Pet-friendly villas

Bring the dog. Everyone's invited.

Villa rentals that genuinely welcome pets — fenced gardens, no size limits, and often a dog-friendly beach nearby. No more boarding the dog to take a trip. Bookable through VRBO + Expedia; filter for "pets allowed" and check the fee. Best-fit destinations: the Riviera, Mallorca, Tuscany-style countryside, the Cape, and coastal Portugal.

Frequently asked

Common questions

Is there a pet fee?

Usually — a cleaning surcharge of roughly $50–150 per stay is typical. It's shown at checkout; a few hosts waive it.

Are there size or breed limits?

It varies by host. Many villas welcome all sizes; some cap at one small-to-medium dog. The listing states the policy — message the host if unsure.

Do pet-friendly villas have fenced gardens?

The best ones do, and say so. If a secure garden matters, filter for it and confirm with the host before booking.

Can I leave my dog alone at the villa?

Policies differ — some hosts allow it if the dog is crated, others don't. Check the house rules to avoid a surprise.
