Sanremo is the flower-growing capital of the Italian Riviera in Liguria's province of Imperia, a genial, flat-fronted resort of palm promenades and one of Italy's mildest climates, easygoing with a dog outdoors even where the Casino and church interiors are not: leashed dogs walk the seafront Corso Imperatrice, ride the long Pista Ciclabile coastal path on the old Genoa-Ventimiglia railway, and reach a designated dog beach, while the summer stabilimenti restrict dogs on the paid sand. With 8 handpicked dog-friendly properties on this list, you'll find options from budget boutiques to five-star suites. All confirmed to welcome your dog without the usual stress of hidden restrictions.
What makes Sanremo special for dog owners is the infrastructure beyond the hotel room: the flat, 24 km Pista Ciclabile del Parco Costiero Riviera dei Fiori on the former coastal railway, the palm-lined Corso Imperatrice promenade, the exotic Giardini di Villa Ormond, the medieval La Pigna old town, and the free Pian di Poma dog beach with the Baubeach dog beach at nearby Arma di Taggia are all within easy reach of the properties below. In the flat seafront and Corso Imperatrice, the Porto Vecchio and Portosole marina with the Piazza Bresca restaurant square behind it, the hillside La Pigna old town, and the neighbouring Riviera dei Fiori towns of Ospedaletti, Bordighera, Arma di Taggia and San Lorenzo al Mare along the cycle path, dogs are part of everyday life, and the hotels listed here are chosen precisely because they embrace that culture rather than merely tolerating it.
