Hello, taxes 48 euro is per person and day, or summarry for stay?
City tax is 4,00 euro per person per day.Answered on 30 October 2019Buona sera. If we book with you, we can enter and park inside the ZTL, right?
Buongiorno, l'unico in grado di annullare la sanzione relativa all'ingresso in ZTL è il Garage, ammesso che parcheggiate lì. Noi vi possiamo suggerire il Garage Europa, 20€/24h. Il prezzo dovuto al garage per l'annullamento della sanzione è di 1€.Answered on 19 August 2022Ciao! My dad Luke Slattery is staying with you from the 12-16th of June, would he be able to change his booking from double to two singles?
Hello, Unfortunately he cannot change the room from double to single because the singleroom is already booked. Remain at your disposal for further information. Regards, EduinaAnswered on 3 May 2023we are travelling by folding bicycle (not e-bike) Do you have secure storage for bicycles?
Purtroppo nel nostro piccolo albergo, oltre al deposito valigie, non abbiamo altri spazi utili. Poi dipende dalla tipologia di camera che prenotate, alcune camere non sono abbastanza grandi per contenere delle bici, si rischia di macchiare il muro.Answered on 13 September 2022
