7 pet friendly hotels from north to south
How many times have you skipped a weekend getaway just to avoid leaving your dog at home alone? Don’t let that stop you from having a refreshing weekend. There are more and more pet-friendly hotels, i.e. those that accept and pamper your pets.
From luxury hotels to rural tourism, there are many pet-friendly accommodation options. Some only allow you to be accompanied by your pet, but there are more and more that pamper them, with offers to make your tail wag.
We have selected 7 pet friendly hotels from north to south of the country for you to choose from. We have already been to some of them, but here our concern was to make life easier for you and your pet.
Alamal River Club
The Alamal River Club is situated in a truly parasidiacal location, right on the banks of the Tagus River. The small hotel in the Gavião municipality accepts animals and also offers a wide river beach for your four-legged friend’s games.
Tryp Lisboa Caparica Mar
The Tryp Lisboa Caparica Mar also has water almost on its doorstep, but this time it’s the sea we’re talking about. The hotel with breathtaking views and right next to the sea, allows us to relax on the immense deck overlooking the ocean.
The Tryp Lisboa Caparica Mar is pet friendly and, in addition to this, it also provides pampering for its four-legged guests who also have the beach that made Lisbon famous right at their fingertips.
