PHILOSOPHY

The idea behind Posada Rural La Matilde is to create accommodation where guests can connect with nature and discover the Region without leave a mark.

Some of the things we do to achieve this:

We generate electricity and heating using solar panels. We avoid transportation contamination by incorporating the concept of *km O* gastronomy, we have our own garden, and we buy the rest of the food no more than a few kilometers away. Gastronomy is also sustainability, health and solidarity. We sow and cultivate, we educate ourselves, and we compost. We collect forestry.

In no process do we use single-use plastic containers. We use biodegradable organic cleaning products. The soaps, shampoos, and solid conditioners for the rooms are made in La Matilde by @Vayacalma. Solid alternatives to cosmetic products are an important contribution to reducing plastic waste that highly affects all life on the planet.

Our method of organic and biodynamic agriculture, both in the garden and in the vineyards, is an activity of positive change, which begins with the regeneration of harmony in the environment.

Construction of the Inn - Bioarchitecture 

The nobility of ancestral customs in perfect harmony with comfort and quality. We built the inn entirely in adobe, mud plaster and wood-fired plaster. We use paints made with natural pigments. We realize the ceilings with dry forest wood to avoid a new felling, and the openings with disused railway sleepers. Rainwater collection, gray water recycling, solar heating, etc. make up an entire construction philosophy.

We have three boreholes that provide enough water for all the activities in the Region.

In addition, three lagoons that were dry and covered have been refunctionalized, making them deeper, improving the field's natural drainage for the purposes of channeling them.

Native forests are rich ecosystems that also provide great benefits to the environment and people. They offer refuge to the diversity of flora and fauna. They nourish, fix and protect soils from erosion and desertification. They prevent flooding, purify the air and release the oxygen necessary to live. They strengthen cultural identity. They provide spaces for rest, recreation and scenic beauty.

In La Matilde we conserve 60 hectares of native forest, being one of the most important environmental conservation projects in the province of Cordoba.
