Why Casa Rosanna works for travellers with dogs
At Casa Rosanna dogs of all sizes are welcome guests and pay no surcharge. The house is detached and has an enclosed outdoor space: for anyone travelling with a dog, especially a large one, those are the two things that make the difference.
- Fenced courtyard with a mesh-lined gate: your dog cannot wander off.
- Shaded patio under the bougainvillea, cool in the hot hours.
- Outdoor shower to rinse your dog after the sea, before going indoors.
- Detached house with private entrance: no shared stairwells or lifts.
- Free private parking beside the house, handy for loading and unloading.

Dogs on the beach in Budoni: what to know
In Sardinia, whether dogs may use a beach is set each year by each municipality’s beach ordinance, and the rules can change from season to season. Before heading to the beach with your dog, check the current ordinance of the Municipality of Budoni (or the town you are visiting), or ask us when you book.
On the hottest days always bring fresh water and a bowl, look for shade and avoid midday: the sand can burn paws.
Getting to Sardinia with your dog
Olbia Costa Smeralda airport is 29 km away, about 30 minutes by car; Olbia’s ferry port, where boats from the mainland arrive, is in the same area. Pet transport conditions differ between airlines and ferry companies, so check them directly with your carrier when you book.
Once here, a car is handy for day trips, but around the house everything is within walking distance.
