Cultural tip You’ll find that the price of rooms varies
according to the season, especially in tourist resorts. The
highest prices are charged during the high season (l’alta
stagione). Accommodation is generally much cheaper
in the low season (la bassa stagione). It’s a good idea
to check before you book.
