Enjoy Vienna in sustainably operated apartments with a clear conscience without having to sacrifice comfort

Geschichte

We (two brothers, Benedikt and Leonhard Zecha) commenced our business in 2008 with our first holiday apartment in the 13th district.
In the course time, we realized that we face the same responsibilities towards our environment as we do towards our guests. While we are committed to give our guests a pleasant and relaxing stay in Vienna, we also feel obliged to ensure that this happens in the most environmentally friendly way possible. Of this conviction we developed ecoapartment.at in 2013. This project enables us to provide our guests with a sustainable holiday in Vienna at a fair price. They can enjoy without having to compromise on comfort.
As a small project we draw on a much smaller budget than big companies. That’s why we decided to upgrade our apartments step by step by acquiring environmentally friendly equipment, furniture and energy-efficient electronics.

You find the measures that have been implemented so far in ALL apartments here:
All our apartments receive their electricity from 100% renewable energy
We are of the opinion that one should live with and not off the environment. Therefore, we donate 3% of our profits to organizations that are active in social and environmental areas. A new organization is elected every year.
We want to protect the global environment but we do not want our guests to have to sacrifice comfort. A permanent adaptation to the latest technology is just as inefficient (because still functional devices would need to be scrapped) as expensive. So we renew old or broken equipment by energy-efficient electronics step by step.
We value transparency so there is a transparency folder in each of our apartments where we document our actions with invoices and contracts
There are three garbage bins for separate waste disposal in our apartments
We try as often as possible to refrain from printed documents. If it cannot be avoided we use exclusively recycled paper for printed documents
It is very important to us that each of our apartments are clean when pass on to our guests. For cleaning we exclusively use products from sustainable companies with an Eco-Award.

This year we are pleased to officially cooperate with Happy Kids. 3% of our profits go to the prevention of violence and abuse against children.

We look forward to welcoming you!
Best greetings
Benedikt und Leonhard Zecha
