On Holidays to Tuscany with our CSW
 

This summer we would like to visit Tuscany, together with Ottokar, our 2 1/5 yr old CSW.

In fact we just did a short trip to friends in the french Alps and it made us realize once again how important it is to carefully prepare the trip, so that all of us, including Ottokar, will enjoy the holidays: beautiful nature that we can enjoy and that Ottokar can enjoy as well, so forested areas with abundant space and little crowds (no city slicker, our Ottokar...), good hiking possibilities, good food and accomodation that offers privacy and yet has some luxury.

It is in fact the combination of nature, space, quietness and luxury that we seek.

We do believe that Tuscany province in Italy has all of this, the question is just: Where exactly to go. Is there anyone here that knows from experience a B&B or villa that allows dogs and that offers luxury like a swimming pool, good accomodation and privacy?

Anyone who has suggestions?

Thanks in advance (also from Ottokar ;-) )

Hi|
I'm Laura, from Italy, if you are interested, I can help you. Since we have our CWD Vlad, all the holidays are planned around him, we have used several times this site

here are all the houses in Tuscany, that are joined with this agency, where you can stay with your dog, I've choosed july, because I don't know what is the period of your holiday, but you can choose an other month.

If you want also what are the laws about the dogs here in Italy, I'm here, you can send me a private message, and if, in the future, you wish to visit also Liguria, where I live, ask me for information.
I hope beeing useful to you, bye

Hi Laura,

thank you for your excellent reply!:)

We already checked some of the shown appartments, looks good. I have been to Toscana quite a few times, but that was long before we had Ottokar. It is good to read we can actually take the dog (and our cat) with us to the accomodation / appartment.

We probably will go the last week of June and the first week of July.

By the way, we visited Cinque Terre 2 years back, should be not too far from your place, since you live in Liguria?

Once again, thanks for the information, we may have some more questions, once we start planning and preparing, I will send you a private message by then.

for now, grazie...:)
