Why do so many European hotels only have twin beds?

Question

We are booking our honeymoon in Italy and are having trouble finding rooms that are not two twin joined beds. Is this a cultural difference between Europe and the United States?

Answer 1

They disapprove of s*x,I guess. Remind me not to travel in Europe.

Answer 2

yes it is

Answer 3

it's weird. I guess you better call the hotels in advance and specify you want a "camera matrimoniale" because you are on your honeymoon. I never had trouble on my vacations, and I can assure you that all hotels in Italy have queen sized beds. King size are a bit more difficult to find.

Answer 4

Its not so much a cultural difference. Its just that most Europeans see bedtime as a private individual thing. You can push your beds together in most hotels or ask the hotel staff to do this ahead of time.

Answer 5

in italy you must ask for a "letto matrimoniale"... i never had any problem to find it... it sounds strange..
