Five-Leaf System

Our aim is to help holiday makers and people travelling on business to find those in the hospitality industry that value eco-performance. And so it all began.

This concept was created by John and Silvia Pelham. John was a teacher and a translator; Silvia is an architect. They lived in Portugal for over 30 years and became increasingly aware of the importance of environmental issues. The idea started in 2010, when they were on a safari with their daughter and her family in Sri Lanka. The accommodation was in huts on stilts (to keep the wild animals at ba

y) and in the bathroom there was a tablet with advice on how to save water. In the bedroom, however, the air conditioning had to be on full blast because the room was not properly insulated. John happened to say: “This may well be a 5-star hotel but if there was a rating on ecological grounds, it would not get more than one or two.” “No rating system?” said Silvia, “we could do that.” So they checked on Google and there was no system of the kind they were thinking of.

After almost a year of chaos, especially in the sector of travelling and tourism, 2021 offers reasons for optimism with COVID-19 vaccines on the way and travelling, tourism and economic recovery gathering momentum, but a resurgence in infections prompting new restrictions makes it difficult to envision a return to normal.

In one word, 2020 was unprecedented. None of us could have even imagined that what seemed as just a regional virus at the beginning would end up becoming a once-in-a-century pandemic that would force many countries into months of lockdown and prompt such global health, economic and social crises.

Looking back on 2020, we see a global economy that was sent into what is likely the deepest and fastest recession since at least World War II. What is even worse, it is not yet clear when a full recovery could happen.
Indeed, the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, which at last count has sadly infected nearly 83 million people and caused around 1.8 million deaths worldwide, dominated growth, markets and, of course, our daily lives throughout the year.

We all focus now on what to expect from now on.
The first half of 2021 will continue to be difficult, according to economists. However, they say, the second half could see the first synchronized global recovery.

It is a common view that there will be obvious improvement in the global economy in 2021, mainly because it will not be difficult to be better than 2020.

The pandemic has shown us how fragile humans can be, especially if we do not pay much more attention to important things in the future, such as health infrastructure and investing in infrastructure and practices imposed by climate change.

At 𝗔𝗤𝗨𝗜𝗟𝗔 𝗛𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘀 & 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 we focus on the opening of this year's tourist season with optimism.
We are preparing to operate safely for our staff, partners and our customers (as in 2020) always with consistency and respect for our corporate values, offering the well-known unparalleled Cretan hospitality.
We remain faithful to the consistent high quality of our services and look forward to welcoming our first guests.

Our Story

Five Leaf System is moving forward in loving memory of John Pelham, the (e)co-creator along with his beloved wife Silvia Pelham.

John was a teacher and a translator; Silvia is an architect with a PhD that involves environmental retrofitting of existing buildings. Residing in Portugal for over 40 years, they became increasingly aware of the importance of environmental issues in the world today.
