They seem to already know that a little paradise awaits them here, one built just for them. Big ones, small ones, timid ones curled up in their owner&#8217;s arms, or bold ones tugging at the leash to get there faster. Here, every dog is welcome. They get to enjoy the summer alongside their family in a space designed with them in mind: the Bau Beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dogs relax under the umbrella, roll happily in the sand, and soak up the sun beside their companions. Like Olimpo, a five-year-old Maltese, a guest at the Bau Beach for a few days. He spent a good part of the afternoon stretched out at full length on his mum&#8217;s sunbed, while she was having fun with the children in the pool nearby. His dad, on the sunbed beside him, was happily lost in a good book. &#8220;Olimpo doesn&#8217;t really get along with other dogs, so this works out perfectly. He has a great time and so do we,&#8221; his owner explains. For the family, bringing little Olimpo on holiday was non-negotiable, so they did not hesitate for a moment to book at the Bau Beach. &#8220;We are very happy,&#8221; they say, stroking their little dog.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"767\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altamareabeachvillage.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_8747-1024x767.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6444\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.3350762527233115;width:766px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.altamareabeachvillage.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_8747-1024x767.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.altamareabeachvillage.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_8747-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.altamareabeachvillage.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_8747-768x575.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.altamareabeachvillage.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_8747.jpg 1242w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Fresh water bowls always topped up, dedicated showers, toys, and one more surprise: the Bau Garden, a shaded and well-kept garden just a few steps from the beach, open to all. Here, dogs can run free and play together. A green space, perfect during the hottest hours of the day or for a peaceful stroll at the end of the afternoon. &#8220;How lovely!&#8221; exclaim Ciuchino&#8217;s owners, bright and smiling. &#8220;We&#8217;ll take him for a spin later!&#8221; They have just arrived at the Bau Beach and are already won over. &#8220;We feel so much more at ease knowing other dogs can&#8217;t come up to him, and off the leash he is so much freer. He has everything he needs here, and so do we. We are happy!&#8221; says the couple, clearly head over heels for their little dog. Ciuchino digs in the sand, leaps from one sunbed to the next, and never misses a chance to cuddle his humans.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altamareabeachvillage.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_8636-768x1024-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6448\" style=\"width:372px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.altamareabeachvillage.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_8636-768x1024-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.altamareabeachvillage.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_8636-768x1024-1-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>At Altamarea, every day is dedicated to dogs, but Fridays have a special flavour of their own: that is when Riccardo arrives with his team of canine educators from the centre &#8220;Io mi fido di te&#8221; (&#8220;I trust you&#8221;). The little square is always packed with owners, dogs and curious onlookers. It is a moment for advice and conversation about improving the bond between dog and human, about behaviour, and about all things dog-related, always with a light touch and plenty of humour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Altamarea welcomes, listens to, and respects every guest, and our four-legged friends, with sand between their paws and sunshine on their snouts, get to soak up the summer right alongside us.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altamareabeachvillage.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_7123-768x576-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6452\" style=\"width:636px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.altamareabeachvillage.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_7123-768x576-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.altamareabeachvillage.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_7123-768x576-1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dogs arrive at Altamarea with a proud stride and a tail held high.
