Bed & breakfast is a form of hospitality which includes overnight and breakfast in a private home and is quite common in UK, Ireland, United States and Australia.

For a few years the bed & breakfast formula is having a lot of success also in Italy.

It applies to who is aiming to get in direct touch with the culture and local traditions and represents a perfect tool to human and cultural enrichment.

Choosing this formula, tourists and travellers have the possibility - besides the economical savings - to find shelter, familiarity, quiet and peace, things that are often missing in the hotel business.

Usually private homes offer a maximum of 3 rooms with private - or common bathroom.
The living room is very often shared by the owners with the guests while the kitchen is normally accessible to the owners only.
The breakfast is rich and often served following the local tradition.
