Hotels and Boutique Hotels
Compare room categories, service hours and the facilities included in the rate. A boutique label alone does not confirm particular amenities.
B&Bs and Guesthouses
Smaller stays can suit a city or local base. Check breakfast arrangements, reception hours and how to collect keys.
Apartments and Villas
Consider space and independence alongside the full cost. Confirm the kitchen equipment you need, cleaning fees, deposits, utility limits, minimum stays and house rules.
Agriturismo Stays
Farm stays offer a countryside setting. Check access and transport, and ask which meals, produce or activities are actually offered.
Albergo Diffuso
This model places rooms or apartments in different buildings with a shared reception. Confirm the location of your room, check-in route and available services.
Check Before Booking
Location, Transport and Parking
Compare arrival routes and connections for your itinerary, including airport or ferry transfers. Confirm whether parking is available, reservable and charged. If access is restricted, check the permitted route and any required arrangements before driving; a booking alone does not establish permission.
Total Cost and Cancellation
Check the final total and what is paid separately: local charges, cleaning fees, deposits and utility limits where applicable. Read payment timing, cancellation deadlines, refund rules and minimum stays. Compare flexible and non-refundable conditions on their own terms.
Check-in and Luggage
Confirm reception hours, key collection and any late-arrival charge. Ask whether luggage storage is available before check-in or after check-out; make arrangements in advance.
Air-conditioning, Lifts and Accessibility
Confirm air-conditioning and its operating arrangements. Ask about the route from the entrance to the room, stairs, lift access, step-free areas and bathroom facilities that meet your needs.
Family Needs and Cots
Check room capacity, bed arrangements and child-related charges. Confirm cot availability, suitability and any fee directly with the property before booking.
Pets
Ask whether your pet is accepted, and check size or number limits, charges and rules for shared areas. Do not assume a pet-friendly filter covers every requirement.
Wi-Fi and Working Requirements
Ask about Wi-Fi in the room and the connection you need for work. Confirm a suitable workspace if required; location alone does not establish connection quality.
Breakfast, Kitchens and House Rules
Read what the selected rate includes and ask about breakfast hours or dietary needs. Confirm kitchen equipment, pool access if offered, quiet hours and other rules relevant to your stay.
