Help with calling rome
 

I'm having trouble calling a hotel in Rome. Is the country code 011? The telephone number listed is 0039 041 5210188.. I dialed 011 and then those numbers and I get a recording saying that the number is discontinued... what am I doing wrong?<BR><BR>thanks again<BR><BR>Patty

Patty,<BR>the number you dial: 0039 041 5210188 is a phone number of Venice and it is Hotel Villa Accademia.<BR>Hotels in Rome must have 06 instead of 041 and you must not dial 011: it is wrong.<BR>So, for a phone number of Rome: 0039 06 and the number of the hotel.<BR>Anyhow, the number you have, if it is on Rome, it is not a hotel but a private house.<BR>Ciao.

Vincenzo:<BR><BR>Thanks so much for your reply, but I think I'm half sleeping... yes, I am trying to call Venice not Rome and I am calling from the U.S. So I don't use 011? <BR><BR>patty

Hi Patty,<BR>Yes, you are correct. You need to drop the two zeros at the beginning of the number and replace with the 011. <BR><BR>Patti

You have to dial the 011 from the US for an international call, if you were in Italy you wouldn't need it or the country code.<BR>From the US dial 011-39-then the number

Thanks all for your help.<BR><BR>My mother called pension accademia for me (she speaks perfect Italian) to make a reservation for the end of October 2002. All booked! It's a weekend and I guess very popular. Oh well... back to the beginning.. maybe Hotel Flora<BR><BR>Thanks again<BR><BR>Patty
