Filtered water
We provide water filter jugs and collect the used cartridges to send them back for recycling. There is no need to buy water in plastic bottles.
Saving Water
Water is a valuable good - therefore we have installed water-saving fittings. Furthermore we do not have daily cleaning and change the towels on request.
Ecological & Natural
We use ecologically certificated detergents and cleaning products, recycling toilet paper and kitchen rolls as well as natural toiletries from local manufacturers.
Saving Energy
All our devices & appliances have a high energy efficiency class and the entire lighting is equipped with LEDs. In addition we have smart air conditioning controls and give our guests recommendations on how they can help us save energy.
Cotton tote bags
We encourage our guests to say no to plastic bags by providing fabric bags for their shoppings in every room as well as in the common area.
Upcycled Furniture
For our minimalistic interiors we used natural materials and upcycled furniture: we restored inherited furniture ourselves.
Collect Empty Refundable Cans & Bottles
Whenever you can not avoid bottled drinks we kindly ask you to buy bottles or cans with this pledge sign. We collect them for our neighbour who brings them back.
Think before you trash it
We provide different waste bins to separate paper, plastic, batteries etc. and encourage our guests to help us separating the waste they could not avoid.

The foundation of Casa Amando is built on our own values of sustainable tourism.
We believe that the biggest problem is the pollution of the sea with [micro]plastics and the thoughtless waste of natural resources. Therefore we are committed to avoid plastics, promote local products and services, and to be conscious about the usage of natural resources.

BOUNCING BETWEEN CROATIA & GERMANY
Our story
How it all began
We are Marijana and Darko, both born in Germany with Croatian roots. A film project in 2011 brought us to Rovinj where we fell in love with it. 3 years later this house found us...and it took us 2,5 years to renovate it completely. Casa Amando opened its doors in July 2017 and was a personal project of mine [Marijana] and I literally know every stone! In the summer months and in our project free time, we also enjoy to be in the house and are available for questions, personal tips and suggestions. I put my review on the line with any recommendation I give as it has been personally tested by me.
Who we are & what we do
Darko and I, we are bouncing between Germany and Croatia now. Apart from being the owners of CASA AMANDO we are film and IT professionals bridging between Germany & Croatia.
