[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were in Italy (all over) for nearly three weeks last July. Our hotels had excellent AC. Most churches were cool. Shops had ac or fans. Most restaurants had ac or were cooled by fans.

It really wasn’t unbearable.

Are you staying in a hot Airbnb, op?[/quote]

Agreed, you have to confirm it, but plenty of hotels and apartment rentals have A/C, and yes since its expensive, it generally is more common in more expensive/nicer areas, and of course places with A/C will be more expensive to stay at.  May have the (ugh) loud portable ones that exhaust out a window, or (much better) mini-splits, and may only be in the bedrooms. Our rental a few years ago had the portable unit in one bedroom, and good fans in the other one.  We ended up all sleeping in the one bedroom with the A/C and it was fine.[/quote]

Also if renting a place that lists A/C as an amenity, see if you can ask or figure out what system they have.  The best is if you can spot the mini-split unit in a picture.  If you don't see that, probably reasonable to assume it's the portable unit- window units are uncommon there because of the style of windows they have. If they have full ducted A/C they will probably say that in the listing because it's so uncommon and definitely something people will pay extra for.[/quote]
