• We successfully manage and operate hotels and guesthouses
• We offer employment and training for women facing challenging circumstances
• We rent temporary accommodation to women, including women in crisis situations
• We maintain properties in city centers that are specifically intended for use by women
• We foster a corporate culture that embraces diversity as a source of enrichment and places great value on a concern for the less fortunate – while at the same time remaining competitive in the marketplace.

We are part of a long-established tradition of social commitment on the part of women. From the time the companies were founded, we have fostered a close-knit cooperation with the Compagna association and the compagna conviva foundation, the owner of the properties.
