- Restaurant: Is the dog allowed in the dining or breakfast area?
- Left alone in the room: Is the dog allowed to stay in the room unaccompanied for short periods?
- Exercise area: Is there a fenced-in garden or a dog park?

Wellness hotels in South Tyrol that welcome dogs
Want to treat not just your dog, but yourself to some relaxation too? Some wellness hotels in South Tyrol also allow dog owners to bring their four-legged friends along. However, in most cases, you are not permitted to take your dog into the pool or wellness area.
Dog-friendly lakes
Dedicated dog beaches are rare on South Tyrol’s lakes, but dogs are allowed in the water at some of them. Lake Antholz is particularly suitable, as dogs are allowed to swim there all year round; there are also opportunities to cool off with your dog at Lake Reschen and the Zoggler Reservoir. At traditional swimming lakes, however, there are often seasonal restrictions or bans on dogs – so you should always check the current rules on site.
What you need to know before travelling to Italy
To enter Italy from an EU country, your dog must have an EU pet passport, be microchipped and have a valid rabies vaccination. In addition, Italy has regulations regarding the compulsory use of leads and muzzles: in public and publicly accessible areas, dogs must always be kept on a lead; a muzzle must be carried and put on if required.
