Cultural Tip

In most Italian hotels, Wi‑Fi is offered but the quality and price can vary by region. In big cities and tourist hotspots the connection is usually free, while in smaller towns it may be paid or limited to the lobby. When asking, adding a polite "per favore" or "mi scusi" can make the request sound more courteous. Also, remember that the password is often printed on a card or displayed on the TV screen.
