Noise
By law, silence is required between 11pm and 7am and again between 1:30pm and 4pm. Please respect this law by keeping noise to a minimum during these hours and be considerate to our neighbours at all times.
Schengen issues
It is important to check that your passport is stamped when you enter and exit the Schengen area. Border guards will use passport stamps to check you’re complying with the 90-day visa-free limit for short stays in the Schengen area. If relevant entry or exit stamps are not in your passport, border guards will presume that you have overstayed your visa-free limit and may refuse entry.
DICHIARAZIONE DI PRESENZA
The Italian authorities like to know of the presence of all foreign visitors who are staying without a visa. When you stay in a hotel or airbnb, they take your details and report them to the Questura (state police). When you stay in a private house, that doesn’t happen so you may need to register at the questura.
If you arrive directly in Italy from outside the Schengen area (e.g. fly to Italy from the UK), the fact that you received a Schengen stamp in your passport covers this requirement and you do not need to make a declaration.
If, however, you enter Italy from another country in the Schengen area (e.g. drive to Italy), you need to make a declaration within 8 days of arrival for each person. To do that, take your passport to the questura in Lucca with the declaration form filled in. We believe you need one form per person with both sides filled in with the same details and a photocopy of each passport. There should be hard copies of the form in one of the kitchen drawers.
They should give you one of the two halves to keep with your passport in case you are required to show it by the authorities.
There are some further details regarding this here, including the strong warning below (translated from the Italian).
Effects of failure to declare attendance
Whoever does not make the declaration of presence, or presents it beyond the 8 day limit, risks expulsion from the country, unless the delay was due to force majeure.
Those who, despite having regularly declared their presence, stay in Italy for more than 90 days suffer the same fate.
The expulsion measure is adopted by the Prefect.
We remind you that Law no. 94 of 15/7/2009 introduced the crime of illegal entry and stay in the territory of the Italian State. Therefore, anyone who enters or stays illegally in Italy commits the crime of illegal immigration, punished with a fine ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 euros.
