Pet Holidays

Are you a nature lover who derives their energy from being surrounded by woods, sea, hills, lakes, and rivers? Then you’ve probably been on more than one nature-based holiday. We can all agree that going on a vacation in a natural location is one of the best things you can do with your free time.

Bringing your pet along on a holiday? Yes, please!

However, for many people who love going to natural locations for their holiday, it is a challenge to bring along their pets. Dogs are man’s best friend but why is it so hard to temporarily rent a place for you and your best friend? Why is taking some time off with your dog such a big deal? It’s no different for cat owners that like to hike with their cats. Breeds such as the Bengal cat must spend a lot of time outside but often that’s impossible due to accommodation restrictions.

If you’re looking for places to stay with the smallest members of your family, then we have good news for you. Nature.house offers accommodations in natural locations and the best thing is you can bring along your fluffball. No more searching for the perfect place. No more wondering who you’ll leave your pet to when you want to go away for some time. Forget all that and just enjoy a nice holiday with your pet.

Where can you go on a holiday with your pet?

The quick answer to that question is ‘it’s up to you to decide’. But let us elaborate. Nature.house offers accommodation anywhere in Europe. From the wilderness of Scandinavia to the coastline of Southern Italy - we have it all. Europe might be the smallest continent in the world but it’s definitely one of the most beautiful in terms of natural beauty.

If you want to explore virgin beaches then you might enjoy a holiday with your pet in the Portuguese region of the Algarve. It’s home to 4 national parks each of which uncovers magnificent natural sights. Algarve has been rated as one of the best destinations for nature lovers, as it gives you the chance to appreciate the tranquility and beauty of the rural area. Another great coastline area is the west part of Italy. The natural sights of Italy will take your breath away as their natural environments, make the country an alluring destination for visitors who appreciate unspoiled nature.

However, if you prefer to spend some time with your pet in the woods, then you won’t be disappointed either. The Alps are located in Central Europe and it’s one of the most magnificent mountain chains in the world. Nature.house offers huts, chalets, and houses in the French, Italian and Austrian parts of the Alps perfect for a vacation with your pet. Also, Scandinavia, and more specifically Norway and Sweden are great places for mountain lovers. However, make sure to book a longer holiday there, since you don’t want to miss anything from this large territory. Well, the location of your holiday also depends on the weather conditions. So what kind of weather should you prepare for during your vacation with your pet? Let’s find out.

What weather should you prepare for?

Europe has 4 seasons, but the weather varies in the different parts of the continent. If you want to have a winter holiday with your pet, surrounded by snowy peaks and breathtaking views, then you might want to consider booking a holiday in Norway. In the winter, the temperatures of Scandinavia often go below zero, but it’s worth it since during that time you might witness the Northern Lights.

Nevertheless, if you still need to take some time off during the winter but you’re not a fan of the great white north, then you will like a Spanish getaway. The winters in Spain are mild with average temperatures of 18 degrees. Sounds great right? Another great spot for escaping the freezing winters is southern Italy. There you can explore the local mountains even in January.

Summers in southern Europe could get quite hot. From June until early September the temperatures are usually higher than 30 degrees but that makes it perfect for exploring the local virgin beaches. If you decide to visit Croatia, for example, in the summer you should know that the seawater is warm but the weather conditions especially midday are incredibly hot. If you’re seeking ways to escape the summer heat in the south, then you might enjoy staying in Belgium or in the Netherlands. Those countries usually have mild summers with average temperatures of 23 degrees. It will be more comfortable for your pet to stay under the shadow as well.

Staying active with your pet on a holiday

If you’re not convinced already that a holiday with your pet is the way to go if you have some time off, let’s explore some options on what you can do. Some people enjoy a more calm vacation, in which case simply walking around your accommodation could be enough. The natural beauty that uncovers before your eyes could be enough for you to recharge and reconnect with nature,

But if you want to challenge your body then you might enjoy some water sports in the summer. Diving is a very popular activity in Croatia as the seawater is incredibly clear. Windsurfing is great in Portugal as the country is rather windy and it creates a great environment for such sports.

The mountain areas of Austria, and more specifically the Alpine region, are great for hiking. Keep in mind that if you bring along your pet you should consider how challenging the woods can be. If you’re on a holiday with a small dog or a cat it could be harder for them to roam around the mountains. Also, in the winter you can do some winter sports there. Skiing and snowboarding are popular in any mountain territory in Europe, especially in Scandinavia and in the Alps. There are countless options to what you can do during your holiday with a pet. Just choose your location and let nature.house do the rest.
