Check-in documents and the Italian tax code

To register our guests and issue the receipt or invoice for your stay we only need a few details. Having them ready before you arrive makes check-in faster.

What to bring

• An identity document for every guest: passport, national ID card or driving licence.
• Your booking confirmation, on your phone is fine.
• Your address, if you would like an invoice for the stay.
• For an invoice to a company: company name, address and VAT number.

Do I need an Italian tax code (codice fiscale)?

If you live outside Italy, no. The codice fiscale is the 16-character personal code used by Italian residents in their dealings with the authorities. Guests who are not resident in Italy do not need one, neither to stay with us nor to receive an invoice: we issue it with your passport details and your home address.

You only need a codice fiscale if you have ongoing ties with Italy, such as a job, a property, a rental contract or a bank account. In that case, the guide on how to get an Italian tax code explains the procedure, and the page on what the codice fiscale is shows how it is built.

Italian residents: forgot your codice fiscale?

If you are an Italian resident and want an invoice, we need your codice fiscale. If you do not have your health card (tessera sanitaria) with you, you can get the code in a few seconds with the free Italian tax code calculator. To check that the code on your booking is correct, use the tax code checker, which spots a wrong character straight away.

Frequently asked questions

I am a foreign guest. Do I need a codice fiscale to get an invoice?
