La camera ha la vasca da bagno o solo la doccia?

Does the room have a bathtub or only a shower?

Pronunciación

VAS-ca — two syllables, stress on the first. 'sc' before 'a' is hard, like 'sk'.

Cuándo usarla

Ask if this matters to you. Many European hotel rooms, especially smaller Italian ones, have only a shower ('doccia'), not a bathtub ('vasca da bagno').

Qué significa

'Vasca da bagno' literally means 'bathing tub'. 'Doccia' is a shower. The conjunction 'o' (or) connects the two options. Asking 'o solo' (or only) clarifies that you want to know the full picture, not just whether one exists.
