Accettate animali domestici?

Do you accept pets?

Pronunciation

'Domestici' — stress the second syllable: 'do-MES-ti-ci'. 'Animali' — 'a-ni-MA-li'.

When to use it

Ask before booking or at check-in if you are travelling with a pet. Pet policies vary widely between Italian hotels.

What it means

'Accettate' (you accept) is the second-person plural of 'accettare'. 'Animali domestici' = domestic animals/pets. A pet fee ('supplemento animali') is common. Dogs are the most common pets in Italian hotels.

Mini Dialogue

Do you accept pets? Yes, we accept dogs up to ten kilos. I have a Labrador — is that too large? Unfortunately yes, our limit is ten kilos.

Cultural Note

Italians are very fond of dogs (cani) and 'pet-friendly' hotels are increasingly common. However, size and breed restrictions apply. In Italian cities, dogs must be on a leash in public spaces and owners must carry bags for waste. Many bars and restaurants allow small dogs inside — a uniquely Italian hospitality touch.
