Currently, the vast majority of dog and cat caretakers treat their pets as family members. In this light, it is not surprising that when planning a vacation, winter break, or holidays, we want to take our four-legged friend with us. But where to go on vacation with a dog, and what is worth knowing before arriving at a hotel with an animal?
How to choose a vacation spot with a dog?
When planning a trip with a dog, the first thing to do is to carefully choose the region where we will be resting. Deciding to take a pet, in this case, requires taking into account not only our needs but also those of the animal. At this stage, it is worth preliminarily determining what we want to do and what activities to undertake, and then verify if the dog will be able to accompany us. We must bear in mind that although more and more tourist attractions, cultural facilities, and restaurants are becoming pet-friendly, there are still many places where dogs cannot enter.
Preparing for a vacation with a dog and creating a stay plan, we also need to consider its age and condition - after all, the trip should be a pleasure for the whole family, both two- and four-legged! In this context, a great proposition can be the Beskid Sądecki region, a significant part of which is covered by the Poprad Landscape Park. The complex has many hiking trails with varying degrees of difficulty, making it easy to find a route suited to both our capabilities and those of our dog. More on this topic is written in another of our articles: Where to go to the mountains with a dog?
Which hotel to choose for a vacation with a dog?
Once we have chosen the direction of travel, it's time to find accommodation. More and more facilities are becoming open to stays with dogs, hence regardless of the destination, it should be quite easy to find a pet-friendly hotel, such as Belmonte. It is a luxury hotel in the mountains, inviting all dog and cat owners to relax in the beautiful surroundings of the Beskid Sądecki mountains in the company of their furry friends.
The Belmonte team consists of true animal lovers, the surroundings of the facility are conducive to long walks with dogs, and the hotel offers amenities that allow them to feel almost like at home, such as:
- bowls and placemats for bowls,
- beds in three sizes,
- a toy,
- a door hanger informing about the pet in the room,
- a drinking station in front of the hotel on hot days,
- bags for cleaning up after the pet.
What's more, stays with pets at the Belmonte hotel are allocated to only one floor.
What to remember before going to a hotel with a dog?
When booking a vacation with a dog at a hotel, we must remember that each property has specific rules regarding the stay of pets. People who want to come to Belmonte with a dog or cat must accept the pet stay regulations, which state, among other things, that the pet's guardian is responsible for any damage caused by the pet.
Moreover, it is necessary to be aware that arriving with an animal usually involves an additional charge. Why is that? After the pet's stay in the room, the property requires different cleaning procedures – and this, in turn, generates specific costs.
In the hotel regulations, including the rules in effect at Belmonte, there is also a provision concerning not informing the reception about having a dog or cat. It is not worth risking and choosing such a solution, as this may be subject to a financial penalty or the necessity to pay a higher fee than for the stay of a previously reported pet.
