How TrustPaws verifies a hotel
A TrustPaws badge means we’ve checked more than a “pets allowed” box. For every certified hotel, we verify:
- The real pet policy and any fees — exactly what you’ll pay, with no surprises at check-in.
- Which room types pets can actually stay in.
- The welcome amenities genuinely provided — beds, bowls, treats, kits.
- How genuinely the staff and grounds are set up for animals.
If a hotel hasn’t met the standard, it isn’t certified — simple as that.
Getting to & around Como with a dog
Como has two railway stations — Como S. Giovanni on the Milan–Chiasso main line and Como Nord Lago right by the lake — so arriving car-free with a dog is simple. From the lakefront jetties, Navigazione Laghi ferries and catamarans take dogs (not the fast hydrofoils, unless a small dog or cat travels in a carrier on your lap): fixed lead of max 1.5 m, muzzle to hand, small dogs under 50 cm at the withers free, larger dogs at the reduced route fare. The Como–Brunate funicular is dog-friendly too — muzzle required, small dogs carried for about €1.05 and larger dogs about €1.85 per trip — and lifts you to the balcony village of Brunate in seven minutes.
Best walks & places for dogs near Como
The classic walk is the flat lakefront passeggiata from Piazza Cavour past the Tempio Voltiano to the gardens of Villa Olmo — leashed dogs are welcome in the public park areas. For height and views, ride the funicular to Brunate and walk up to the Volta Lighthouse at San Maurizio; the paths are quiet outside summer weekends. In town, keep to the pedestrian old town in the cooler hours — stone lanes, shady arcades and plenty of café terraces that will bring your dog a bowl of water before you ask.
Frequently asked questions

Yes. Dogs are admitted with a muzzle: small dogs carried travel for about €1.05, larger dogs for about €1.85 per trip; guide dogs travel free. Check funicolarecomo.it for current fares.
Do hotels in Como charge a pet fee?
It varies — some welcome pets free of charge, others apply a nightly fee. Every TrustPaws listing states the hotel’s exact, verified pet policy and fee before you book.
Is there a dog beach in Como?
Como city has no equipped dog beach; the only dedicated dog beach on the lake’s eastern branch is Bau Bau Beach at Olivedo (Varenna). In town, walk the lakefront promenade and the Villa Olmo park instead, and check local signage on any free shore stretch.
