, and when we need extra supply, we buy it from a company that distributes only renewable energy.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]\n

Vegan<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because if you are sensitive to animal welfare, here you can enjoy according to your values without having to compromise on anything.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0– Part of our profits are allocated to animal causes.
\n– If you travel with your furry friend, they will be more than welcome.
\n– EVERYTHING (really, everything) is vegan. Not only the food (which is the most obvious) but also our clothing and shoes, cosmetics, furniture, bedding, and decoration…<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]\n

Fair Trade<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because we are a family business that supports other small businesses by understanding the challenges of making a business thrive.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0– We work with small local businesses and artisans in the region.
\n– We only collaborate with brands that align with our values.
\n– Products that we cannot source locally (such as chocolate or coffee) are purchased organically and with fair trade certification.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]
<\/div>[vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”textocabecera”]\n

Thousands of guests have already visited us.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

<\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]\n

And we proudly say that we have an incredible community on Instagram with whom we share values and some laughs.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_single_image image=”17105″ alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” css=”” link=”https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/hotelcasaalbets\/”]
<\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]\n

So, if you’re more into…<\/p>\n

Leaving your footprint on the earth rather than on the environment<\/strong>
\nKissing animals instead of eating them<\/strong>
\nSupporting local businesses instead of buying from big corporations<\/strong><\/p>\n

Then, you’re very much Casa Albets
\nand we’re already waiting for you.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]
