Window screens in Italy?
Do most small hotels, B&B's, etc. have window screens? This may sound like a silly question but it occurred to me that this may be the reason so many people insist on A/C. We'll be in several places from Rome, Tuscany, Venice & Cinque Terre. Just curious.

This answer is no. Window screens are not common however the idea seems to finally be catching on. Thankfully, my husband's family has recently placed them on almost all of their windows. Helps with the mosquito problem too.

No, screens, but you will definately pay more for a place with AC. You can get a Vape from a local hardware/or discount type store for about 6-10 euro--they have plug in models as well as portable that run on batteries so you can take them with you. They work pretty well for the mosquitos.

I've never seen window screens in any hotel in Italy, even 4-star, although maybe they have them at chains like the Hilton or Marriott. OTOH, I've never been bitten by a mosquito in Italy either, and I'm very susceptible to mosquito bites. (My friends say when they are with me here at home in NJ they don't need OFF, as I serve the same purpose for them.)
