Hotel Italia sits sixteenth, a step behind its neighbour across Via della Geppa on our measured walk. It's the one hotel here with a garage where a driver collects and returns your car, at €30.00 (about US$35) per 24 hours. Breakfast is a continental buffet from 7:00, but the hotel's pages don't say your rate includes it.
That garage is the interesting part for drivers, not a cruise deal — the hotel doesn't say it runs for a week, so ask before you count on it.
The hotel books taxi transfers to the airports on reservation, without a fare, and it's 100 m from the bus terminal and the trains. Our walking route to the Stazione Marittima is about 0.8 miles.
Book it if you're driving in, and ask in writing what the garage charges for your cruise nights.
