Covid-19 Cleaning & Disinfecting Protocol
Dear Guests & Friends,
The unprecedented pandemic which we recently experienced has provoked major upheavals in our personal and professional lives, which have required important adjustments both to the way we live and to the way we work. The hospitality industry has been particularly impacted, since it presupposes and accelerates cross-border travel, exploration and human contact. On the positive side, we cannot help but welcome the general slowing down of our hectic life rhythms and the unnecessary over-consumption which went with it. Both these trends could herald an era of authentic traveling, away from destructive forms of mass-tourism.
Concretely, the situation which we face in the travel & hospitality industry demands increased vigilance in terms of health and safety, areas which were already supremely important to us. At Daphne’s Club we have spent the previous months monitoring the recommendations and guidelines issued by national and local health authorities, in the aim of continuing to provide the best service possible, while safeguarding the health of our guests, team members and associates.
However, we view the challenge of providing a well-cleaned and correctly-disinfected space in a wider frame: We believe that ensuring health and safety must come neither at the cost of our environmental sustainability commitment and goals, nor at the cost of true hospitality. As we complete our procedural changes we will thus aim to remain part of our natural and human environment, keeping you safe and keeping our planet and our community safe too.
Welcome back!
