A formula created for those who offer hospitality to tourist behind payment. Beyond the minimum requisites, the Roman bed and breakfasters aim at quality. "Among the applications we've received up to now, says Mrs. Miele of the Provincial Board of Tourism of Rome, there are mostly prestigious apartments and villas in areas such as Nomentana or Appia Antica. Often, these houses exceed minimum requirements. In most cases, there are two bathrooms when only one is required by law".

First - Rate Structures
"We are looking for first-rate structures" says the Marketing Director of "Bed & Breakfast in Italy Network - Strutture Turistico Ricettive di Classe", the agency specialized in putting b&b partners in contact with tourists who are looking for a comfortable and family-like accommodation. In short, middle-class residences or better, possibly ennobled with parquet floors and a few antique pieces of forniture are a plus".

 "Often - says the Head of Purchasing - the owners who address us are professionals or entrepeneurs, however, the B & B idea also arises interest among divorced women who have a big house and a thin alimony check to fatten up. Among tourists, North Americans, Germans, Dutch and Australians are the ones who prefer the bed and breakfast formula.

The Homeowners' Obligations
Besides keeping the apartment net and clean, the homeowner "must be gifted with hospitality" - adds the Commercial Director - welcoming the tourists with fresh flowers in the bedroom, a welcome cocktail, a brief orientation on what's interesting to see in the area and how to get to Saint Peter's or the Coliseum.

Therefore, it tickled the hotel instinct and craze for profit of middle class apartment owners by proposing a very inviting business opportunity: become one of the first protagonist of the Capital for German "zimmer frei".

 With the blessing of the Latium Region, a law have just been passed giving the opportunity to transform his living quarters into a b&b formula. However, as it is difficult to organize oneself alone, the originators thought of creating a company that could marry the quest for comfortable tourism in a family-like atmosphere with entrepeneur instinct for owners with available rooms in Rome.
