10 Dog friendly villas in South France with private pool
We have put together a list of the 10 best Dog-friendly villas with a private pool to rent in the South of France in summer 2023. This list of the private villas all have enclosed gardens and have good walking routes nearby, either along the beaches or out in the vineyards. We have previously rented these villas to customers with dogs and we have received good feedback on the suitability of the property from both the clients and the Owners.
It is not always easy to find holiday villas in France that are dog friendly. But at Go Languedoc, we have a good number of villa owners who do accept pets to stay. Here we have highlighted our most popular dog friendly villas to rent in South France. We have tried to highlight those villas with enclosed gardens and access to nice country walks or close to the beach. If you are planning on taking your summer holidays with your dogs in 2023, then please do contact us to find suitable rental accommodation for you and your pets.
In general, we find that dogs are tolerated much better in France than in other European countries we have visited. A lot of French holiday-makers will arrive with their dogs for a vacation and certainly in restaurants you are more likely to see diners with their pets in tow. Whilst certain beaches will restrict dogs during the summer, you can still find beaches where it is OK to walk your dog (this is a great list of Dog friendly beaches in Languedoc, France). Of course, in the Languedoc and Cote d'Azur regions you will also be able to find many lakes and rivers where dogs are allowed and I generally find that the general atmosphere towards pets is much more relaxed. This is a very useful guide written about visiting the French Riviera with dogs (French Riviera holidays with a dog), which has some great tips on where to go and where not to go.
10 Dog-friendly villas in France for summer 2023
I have compiled this list of pet friendly villas in South France based on customer feedback, knowing the property owners and also visiting the villas myself. Generally, I find that dog owners are looking for a decent sized garden (ideally with a large lawn), an enclosed perimeter to the property and easy access to country walks. Normally as a standard response, most of our villa owners will require that:
- dogs are not permitted on uncovered furniture
- some Owners (but not all) will request that dogs are not allowed in the bedrooms
- puppies may be accepted with travel insurance/additional security deposit
- all dog mess needs to be removed from the garden
- dogs are not permitted in the swimming pools
