Do you accept animals?
'Accettate' — stress the third syllable: 'ac-cet-TA-te'. Short and clear.
Ask before booking if you are travelling with a pet. Many Italian hotels are pet-friendly but have size or breed restrictions.
'Animali' (animals/pets) is the short form — 'animali domestici' (domestic animals) or 'animali da compagnia' (companion animals) are more precise. 'Accettate' (do you accept) is the correct verb for policies.

Italians love dogs (cani). Many hotels, restaurants, and shops welcome small dogs. In Italian parks and public spaces, dogs must be on a leash. 'Vietato l'accesso agli animali' (no animals allowed) signs are becoming less common in tourist areas.
