Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative:

The Solar dos Deuses staff focuses on the dissemination of local culture and on the protection of the environment, expecting significant positive outcome in a short term scale.

Having taken environmental welfare solutions into account since the beginning, the building itself was constructed and restored using recovered wood. In addition to that, the administration takes other actions such as waste sorting, paper recycling and monitoring water waste.

The hotel's physical structure is a certified national patrimony, which is restored annually according to UNESCO's guidelines. The decoration is entirely based on the Afro-Brazilian culture, composed of vivid colours and selected decor objects.

Also, Solar dos Deuses supports social initiatives by giving annual donations to the Abrigo São Geraldo (a shelter for the homeless children) and the Meninos do Pelô NGO.
