Pet-Friendly Luxury Holiday Villas in Italy

What makes our luxury villas suitable for pets?

We know that a truly pet-friendly stay requires more than just allowing dogs through the front door. Every property in this collection offers genuine peace of mind for pet owners through hand-selected amenities.

Fully fenced and secure grounds

Rest easy while you lounge by the pool. Many of our pet-friendly properties feature fully enclosed stone walls, security gates, or sturdy garden fencing, allowing your dog to roam freely and safely around the estate.

Fantastic walking Trails

Skip the morning pavement walk and step straight onto nature trails. Our luxury villas are tucked away near rolling vineyard paths, olive groves, and national parks, perfect for scenic morning walks right from your front door.

Shaded areas and cool interiors

Italian summers can get warm, but our traditional stone villas and shaded outdoor spaces provide naturally cool spots for your dog to snooze comfortably during the heat of the day.

Welcoming hosts

Our local property owners are passionate pet lovers themselves, always ready with regional recommendations for dog-friendly beaches, parks, and dining spots.

Frequently asked questions about pet-friendly luxury holiday villas in Italy

How can I double-check if the garden fence is secure for my dog?

If your pet has a tendency to bolt, then contact our team to check that the perimeter of your preferred pet-friendly holiday villa is 100% escape-proof.

Is there an extra fee or cleaning deposit for bringing a pet?

Most of our villas charge an additional fee of 100 euros to bring along your four-legged friend. This is to cover the extra cleaning costs to ensure that all traces of dog hair have been removed for future guests.

What documentation do I need to bring my dog to Italy?

Requirements will depend on what country you are travelling from. If coming to Italy from the UK, your pet will need an Animal Health Certificate, a valid rabies vaccination and a microchip. US visitors will need a USDA endorsement, a EU health certificate, a rabies vaccination and a 15 digit ISO microchip. We recommend you check with your local vet before travelling.
