Italy bans key boxes on holiday rental accommodation. What does it mean for travellers?
🏠 In Italy, rental accommodation owners must now meet guests in person due to a ban effective from 18 November, targeting Airbnb and Booking properties. This measure, in response to safety and public order risks, requires personal guest details to be sent to police within 24 hours of check-in. The ban comes amid discontent in cities like Rome, Florence, and Milan over rising housing prices and disturbances caused by rental properties. The 2025 Jubilee celebrations in Rome partly prompted the new rule.
