by Holly Maguire August 12, 2009, 11:33 am

No true animal lover would head off on vacation leaving the big sad brown eyes and devastated floppy tail of their dog behind. We’ve sniffed out the Top 10 dog friendly Escapio hotels where the most pampered of pooches and hard-to-please hounds will be guaranteed a holiday heaven – far, far from the usual kennels!

1. Hotel Aire de Ruesga, Cantabria, Spain.
Possibly the ultimate dog lovers’ hotel – man’s best friend is “very, VERY” welcome here, according to Escapio Scout Ana, who managed to track down hotel owner Josu. Josu has three dogs of his own and claims Hotel Aire de Ruesga is a doggy heaven – human children, however, must be 8 years and over.

2. Villa Marina Capri Hotel und Spa, Capri (Napoli), Italy.
Stylish design hotel and relaxing spa, great for coastal dog walking.

3. Hotel Chateau de la Commanderie, Grenoble, France.
This country house near beautiful Grenoble has acres of parkland, perfect for cultured canines to stretch their legs.

4. Hotel Hacienda La Herriza, Andalusia, Spain.
For a small 15€ supplement, this friendly hotel near Ronda welcomes pets “small and large” (to a certain extent, presumably…).

5. Hotel Schloss Burgellern, Bavaria, Germany.
Enchanting castle hotel with great reputation for a delicious Franconian-style Sunday dinner… hungry hounds can look forward to the leftovers!

6. Hotel Gut Gremmelin, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany.
Family run, pet loving hotel in one of Germany’s favourite domestic countryside destinations.

7. Hotel Le Fontanelle Spa, Siena, Italy.
The apartments with gardens in the Chianti region provide loads of space for wine lovers with lively pooches.

8. Son Manera, Montuiri, Majorca, Spain.
Doggies below the 5kg limit are invited to stay for free.

9. Hotel Les Deux Tours, Marrakech, Morocco.
