Before confirming the stay
Tell the host the number, size and needs of the animals travelling. Confirm any house conditions rather than making assumptions. Bring identification, lead, waste bags, water and familiar items, and plan so the dog is not left distressed in an unfamiliar space.
Beaches and public transport
Dog access to beaches varies by zone and time of year. Check the municipality and beach operator; an old 'dog-friendly' label may no longer reflect the rule. Trains, buses and boats may require a muzzle, carrier or separate ticket.
Portofino and the promenade become crowded. Cooler, quieter hours, water and regular pauses improve the experience for both dog and owner.
Walking in Portofino Park
Match the trail to paw condition, fitness and temperature. Keep control around wildlife, walkers and private land, and check current park restrictions. Turn back if the ground is too hot or the route becomes exposed or damaged.
