Buonasera ElisabettaMany thanks for responding! I've been researching where I can but advice from someone already in the business would be most welcome!I'm trying now to clarify three main points:1. How many rooms can I have - this will be a full time business so not under the B&B "occasional" set-up. More like a hotel but not a hotel, if you know what I mean. 2. Categories - L'Affitacamere/B&B/Residence - any implication of each for what can be delivered? Tax implications?3. Food Service - I read a lot about not being able to provide anything other than pre-packaged food for breakfast, but my partner would like to be able to cook occasional meals for guests as we're both big italian foodies and love to cook. Can we do this? Any regulations we need to follow?Many thanks!Steve
Dear NicholasMany thanks for your advice. I have this week trawled the Piemonte website and did manage to find the info you've suggested but was taking a while to Google-Translate the pages but got there in the end (my Italian needs a lot of improvement!). But that said, its good to hear from you to confirm what I thought I was finding out re affittacamere and so on as I was aware of the basic B&B restrictions and the reasons for it.Thanks again for taking the time to respond and for the additional tips and advice - its much apprecated. CheersSteve
Many thanks Ronco. Always happy to chat with anyone in the industry so if they're moving to the region to open a B&B and are willing to advise on any pitfalls I'd of course welcome it - but conscious I may at some point potentially be a competitor! Thanks again.
Thanks Ronco for your time. Yes, there are many variations out there as I'm finding! I believe I CAN operate a B&B with more rooms, but then would need to be taxed as a normal business, rather than just operate it for supplementary income. I'm still researching to get better clarity and will look at the links you suggest.Thanks again!
