The breakfast room of La Dispensa, where your dog has breakfast with you in the reserved area

Here with your dog

Dogs are part of the family.

We are in the heart of Ferrara, facing Castello Estense, with a welcome designed for your dog too. Your dog sleeps with you in every room, has breakfast with you and finds a welcome kit waiting.

Here you will find everything you need to know before you leave: what the supplement includes and the house rules.

Welcome kit

«Happy Bowl».

On arrival, your dog finds in the room:

  • A mat
  • A foldable bowl
  • A pack of waste bags
  • A bone or dental snack
The «Happy Bowl» kit: box, red foldable bowl, bags and snack

€15 a day per dog

Why a supplement.

It is not a tax: it is respect for your dog, for the other guests and for the quality of the stay. Every stay with a dog calls for deeper cleaning and sanitisation. We would rather do it properly, every time.

What it includes

  • The «Happy Bowl» welcome kit
  • Extra cleaning every day
  • Thorough sanitisation at the end of the stay
  • Careful hair removal
  • Specific treatments for the guests who come after you, allergies included

House rules

So everyone feels at home.

Living together

  • On a leash in the common areas
  • Never alone in the room
  • While the room is cleaned, your dog stays with you, on a leash
  • Not on beds, armchairs, chairs or tables
  • No hotel towels or linen for your dog
  • Please help us avoid long barking

Liability

  • The hotel is not liable for illness, loss or accidents involving the dog
  • The owner is liable for damage to people, furnishings and the building
  • Any damage will be charged
