Italy's Supreme Court Rules Hotels Not Obligated to Serve Tap Water

Rome. Italy's Supreme Court has ruled that a five-star hotel's refusal to serve tap water to customers is lawful. This case is related to Hotel Sassongher in Italy's Dolomites region.

During the 2019 ski season, a female tourist asked for tap water in the hotel's restaurant. But the waiter only gave her bottled mineral water costing 7 Euros.
