È possibile avere il late check-out?

Is it possible to have late check-out?

Pronunciation

'late' is pronounced approximately as in English — IT-alians borrow the word.

What it means

'È possibile' (is it possible) + infinitive is the Italian equivalent of 'can I' in polite requests. It is slightly more formal than 'posso'. The anglicism 'late check-out' is universally understood in Italian hotels. Grammatically it is treated as a masculine noun.

Cultural Note

Late check-out availability in Italian hotels depends entirely on the day's incoming bookings. In low season, it may be free. In peak summer, even paying will not guarantee it. Ask the evening before and be flexible — the hotel cannot hold a room indefinitely.
