Airbnb Reveals Top Pet-Friendly Stays Around The World

From an elegantly restored riad in Marrakesh to a treehouse in Tuscany, your next pet-friendly getaway has never looked better.

We now find ourselves in the midst of a major pet-adoption boom here in the U.S, and as travelers continue to bookmark and plan for their post-pandemic getaway, ‘pet-friendly’ accommodations have become more of a priority than ever.

According to recently released data by the home-sharing site AirBnb, searches utilizing the ‘allows pets’ filter has increased 65% since January 2021 compared to the same time period last year. To help inspire future travel plans, Airbnb has since teamed up with Dr. Kate Bruce, a Brisbane, Australia-based veterinarian to share some helpful tips for travelers and their pets based on the most wish-listed, pet-friendly stays available on Airbnb. 

For travelers eager to plan your next pet-friendly getaway, from an 18th century farmhouse in Puglia, Italy to a Cycladic-style cave home in Oia, Greece and a cozy palace in Marrakech, Morocco, here’s a look at Airbnb’s top wish-listed homes along with vet-approved tips to help get you started.

18th Century Farmhouse – Puglia, Italy

Dating back to the 1800’s and set amongst the quiet Italian farms found in the Itria Valley in Puglia, Italy, Trullo del 1800 offers plenty of space for you and your furry friends. From the sumptuous outdoor courtyard to the wide-open fields and warm fireplace to relax by at the end of the day, this charming abode offers three-bedrooms and lots of room to roam. “Just make sure to bring your pet’s favorite bed to avoid any little accidents on the crisp white linen, and remember to give them something familiar and comforting that smell,” Dr. Kate Bruce said.

The Cozy Palace – Marrakesh, Morocco

Marrakesh, Morocco is a destination that’s high on the list for many travelers, and now it’s more accessible than ever for those traveling with pets thanks to this Cozy Pet-Friendly Palace tucked away in the heart of the Medina .

“Dogs require a little bit of calm and relaxation every now and then, just as much as humans do,” Dr. Bruce said. “This Moroccan beauty will let your dog rest on the cool tiles among the gentle shadows, or stretch their legs between the banana trees in the courtyard.”

 Cycladic Cave House – Oia, Greece

Complete with an open terrace, ideal for lazy naps and soaking up some rays, both you and your dog will love this Unique Architecture Cave House in Oia, Greece.
