Hotel Della Valle

Hotel Della Valle Dog Friendly Review

Hotel Della Valle holds a failing F Roch Rank, and that verdict reflects a stay that offers almost nothing to reassure a dog owner before or during a visit. There is little here to give your dog's comfort or entertainment any real thought, and the hotel itself gives away no character or setting that speaks to canine guests at all. What you are left with is a bare-bones arrangement rather than anything resembling a considered welcome, and you should plan your stay accordingly rather than expecting warmth on arrival. Nothing in what is available suggests this is a hotel that has built its reputation around dogs, and the rank bears that out clearly enough that owners should treat this as a functional stopover at best rather than a destination chosen for your dog's sake.

Day to day, you will find very little laid on for you or your dog once you arrive. There is no dog bed, no bowls for food or water, and no treats waiting in the room, so you will need to bring your own kit for feeding and settling your dog in for the night. There is no dog-walking or dog-sitting service to fall back on, no poop bags provided for tidying up outside, and no grooming or wash area to sort your dog out after a muddy walk, so you are entirely self-sufficient for the length of your stay. A refundable damage deposit is charged, which means you will need to budget for that outlay upfront even though it should be returned to you assuming no damage occurs, adding a small administrative hurdle to what is otherwise a stripped-back arrangement.

The restrictions here matter as much as the missing amenities. Only some rooms are dog friendly rather than the whole hotel, so you will need to check and confirm this at the time of booking rather than assuming any room will do. A weight or size limit applies, which will rule out larger breeds altogether and is worth clarifying before you travel to avoid disappointment on arrival. Dogs may not be left alone in the room, meaning you cannot nip out without your dog in tow, which will shape your plans for meals, sightseeing or anything else that might otherwise call for leaving your dog behind for a spell. Taken together with the deposit and the complete absence of dog-specific extras, this is a stay that will suit only an owner with a small, calm dog who needs no more than a roof over their heads for a night or two. Anyone hoping for genuine dog friendly comfort, treats or facilities should look elsewhere.
