Hotel Principe Forte dei Marmi Dog Friendly Review
Hotel Principe Forte dei Marmi holds a disappointing D Roch Rank, which is a shame given some genuine strengths on offer for dog owners. The hotel has a garden your dog can use, and there are green spaces nearby for walks beyond the grounds. Staff keep an emergency vet number on hand, and the pet policy is shared with you before you book, so there are no surprises on arrival. Cats are also welcome to stay, which speaks to a broader acceptance of animal guests.
Dogs are welcome in all of the hotel's outlets, including the bar, the restaurant, the terrace and the lounge, with the only exceptions being the spa and the outdoor swimming pool. Your dog may be left alone in the room for short periods, giving you some flexibility during the stay. There is no damage deposit required, as the hotel says it trusts guests to take good care of their pets. A dog fee of €50 applies for the stay, which is a reasonable amount given the range of spaces your dog can accompany you into.
The hotel only gladly welcomes small dogs, with a weight limit of 11 lbs, which rules out larger breeds entirely. There is no dedicated dog space, no dog wash area, no dog bed, and no real food or water bowls provided. The hotel does not offer dog food for sale, free treats, walking route guidance, a dog-walking service, or arrange a dog sitter or groomer. There are no poop bags given, no dog toys, and staff have not had canine guest training. This stay suits owners with a genuinely small, calm dog who are happy to bring their own bowls, bedding and bags, and who value having the run of the hotel's social spaces. Owners of medium or large dogs, or those wanting hands-on dog services laid on for them, should look elsewhere.
