Hello Janet & StephenWe are soon to travel back to uk with the dog and hope not to have too many problems with Eurotunnel. We will have to keep an eye on their website, but forwarned....We too have an apartment overlooking Lake Trasimeno ( Passignano ) and have had it since last September after selling up in Crete where we had had a second home for nine years. We will probably do as you do, coming in spring and autumn. We did this in Crete so it is rather a pattern for us now. Driving to and fro passing through Italy we inevitably were seduced. So here we are.Ann & Richardps. are you near Zocco?

We have used many hotels in Italy over the past ten years and had no trouble with the dogs being accepted. Like others we have used Ibis and Novatel, but in more recent times have used the excellent site of Bookings.com which allows you to state preferences like parking or pets welcome. In fact have just returned today from a short stay on Lake Bolsena in a very good hotel which welcomed the dog and us and there was no extra charge for the dalmatian. By the way Ibis and Novatel charge for the dog.Good hunting.
