Good to know

tassa di soggiorno

In many Italian cities the hotel adds a tax for each night of your stay. It is usually paid at the reception desk, separately, and the amount changes from one municipality to another.

contanti

Cards are accepted almost everywhere, but some small places may set a limit or prefer cash. It's best to ask before you pay.

fattura

If you need a document for your company, ask for the fattura at check-out. A simple receipt is not enough for that purpose.

deposito bagagli

Many hotels keep your suitcase after check-out, usually at the reception desk. Ask first where they leave it and until what time.
