Fattoria Maremmana

If your definition of “real pet-friendly” includes purpose-built canine facilities, Fattoria Maremmana is hard to beat. This family-run country resort lays out five swimming pools including a dedicated dog pool, plus a dog wash/shower area to rinse off after play.

The flat, low-traffic grounds between Grosseto and the coast give you fenced runs, lawns, and ample walking loops straight from your cottage or apartment—many with private garden space that makes life with pets effortless. Bowls and basic accessories are available, dogs are welcome in most outdoor common areas, and staff can point you to nearby dog beaches, wooded trails, and countryside tracks.

For humans, the mood is relaxed: suites and studios with patios and hammocks, BBQs, and poolside corners encourage long, do-nothing afternoons; there’s a simple restaurant, bikes to borrow, and a small wellness offer.

Pricing is transparent for pets and—crucially—the infrastructure means you’re not improvising: animals can cool off, clean up, and settle down without stress. It’s a pragmatic, sunshine-and-greenery base that puts the dog’s holiday first while keeping everyone else comfortable.
