Pets are welcome at Villa Campestri Olive Oil Resort!

Pets are welcome at Villa Campestri Olive Oil Resort! Charles Darwin considered empathy and compassion with small animals one of the most noble attributes we have, and here at Villa Campestri Olive Oil Resort we can only agree. We have our own pets; yours are welcome too. Our resort has been created with a philosophy, that of man’s link with the natural world.  And part of nature’s world are our pets.  When you come to Villa Campestri Olive Oil Resort you can share with them the beautiful environment we offer here.At the Villa, your pets can share every space, to be at liberty and run about freely.  Our park seems to be made for them and for their romps and curiosity; they are free to follow you to every angle of the grounds and the villa and to accompany you without worry or restraint in the exploration of our natural areas.  And, when  you arrive to your welcoming cocktail, we have one for your pet as well, a delicious little morsel to chew on.

Shakespeare said it best: love and respect for our faithful little animals is as strong a love as for nature’s gods, a sign of the highest nobility of our souls.  Perhaps they cannot speak to us but we should understand them and treat them as they deserve.  From them we can build character, learn to respect others in a responsible and mature way.  At Villa Campestri we take this respect seriously and offer unconditional friendship, true and sincere, to the pets of our guests.
