According l 'National Tourism Observatory, there are 20.030 houses used as bed & breakfasts in Italy, compared to 36.659 hotels. Twenty thousand structures scattered among large cities and tourist resorts of all kinds, increasingly appreciated by families with children for their comfort, simplicity and affordable price.

Tourists who, as mentioned, don't lose sight of their wallets, considering the prices of the b & b usually lower than those of the hotels.
