Italy's supreme court rules tap water 'not a right' for diners

chinadaily.com.cn | Updated: 2026-05-27 23:41

The case involved a woman staying at a hotel in the Dolomites mountain range who sued after being served bottled water instead of free tap water during dinner, claiming 2,700 euros in emotional damages.

The court rejected the claim, stating that hotels should be free to decide whether or not to serve tap water.

What do you think? Should hotels offer free tap water to guests?
