The present project proposes to act on the landscape in two aspects;  on the one hand, it intends to improve the visual/landscape quality of the place and to rehabilitate the intervention area, on the other hand, it is intended to create a diversified offer of spaces that enhance the hotel.

To improve the visual quality of the site and rehabilitate the intervention area, the following actions are proposed: 

- Removal of weeds trees gradually and by sectors;

- Soil improvement by depositing litter and straw, covered with earth;

- Planting of trees in patches, following the contour lines;

- framing, walking and free recreation areas;

- formal garden areas next to the building and equipment;

- pedestrian walkways to access equipment, clearings, points of interest;

- vegetable garden;
