The Italian hoteliers' association, Federalberghi, has launched two new websites www.pets-hotels.it and www.swimming-hotels.it. The first one being a directory of pet-friendly hotels in Italy, and the latter being a directory of hotels in Italy that allow pets in their swimming pool.

Unfortunately, you're going to have to brush-up on your Italiano, because the website speaks no Americano. But maybe you can find a translation tool.

Federalberghi says that it created the two sites because it believes that there is little information about pet-friendly hotels in Italy. The association goes on to note that one out of every three Italian hotels caters to pets.
