Entro che ora devo liberare l'appartamento?

By what time do I need to vacate the apartment?

Pronunciation

li-be-RA-re — four syllables, stress on the third.

When to use it

Ask at least the day before departure. Airbnb check-out times are typically 10am or 11am — stricter than hotels.

What it means

'Entro che ora' = by what time. 'Devo liberare' = I must vacate. 'Liberare' literally means to free — in this context, to vacate. Airbnb check-out times are often earlier than hotel check-out because hosts need time to clean before the next guest.

Variations

Il check-out è alle undici?

Is check-out at eleven?

Confirm the time already noted in the Airbnb listing

Posso lasciare i bagagli qui dopo il check-out?

Can I leave my luggage here after check-out?

Ask if you have a late flight — many hosts agree to this

Dove lascio le chiavi quando parto?

Where do I leave the keys when I leave?

Confirm key return procedure before departure

Mini Dialogue

Cultural Note

Airbnb check-out times in Italy are legally the host's prerogative. Many hosts set 10am to allow time for cleaning before a 3pm check-in. Being on time shows respect for the host's business and the next guest's experience. If you need flexibility, ask in advance — many hosts can accommodate.
