Dated cost examples
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.
No reserve is added to these totals; that is not a claim that every tax or fee is zero. Provider headline displays taxes and charges included; final bill/unlisted fees not reconciled. No duplicate VAT added. Lunch and dinner use Villa Meraville as named-menu benchmarks, counted once. They are not a promise of daily opening, availability or a reservation, and not a seven-day dining plan. A per-person coperto is counted at every lunch and dinner sitting. The restaurant is on Via San Donato, away from the historic core, so it is not a central walking-base claim. Menu charges: Coperto 3 per person per sitting, apply 28 times across 14 lunches 14 dinners. No extra percentage unsupported. 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.

Practical notes
Arrival is modelled from Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ). Marconi Express Pay&Go: each adult uses their own card/device and taps in and out using that same instrument. Return within 30 days costs 12.80+10.50=23.30 EUR each; two adults 46.60. One card cannot admit both adults. Onward hotel transfer separate, January fare recheck. Six-night hotel samples are a comparison baseline, not a required trip length. All food, mobility and activity allowances must remain labeled estimates. Recheck room terms before booking.
Limits of these examples
