Our sustainability measures in the hotel

#gioiosamoments

Gioiosa – a place that connects: people, nature and values
 

At the Active & Family Hotel Gioiosa, your wellbeing comes first – and so does the wellbeing of our planet. We’re more than a family hotel. We’re a place of connection, authenticity and genuine hospitality. We believe that true relaxation happens where people and nature live in harmony.

For us, sustainability isn’t a trend – it’s a conscious choice. That’s why we’re proud to have received GSTC certification (Global Sustainable Tourism Council) – one of the most respected global standards for sustainable tourism.

But this recognition isn’t the end of our journey – it’s just the beginning. We continue to grow and improve every day, with mindfulness, responsibility and a love for what we do.
 

What sustainability means at Gioiosa
 

We save energy and water, reduce waste, support local suppliers and ensure fair working conditions for our team. And we invite our guests to join us – not through pressure, but through transparency and shared values.

Even small decisions make a big difference: reusing towels and sheets or skipping daily room cleaning helps preserve resources.
 

Car-free holidays? Easy!
 

We offer plenty of convenient, eco-friendly options: e-bikes, mountain bikes and e-scooters directly at the hotel, free public transport across Trentino, and the handy Bus&Go on-demand shuttle in Riva del Garda. And to explore the lake? Hop on a panoramic boat and enjoy the view – no parking stress, just pure relaxation.
 

Our goal: sustainable holidays, from the heart
 

We follow a clear sustainability plan and an ethical code that guides our decisions.
At Gioiosa, we stand for real values – not perfection, but honesty and purpose.
Let’s shape the future together – with warmth, awareness and joy.
