Can I receive post at the apartment?
ri-ce-VE-re — four syllables, stress on the third.
Ask if you are expecting a delivery or want to send yourself something to the Airbnb address during your stay.
'Ricevere posta' = to receive post/mail. 'All'appartamento' = at the apartment. Italian postal addresses use the format: street name + number, floor (piano), postal code (CAP), city. Some Airbnb hosts do not want mail in their name as it can create legal complications.
Posso far consegnare un pacco all'indirizzo?
Can I have a package delivered to the address?
Ask specifically for parcels — often the host needs to be home to receive them
Qual è l'indirizzo completo?
What is the full address?
Italian addresses often need apartment number, floor, and sometimes entry code
C'è una buca delle lettere?
Is there a letterbox?
Ask where incoming mail is collected
Italian postal service ('Poste Italiane') is known for variable reliability. For important deliveries, DHL, BRT, and GLS are more reliable private couriers. Some couriers will not deliver to apartments without a 'portineria' (caretaker's office) — ask the host if there is someone who can receive parcels.
