Holidays Vacations offers curated pet-friendly accommodations across several European countries. Use search filters for pet rules and facilities, plan travel time and transport, and confirm booking protections and pricing details before you book. Prepare pet paperwork and essentials for a smoother trip.

Pet-friendly stays across Europe

Holidays Vacations selects charming hotels, castles, mansions, cottages, villas and campsites across France, Spain, Portugal and other European countries where you and your pet are welcome. The aim is to make traveling with a dog or other pet as simple as possible.

Search with practical filters

Use filters to narrow results by accommodation type, pet policies, on-site facilities (pool, parking), and distance to local attractions. Look for clear information about pet fees, weight limits, and any rules about pets in communal areas.

Decide what matters to you

Think about travel time and how you'll get there. If you prefer not to drive far, choose a location closer to your departure city or with good rail links. If you want a quiet stay, avoid large resort campsites and look for small-scale cottages or countryside villas. If a pool or easy access to sights is important, include those as search criteria.

Booking with confidence

Before you book, check the supplier's credentials and consumer protections available where you're traveling. Confirm accepted payment methods (major credit cards are commonly accepted) and read cancellation and refund policies. For package-type bookings, look for recognized financial protection schemes and clear booking terms.

Pricing and what it covers

Pricing can be shown per room per night, per room for the full stay, or per vehicle for car hire. Always check what the displayed rate includes: cleaning fees, local taxes, or special offers may affect the final price. For other products (flights, transfers, excursions), the price may be quoted for the total party.

Travel tips for pets

Prepare your pet's paperwork for cross-border travel, including microchip, vaccinations and any country-specific entry requirements. Pack familiar bedding, bowls, and a short-term supply of food. Ask the host about nearby walks, veterinary services, and pet-sitting options.

Short breaks and flexibility

If you're looking for short breaks or last-minute value, compare offers across dates and providers. Many operators run promotions at different times of the year - check cancellation flexibility and whether promotional rates include the same protections as regular bookings.

Final checklist before you go

  • Confirm pet policy and any extra charges
  • Verify travel documents and health requirements for your pet
  • Read recent guest reviews for both property and host responsiveness
  • Check booking terms for refunds, changes and consumer protection
Whether you want a romantic cottage, a family villa, or a quiet campsite, thoughtful filtering and a quick pre-booking checklist will help you find a holiday that suits both you and your pet.
