The article highlights how Ecobnb connects travelers with over 3,000 eco-friendly accommodations in more than 55 countries worldwide. Each property is selected based on 10 sustainability criteria, verified and reviewed directly by the community’s travelers. This ensures an authentic and environmentally friendly experience.

Among the accommodations recommended by The Guardian, Valtidone Verde stands out. This holistic eco-farm, located an hour and a half from Milan, is nestled in the rolling hills of Val Tidone. It features a panoramic pool and offers a nature-immersed experience. From the use of renewable energy to farm-to-table cuisine, Valtidone Verde distinguishes itself through its green practices, earning it the Ecobnb Award.

The Best Sustainable Alternatives to Airbnb and Booking.com

While Airbnb and Booking.com dominate the online booking market, more sustainable alternatives are emerging. Alongside Ecobnb, The Guardian also mentions other platforms promoting responsible tourism:

  • Fairbnb: A cooperative platform founded in Venice that offers short-term rentals with a clear mission: to return part of the generated value to the local community.
  • Socialbnb: A platform that allows travelers to book stays with positive social and environmental impacts, funding local projects.
  • Kindred: A service dedicated to home exchanges among selected users, fostering a more sustainable and accessible way to travel.
  • Coolstays: A platform featuring unique accommodations, such as barns converted into B&Bs, repurposed railway carriages, and off-grid chalets.
