No Weight LimitLa Gemma Dog Friendly Review
La Gemma holds a respectable B Roch Rank, and for dog owners visiting Florence it offers a genuinely welcoming base. All of its rooms are dog friendly, with no weight or size restrictions, so dogs of any breed or build are accepted without question. Dogs are welcome in the bar, on the terrace and in the lounge, meaning your dog can join you for much of the hotel's social life rather than being confined to the room. Being in the city centre also puts you near open squares and scenic walking paths along the nearby river, ideal for daily walks.
Inside the room you will find a dog bed, along with food and water bowls provided so there is no need to pack your own, and a toy is also supplied for your dog's amusement. The hotel gives guests plastic bags for cleaning up on walks, and staff can arrange grooming services during your stay. There is a charge of €35 per night for your dog, with no damage deposit required, which feels fair given the range of amenities included. Only one dog per room is permitted, so travelling with multiple dogs will mean booking more than one room.
The main restriction to plan around is that dogs cannot be left unattended in the room, so your dog will need to accompany you or be looked after elsewhere during the day. There is no garden, dedicated dog space, dog wash area or dog-walking service, and the restaurant is off limits to dogs, so this is not a hotel built around extensive dog facilities on site. This suits an owner who wants a central, sociable stay with a well cared for dog by their side at all times, rather than one who needs their dog entertained independently or wants green space on the doorstep. Owners who cannot keep their dog with them throughout the day, or who want a garden, should look elsewhere.
