Gandum's values: what you feel, what you experience, what remains
The core values of Gandum Village reflect our mission to be a space that combines excellent hospitality with a positive impact on the environment, society, and the local economy.
These are not slogans. They are criteria. They guide small and large decisions, from the design of the facilities to the experiences offered to guests and the way we relate to the community.
Basically, it's simple: we want your stay to be great—and we want the place around you to be better for having you here.
