In most parts of Tuscany there is a compulsory hotel occupancy tax (
tassa di soggiorno
)
that is charged on top of your regular hotel bill and must generally be paid in cash. The
exact amount depends on the type of place you stay in and the time of year, but as a
rough guide expect to pay €1 per person per night in a one-star hotel or hostel, €2 in a
B&B, €2 to €3 in a three-star hotel and €4 to €5 in a four- or five-star hotel.
