Official text of the cited legislation
Abruzzo Regional Law 15 February 2023, no. 10 ↗
How to read this page: The number of rooms/beds is shown only when the law sets a general limit. Where you read “no single regional cap”, capacity depends on housing units, floor areas, hygiene and health requirements, classification or authorised capacity: it would be misleading to invent one universal number.

Key figures and differences between the four options

TypeRooms / bedsPractical difference
Bed & BreakfastNon-business: 4 rooms / 10 beds
Business: 6 rooms / 14 beds		B&B remains an accommodation category that includes breakfast. The law distinguishes non-business from business operation; capacity and organisational rules differ.
Affittacamere / regional equivalent6 rooms; no single overall bed cap stated in the definitionRoom-based accommodation facility, distinct from B&B because it is not built around family hospitality with breakfast. Actual capacity depends on dimensional requirements and classification.
CAV / holiday apartmentsNo single regional cap on rooms/bedsCAV = furnished housing units with bathrooms and kitchens, operated as an accommodation facility. Capacity derives from the units and authorised technical requirements.
Tourist rentalNo single regional cap on rooms/bedsTourist rental = rental relationship, without conversion into an accommodation facility. The regional CIR, CIN and compliance obligations remain separate. From 2026, national short-term rental rules presume business activity when more than two apartments are involved.

Bed & Breakfast

Non-business: 4 rooms / 10 beds
Business: 6 rooms / 14 beds

B&B remains an accommodation category that includes breakfast. The law distinguishes non-business from business operation; capacity and organisational rules differ.

Affittacamere / room accommodation

6 rooms; no single overall bed cap stated in the definition

Room-based accommodation facility, distinct from B&B because it is not built around family hospitality with breakfast. Actual capacity depends on dimensional requirements and classification.

Holiday homes and apartments (CAV)

No single regional cap on rooms/beds

CAV = furnished housing units with bathrooms and kitchens, operated as an accommodation facility. Capacity derives from the units and authorised technical requirements.

Tourist rentals

No single regional cap on rooms/beds

Tourist rental = rental relationship, without conversion into an accommodation facility. The regional CIR, CIN and compliance obligations remain separate. From 2026, national short-term rental rules presume business activity when more than two apartments are involved.

Operational checks before starting

1. Choose the legal accommodation category

Before filing any application, you need to determine whether the project is a B&B, Affittacamere, CAV or simply a tourist rental: services, capacity, taxation and procedures differ.

2. Municipality / SUAP

Check SCIA, CIA/notification requirements, tourist tax, any local regulations and the online procedures of the competent Municipality.

3. Property and capacity

Check permitted use where required, minimum room sizes, bathrooms, safety, condominium rules and the number of beds that can actually be authorised.

4. Codes and guests

Obtain the regional/provincial code where required and then the CIN; activate tourism statistics reporting, Alloggiati Web and the other applicable obligations.

Common national rule for 2026. The CIN is mandatory for accommodation facilities and tourist/short-term rentals where required; where a regional/provincial code exists, the CIN does not replace it but is added to it. Tourist rental activity carried out as a business requires a SCIA. For short-term rentals, from tax year 2026 the presumption of business activity applies when more than two apartments are used for short-term rental.
