Hello there,
We are just setting up our bed and breakfast and getting ready to open (hopefully in the next month) but could anyone advise us if we need signs displaying the prices of the rooms on the back of the bedroom doors. If so, where do we buy them from or can we make our own! Also are there any other notices or forms we may need - it all seems quite complicated at the moment and we just want to get things right!
Many thanks
Sarah and Mark
Bed and breakfast forms
Sorry I am unable to help you as I do not know the laws in Italy.
Here in France I need to have the rates in the room and also at the gate or entrance to the house. The ones in the room we use a stand up photo frame and the one outstand i make my own and laminate them so i have no problem if it rains

The laws for the B&Bs vary from region to region. It doesn't seem that you need signs displaying the prices of the rooms on the back of the bedroom doors in the Marche region.
I suppose that you have already checked this site: http://www.turismo.marche.it/it/it/osse ... akfast.asp
Also, the regional law can be found here:

You must inform the comune about the prices, but nothing is said about signs in the bedrooms. It is therefore not compulsory... until the next law!

Hi Sandra and Mark,
what I'm sure about is that, after communicating to the "Comune" that you're opening you should also communicate them your opening times and prices, whether you then have to display the prices or not I don't know (we do for Agriturismo in Le Marche and I guess that it will be the same, but for example we keep the prices sheet with the "rules of the house" paper and not on the door).
Feel free to contact me for any specific language issue or anything else you think I may help with!

I don't have a B&B...so no clue about anthing official 
but...if it means anything, I KNOW our local B&B in town does not post rates, etc.
Don't be nervous about the language either, by the way...anytime I walk into the Comune offices with a confused look, they are very helpful (!) I actually, get the feeling sometimes that they are MORE helpful because my Italian is so horrendous still and they feel they have to go out of their way to explain things very throughly and simply

very ture. i understand that.
guess I was not clear...my POINT was that they can be surprisingly helpful when you walk into a Comune office clueless (or not, I guess - obviously would depend on the comune and who's working there) - should have said that that would just be my first stop to help me figure things out also...my point #2 was that althouygh it is required in SOME places, it seems to not be in all
