No Weight LimitGiardinetto Dog Friendly Review
Giardinetto holds an acceptable C Roch Rank for owners travelling with dogs. Dogs are welcome throughout the hotel, including the bar, restaurant, terrace and lounge, with only the pool area off limits, and all of the hotel's rooms accept dogs so there is no narrowing of your choice at booking. There is no weight or size limit, so dogs of any size are welcome, and just outside the hotel a lakeside promenade runs past several free beaches, giving you somewhere to walk your dog and, if he enjoys swimming, a chance for him to take a dip in the lake.
Day to day, up to three dogs are allowed per room for a supplement, and the dog fee is €12,00 with no damage deposit required for the dog. You may leave your dog alone in the room for a short period, for example while you are at dinner. Your dog is free to accompany you into the bar, restaurant, terrace and lounge, and the garden is also open to him, so there is no need to leave him behind for most parts of your stay. The lakeside walk just outside the hotel doubles as your main option for exercise and for letting him cool off in the water.
The hotel does not provide a dedicated dog space, a dog wash area, a dog bed, bowls, dog food, treats or toys, and there is no dog walking service, pet sitting arrangement, grooming service or poop bags supplied. It does not keep an emergency vet number, has no record of dog friendly events, awards or media coverage, and does not support a dog charity, nor does it accept cats. This suits an owner whose dog is easygoing about having his own gear brought from home and who wants a lakeside base with wide run of the hotel's shared spaces. Owners wanting dedicated dog amenities, grooming or sitting services on site should look elsewhere.

This hotel has been evaluated, ranked and reviewed using the Roch Standard, the world’s first dog friendly standard for the hotel industry.
