What is the sojourn tax
The sojourn tax is a local tourist tax paid by guests staying in hotels, guesthouses, apartments, B&Bs or other tourist establishments.
The City uses the proceeds of this tax primarily to promote tourism, maintain historic sites and public spaces, and improve visitor services.
The tax is not included in the price of accommodation and is usually paid directly to the accommodation provider at check-out.
When the tourist tax is paid
In Montecatini Terme the residence tax is collected throughout the year (1 January - 31 December).
It is therefore valid both in the main tourist season and for winter or off-season stays.
Maximum number of nights charged
The fee is not charged indefinitely. The stay fee is calculated for a maximum of 7 consecutive nights per person. Therefore, if you stay for two weeks, you will only pay tax for the first 7 nights of your stay.
