Villa Cortine Palace Hotel

Villa Cortine Palace Hotel Dog Friendly Review

Villa Cortine Palace Hotel holds a failing F Roch Rank, and for owners weighing up a stay with a dog it is worth understanding why before anything else. The hotel presents itself with the air of a grand lakeside residence, and there is one small mercy for anyone travelling with a dog: no damage deposit is required, so you are not left putting down money against hypothetical mishaps. Beyond that reassurance, though, the picture for dog owners is thin, and the failing rank reflects a property that has not built its offering around canine guests in any meaningful way, however handsome its setting.

Day to day, there is little in the way of kit or service to speak of, and the practical arrangements are simple rather than generous. You will pay Euro 70,00 a notte for your dog to stay, and given how bare the accompanying provisions are, that fee reads as steep for what little it actually secures beyond a roof over your dog's head. There is no deposit to worry about, which does simplify checkout, but that is where the convenience ends. Access is also limited by room rather than by the whole property, meaning your booking has to be matched carefully to one of the specific rooms designated as dog friendly, rather than any room you might otherwise prefer.

The restrictions matter here as much as the absences. Only certain rooms accept dogs, so you must confirm this before booking rather than assuming, and a weight or size limit of 22 lbs rules out larger dogs entirely, making this a non-starter for anyone with a big breed. Your dog also cannot be left alone in the room, which means your plans for the day need to work around constant company, with no dog-sitting service to fall back on. There is no garden, no dedicated dog space, no wash area, no bowls, bed or toys provided, and no walking guidance or staff trained for canine guests, so you are essentially bringing everything yourself. This stay could suit an owner with a single small dog under the weight limit who plans to be present throughout the visit and wants only a bed for the night, but anyone with a larger dog, or who needs facilities and support laid on, should look elsewhere.

This hotel does not meet the Roch Dog Friendly Standard. This hotel has been evaluated, ranked and reviewed using the Roch Standard, the world’s first dog friendly standard for the hotel industry. We gathered data directly from the hotel and benchmarked it against thousands of other hotels to accurately and fairly derive its rank.
