Cultural Tip

In Italy, 'cabina singola' usually refers to a room for one person, but many hotels also offer 'camera singola' (single room) which may be slightly larger. When booking, clarify whether the price includes breakfast, as this varies by region. In train travel, 'cabina singola' can mean a private compartment for one passenger, which is common on long‑distance routes.
