Mini diálogo

Nota cultural

Italian HI-affiliated hostels always provide sheets ('lenzuola'). Some independent budget hostels, particularly in southern Italy, still require sleep sacks or charge extra for sheets. A lightweight silk sleep sack weighs almost nothing and is worth packing for any extended hostel journey through Italy.
