If you're planning a holiday in the beautiful town of Alghero, in the north-west of the island, the Torre del Porticciolo Village-Campsite is the ideal choice for spending time outdoors with your four-legged friend, without compromise.
Why Choose a Pet-Friendly Campsite in Sardinia
In recent years, the concept of vacation has evolved: more and more people want to share every moment with their pets. Sardinia, with its wide open spaces, unspoiled beaches, and protected natural areas, is one of the most sought-after destinations for those traveling with animals.
A pet-friendly campsite typically offers accommodation and housing solutions suitable for dogs and cats, access to green areas and nature trails, specific services such as pet showers, bowls, shaded zones, and clear rules to ensure harmony between guests with and without animals.
The Torre del Porticciolo Village-Campsite, located in the heart of the Porto Conte Regional Natural Park, combines all of this with an enchanting location just minutes from the sea.
Torre del Porticciolo: A Holiday Tailored for Pets
Warm Welcome and Freedom for Your Furry Friends
At Torre del Porticciolo, pets are welcome throughout the camping area. Your four-legged companions can join you during the most enjoyable moments of your holiday, in a green and relaxing environment that is perfect for both of you.
At the campsite, guests can stay with their pets on pitches for tents, caravans, or campers, enjoying the shade of the pine forest just a short walk from the sea. Walks along the park trails and excursions in the surrounding nature will be unforgettable experiences to share.
For those who choose the Village formula for their holiday in Sardinia, pets are allowed only in certain types of accommodation, such as Bungalows, Chalets, and Deluxe units. If you'd like a recommendation, our bungalows remain the ideal solution for a holiday with your dog or cat, as they are just steps from the sea, surrounded by nature, and equipped with all the comforts you and your furry friends might need.
A small tip: the facility is constantly evolving. To check the availability of pet-friendly accommodations, we recommend visiting our website regularly or contacting the reception directly at the time of booking.
New in 2025: Starting this year, thanks to a partnership with EuroVet, our village market will offer everything you need for your pet’s health and well-being: collars, creams, anti-parasitic treatments, pet food, and various accessories. Everything you need, right on-site!
Services and Rules for Guests Traveling with Pets
✔️ Pets must be declared in advance at the time of booking.
✔️ Animals must always be kept on a leash, and owners are responsible for cleaning up after them. Pets may not be left unattended on the pitches. Waste bags and cleaning tools must always be available to the owner.
✔️ Our four-legged friends are allowed on the bar and restaurant terrace (covered outdoor terrace), but not in other common areas and always with respect for other guests.
✔️ Pets must be up to date with vaccinations and health treatments, and owners must carry relevant documentation.
The beach in front of the village campsite is not officially designated as a Dog Beach, but it is frequently visited by both external visitors and our guests with pets. As a general rule, they usually stay in quieter, more secluded areas to avoid disturbing other beachgoers.
Lastly, please note that since the campsite is located within a natural park, there are many small paths and open areas where dogs can run and play freely and safely.
Guide to a Holiday in Sardinia with Your Pet
Traveling with your dog or cat requires a bit of extra preparation. Here’s a practical guide to help you make the most of your pet-friendly vacation:
1. Preparing for the Trip
Bring your pet's updated health booklet with valid vaccinations.
If you're traveling by ferry, check the company's regulations for transporting animals (leash, muzzle, or pet carrier may be required).
Pack a travel kit: leash, bowls, regular food, waste bags, and any necessary medications.
2. At the Campsite
Let your pet gradually get used to shared spaces.
Be respectful of other guests, especially those not accustomed to animals.
Choose less crowded times for walks and play sessions.
3. At the Beach and in Nature
Check which nearby beaches are dog-friendly (some areas near Porto Ferro and Porto Palmas, not far from Alghero, are accessible to dogs).
Always bring fresh water to prevent heatstroke.
When hiking on trails, use anti-parasitic treatments and check for ticks or grass awns afterwards.
Where to Go with Your Dog Around Alghero
Northwestern Sardinia offers plenty of trails and destinations to explore with your pet:
- The trails of the Porto Conte Park, some of which start right near the campsite. These are mostly easy-level paths, accessible even with dogs on a leash.
- The area of Capo Caccia and Cala della Barca, stunning at sunset and perfect for walks through the Mediterranean scrub.
- The scenic bastions and seafront promenade of Alghero, ideal for a city stroll.
- Nearby beaches: just a short distance from our Village is Porto Ferro dog beach, an unspoiled and stunning location, perfect for long walks or a refreshing swim with your dog. Maria Pia beach, close to Alghero town, also has a stretch where dogs are allowed. We recommend checking with the campsite staff at the beginning of the season to confirm which beach areas are accessible to dogs.
