But I can not imagine what taxes compose 50% or 100% more expensive rooms. Could you tell me exact taxes that are extra taxes compared to what taxes spanish hotel owners pay?

Well i'm not THAT prepared on this
But don't forget other kind of costs too. If, in example, our cost for public water is higher, that's another reason to add.
I believe Italy is just TOO expensive for any kind of business these days, and most of this cost is burocracy and taxes.
