Pets have become part of many people's families — it's no wonder that
multi-species homes are a trend in the housing world — and, with an eye on this behavior, the hotel market has also been adapting. There is a high demand for accommodations that accept dogs and even cats so that their owners can enjoy their vacations with their pets. However, it's not enough to just accept pets; you need to guarantee freedom and special care for them so that the
hotel or
guesthouse is considered
pet-friendly , as we show in the following selection!
1. Gaia Viva Inn |
The
Gaia Viva guesthouse is known as a paradise for dogs and their human pets. This is because every detail of the place was designed with the fun and well-being of furry friends in mind. Located in Igaratá, 85 kilometers from São Paulo, Gaia Viva only welcomes humans accompanied by dogs, who can roam free and roam everywhere. Completely fenced and safe, the guesthouse was designed for total relaxation and its main attraction is a
swimming pool where dogs and humans can have fun together. In addition, the tutors'
meals are included in the daily rates and are a separate chapter: breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack and dinner with all items specially produced by the Gaia Viva team and a varied menu that caters to all types of diets and dietary restrictions.

2. Footprint of the Jaguar Inn | Tapiraí, SP
For those who want to spend some quiet days and immerse themselves in nature with their pet, Pousada Pegada da Onça may be a good option. Before becoming a guesthouse, the place was home to a farm and, therefore, it is isolated and peaceful , in the middle of the Atlantic Forest, surrounded by a dam that comes from several mineral water mines in the region. Therefore, all water used at the inn is drinkable and natural, including that used in the shower and the pool. In addition to the dam, there are other leisure options, such as waterfalls, trails, sauna, games room, deck and gym. Pets are allowed in the restaurant, cold pool, dam and waterfall, and the inn has no restrictions on size or breed. 3. Villa Aye | Socorro, SP
