Six dated, itemised examples from 2027-01-19 to 2027-01-25: 6 nights and 7 days for two adults sharing one room, which is 14 person-days. Prices are as observed in October 2026, cover ground costs only, and are not multiplied out to other party sizes or trip lengths.
Dated planning illustration for two adults sharing one room, 19–25 January 2027: seven days and six nights, flights excluded. Hotel prices are public room-table observations from 2 October 2026, not checkout-reconciled quotes or held rooms. Breakfast, water, drinks, activities and marked transport lines are MTC gross estimates, not supplier quotes or free attractions. Not bookable, not a quote and not an annual or calculator default; do not scale it linearly to a different party.
Totals carry calculated conditional fee reserves (hotel taxes and, where marked, conditional meal covers); they are shown with the subtotal before reserves and are not final charges or maximums. Provider headline includes taxes/charges, but the final itemized bill and additional fees are unreconciled. No duplicated VAT. Conditional hotel-tax planning reserves EUR 32, EUR 32, EUR 28. UNA directly confirms EUR 4 per adult for first 4 nights; NH four-star same-category application is an inference. Mediterraneo three-star EUR 3.50 uses secondary reporting of 2026 municipal rates because the official PDF could not be retrieved. Thus category/inclusion and January rate are unresolved; these are not assessed final taxes. Lunch and dinner use Il Sale Art Cafe as dated named-menu price benchmarks, distinct from itinerary recommendations, counted once. They are not a promise of daily opening, January availability or a reservation, not a city average and not a seven-day dining plan; dish names are not dietary or allergen certification. Menu charges: Bread/cover/service not itemized in captured menu, unresolved rather than zero. Frozen product markings retained; no dietary certification. Published consumer prices once, not January guarantee. Lunch benchmark does not imply daily lunchtime opening. Every total shows its reserve and the subtotal before it. Each example is headed by its hotel's name; the order follows room price, not quality.
