Italy has tens of thousands of choices all over the country, which come in all shapes and sizes from a small pensione to a seven-star hotel (the Seven Stars Galleria in Milan).
The traditional choice when visiting any new place is a hotel.
Room service is required at hotels of three stars or more.
Housekeeping is guaranteed once a day as well as an afternoon check on the room.
All three-, four- and five-star hotel rooms have telephone with direct external lines.
Two-star hotels must have phones in the rooms.
Linens are changed daily in four- and five-star hotels.
Three-star hotels change their linens three times a week; two-stars, twice a week.
One-star properties change linens at least once a week.
Italy Bed & Breakfasts
Just as in other countries, B&Bs in Italy usually offer an authentic local experience.
It is a chance to interact a bit more with the locals, as owners are usually very hands-on and generally live on-site.
Italy Villa and Apartment Rentals
Renting a villa or apartment is probably the best way to truly “live like an Italian” when you’re visiting Italy. This is a great choice for travelers who are a bit more independent and don’t need the hand-holding of a hotel staff or concierge (though many rental agencies and owners are happy to help out with logistics).

Planning a trip to Italy this year and looking for ways to save?
While traveling in Italy is usually more affordable than in other countries (we’re looking at you Sweden, Denmark, and Switzerland!), trip expenses can add up quickly.
This is especially true if you’re planning to visit the most popular destinations, like Rome, Venice, Florence, and Milan during the peak tourist season.
It’s no surprise that summer is the busiest tourist season in Italy.
If you want to book one of our favorite cheapo hotels, make sure to book as early as possible. For even better rates (and fewer crowds!), visit in the spring or fall.
For the absolute best deals, take your Italian holiday in winter.
Christmas in Italy is a treat, and Rome is especially beautiful this time of year and never gets too cold.
Large chain hotels are among the most expensive accommodation options in Italy.
These familiar brands usually come with lots of perks and a very high price.
Luckily for budget travelers, Italy is full of affordable hotels and pensions (family-run guesthouses) that not only offer low rates but also plenty of charm and character.
Visiting Italy is about more than just the big cities.
Think outside the Venice – Florence – Rome tourist corridor and try visiting smaller towns and villages, where everything, from hotels to restaurants, is far less expensive. Consider heading down south to the affordable Calabria region, the central Umbria region, or doing a an “agriturismo” farm stay.
