at least three days. They include room and board (breakfast,
lunch and dinner, exclusive of drinks), service and VAT. Prices
are subject to changes according to the category of the hotel
and the season.
High and low prices are charged according to the season, the
type of room (wideness, fittings and services), its position
(facing the see or otherwise), number of persons and length of
stay. Reductions and easy terms are provided for families with
children - as long as they occupy a room together with two adults
for groups and stays of long duration.

look up the list of the rooms and its rates displayed, by law,
in a visible place usually the reception and to confirm
the terms required with the management. Prices are usually inclusive
of breakfast and are not subjected to seasonal changes.
- In the case
a double room is given to a single person, the price cannot exceed
the maximum rate applied for a double room.
- In the case a guest requests an additional bed in a single
or double room, the price cannot exceed a 35 percent increase
in the normal charge (according to the decree no. 160 issued
by the President of Marches Regional Council on 23rd September
1998, art. 2).
For obvious
reasons the Tourist Board of Gabicce and the Tourist Information
Point cannot recommend individual hotels.
Reservations
are valid only if they are made and confirmed in writing. They
can be made directly to the managements of the selected hotels
or through local travel agencies or the Hotelier Cooperative.
In order to
avoid any misunderstanding or objection it is advisable to have
clearly defined in writing - the price "all inclusive",
stating clearly the period of stay and the services required.
TOURISM
PRACTICES
(Collection
Of Practices In The Province, published by the Chamber of Commerce,
Industry, Handicraft and Agriculture of the Province of Pesaro,
approved with resolution no. 378 on 19th November 1992).
1. Booking
without deposit
Booking for lodging implies that the client begins his stay by
occupying the room assigned to him within 01:00 a.m. of the day
after the one specified in the reservation.
The booking related to full board implies that the client begins his
stay within 24 ours after the day specified in the reservation.
After that, he will have to pay for the services reserved but not
used.
If the client do not arrive and did not confirm the reservation,
this one will be cancelled and the hotelkeeper will be free of
obligations toward the client.
2. Deposit
The deposit is a document that confirms the booking and represents
an amount equal to that of the
booked accommodation for at least 3 days. The deposit acts as
a confirmation of the booking for the hotelkeeper, but it penalizes
the client if a cancellation is made less than 30 days before
the beginning of the reservation, in which case the deposit will
be forfeited.
3. Cancellation
The client who cancels a reservation or leaves the hotel before
the time agreed is obliged to compensate the hotelkeeper the
losses sustained, paying him, in absence of a deposit or other
agreement, the price of the accommodation agreed upon for three
days.
4. Non-fulfilment
of the hotelkeeper
If the client arrives within the above-mentioned time and finds
the room he booked not available, the hotel keeper is obliged
to find him accommodation in a hotel of the same class or
if it is not possible in a hotel of higher class. Any difference
upwards in price will be compensated by the hotelkeeper.
Client has the right to leave the hotel and be compensated by
the hotelkeeper if, on his arrival, he finds that the location,
the facilities or the features of the hotel do not appreciably
correspond to those promised or illustrated by means of pictures
or writings.
Whereas no deposit has been given, the compensation consists
in a sum not higher than 10 percent of the total full board cost
for the entire period booked and for the number of members in
the family.

"Half board" implies the sum of the services for a
room, breakfast and one of the two main meals (lunch or dinner).
Half board price - which does not include drinks is generally
at least 10 percent less than full board price.
6. Wording
"sea view", "sea front", "directly on
the beach" and "directly on the sea"
The wording "sea view" is used when the room has windows
or balconies from which one can see the sea. The wording "sea
front" means, instead, that a room looks directly on the
sea. Finally, the wording "directly on the beach" or
"directly on the sea" indicates that the hotel is contiguous
with the beach without having to cross any public crossing.
The wording "room with private facilities" implies
that a room is provided, at least, with a shower or bath, W.C.
and washbasin. The wording "garden" implies that a
hotel provides for his guests a greenery outside area with facilities
suitable for relaxation and recreation for at least 50 percent
of the total client capacity. The wording "private car park"
indicates parking facilities in an area within the hotel for
at least a third of the rooms available. The wording "telephone"
can only be used if external calls can be made directly
or not from at least a third of the rooms.
7. Full board

of stay of less than three days separate prices are applied for
the room and for any other service.
The meals the client has the right to have on the arrival day
but not consumed can be served the day of departure without any
price increase or, on his request, he can have a packed meal.
The client will not receive any price reduction for meals which,
whatever the reason may be, are not consumed during the days
he has booked for. The meals must be consumed, as a rule, in
the rooms provided for that purpose in the hotel during the hours
fixed by the hotelkeeper. The hotelkeeper has the right to ask
for an extra charge for any meal consumed during other hours
or in different rooms. The day of booking begins at 12 a.m. The
room must be free at 10 a.m. of the last day of stay.
Lodging contracts are intended settled for one day if otherwise

they cannot be admitted in the common rooms.
Hotel and camping
keepers liability
The hotelkeeper liability for theft or damages to personal property
of the clients is provided for by a number of law provisions
(Italian Civil Code, arts. 1783, 1784, 1785, 1786). Such liability
is unlimited if the hotelkeeper has accepted money or object
of value for safe keeping or if he has refused, without valid
reason, to use suitable means to safeguard them, provided that
the loss is due to his or staff's negligence.
In all other cases, for properties brought into the hotel but
not entrusted to the hotelkeeper, the liability is limited to
the value of the stolen, destroyed or damaged property to at
most one hundred times the hotel room daily charge (law 15th
February 1997 no. 35). The liability of the hotelkeeper ceases
entirely when it can be proved that the loss is due to negligence
of the guest, or those who accompany him, visit him or are in
his service. The liability also ceases if the loss is caused
by force majeure or is due to the nature of the articles themselves.
The client must inform the hotelkeeper of the loss as soon as
he becomes aware of it. The liability of the hotelkeeper begins
from the moment the property is entrusted by the guest to one
of the hotel employees. Likewise the liability of the hotelkeeper
ceases on the departure of the client with the final return of
the property by the porter o by any other member of the hotel
staff.
Complaints
In any controversial between guest and hotelkeeper the municipality
of Gabicce Mare may intervene by trying to reach a friendly settlement,
in accordance with the above-mentioned regulation. Should that
fall, a complain should be written and documented and the municipality
will provide to forward it to the legal authority for the territory.
Should also this authority be unable to make the parties find
a friendly way of setting their controversy, legal steps may
be taken.
