Looking for a pet-friendly hotel on the Costa Brava?

Sharing activities strengthens the bond between man and dog, and travelling can be the ideal opportunity to do this, which is why many people prefer to keep their pet with them at all times, even on holiday. Dog owners need to be prepared and take their pet’s needs into account, so it is important to be aware of the conditions and services offered by pet-friendly hotels. If you are thinking of travelling with your four-legged friend and are looking for a pet-friendly hotel on the Costa Brava, you are welcome at our hotel.

Many people think that it is difficult to travel with dogs, leading them to believe that they will have to leave them at home. But, with a little extra planning, you can take your pet with you.

A good example of this is our hotel, Monterrey Roses, one of the hotels with sea views on the Costa Brava, where your pet is always welcome. Here are some details about staying with dogs at our hotel:

Having all the necessary information about costs and services at Hotel Monterrey Roses in advance will help you plan ahead and check if you can bring your pet with you.

Girona’s Costa Brava is a paradise to enjoy with your pet. Not only because it has some of the best dog-friendly beaches in Spain, but also because there are many restaurants and landmarks to visit that are 100% pet friendly. Here are a few recommendations:

• Dog beaches: La Rubina Dog Beach, one of the first dog beaches in Spain and a favourite with dog owners in Girona. Rec del Molí, with fine golden sand, is located in a natural setting of dunes and pine forests, just a five-minute walk from the ruins of L’Empúries.

• Pet-friendly restaurants: You can visit Sodemar restaurant or Sushi Wok. Dogs are always welcome and you will be invited to eat inside with your pet.

• Places to visit: Don’t miss the archaeological site of L’Empúries, which welcomes visitors with well-behaved dogs. Or the vast grounds of the Ciutadella de Roses, a must-see in Roses if you want to learn about local history alongside your pet. There is an archaeological site with a signposted itinerary that gives an idea of the different civilisations that have occupied the area through the ruins that can still be seen today. There is also a historical museum with archaeological remains and very interesting photographs.
