Dog Friendly

Dog-friendly is not a checkbox. It’s a philosophy.

BaBa Residences has always been a dog-friendly residence in Liguria, designed to welcome people and dogs as part of the same experience.

We do not believe in the concept of "pets allowed", but in a form of hospitality where dogs and people coexist in a natural, respectful, and harmonious way.

Set within a natural park of over 8 hectares, the resort has been designed to promote calm, balance, and well-being.

Open spaces, distances, silence, and contact with nature all contribute to creating what we call the energy of the place: a real, perceptible balance that dogs – thanks to their sensitivity – recognize immediately.

Why choose Alassio for a holiday with your dog

BaBa Residences is a 100% dog-friendly hotel and residence in Alassio, Liguria, designed for those who want to experience a true seaside holiday with their dog. Here, dogs are not simply allowed: they are part of the experience. From the sea-view apartments to the restaurant and the beach, dogs and humans live the holiday together, all year round.

  • Simple rules

    To preserve this harmony, we ask for a few simple common-sense rules: dogs cannot be left unattended in the apartments.

    We ask to limit barking as much as possible and to use a leash when necessary, always carrying waste bags with you.

  • Free to run

    Within the property, there are two areas dedicated to our friends.

    Designed to offer space, freedom, and privacy for those who wish to enjoy quiet moments with their dog, surrounded by greenery and away from the busier areas.

  • Dog-Friendly Beach Club

    Just 100 meters from the resort is BaBa Beach, our beach club, awarded in 2025 as the Best Dog-Friendly Beach Club in Italy.

    The beach features 40 dog-friendly spots and various solutions, from wooden terraces with water misters to sunbeds and beanbags by the sea. A dedicated discount is reserved for BaBa Residences guests.

  • BaBa Beach Restaurant

    The BaBa Beach restaurant is also dog-friendly, allowing guests to share every moment of the day without separation.

  • The free beach

    There is also an authorized free beach where dogs are allowed to swim.

  • Pet Welcome

    Upon arrival in the room, every dog is welcomed with a dedicated bowl.

    A few small gifts and a personalized welcome message with their name. A simple but sincere touch that tells the story of our way of being dog-friendly.

Every night here helps a dog there.

You will be pleased to know that the entire contribution of €15 per day for your dog's stay is donated to the dog welfare project we support: Takis Shelter Crete.

We invite you to visit their website and Instagram page to meet the dogs you are helping with your holiday. In this way, your four-legged friend will lend a paw to those who are less fortunate.
