Can you keep my valuables in the safe?
'Conservare' — stress the third syllable: 'con-ser-VA-re'. 'Oggetti' — 'og-GET-ti', double T.
Use when you want to store valuables in the hotel's main safe (at reception) rather than the in-room safe. More secure for high-value items.
'Conservare' means to keep/preserve — more formal than 'tenere' or 'mettere'. 'Oggetti di valore' = 'valuables' (literally 'objects of value'). 'In cassaforte' = 'in the safe'. Italian hotels have both in-room safes and a main hotel safe.

Asks for a formal record of deposited valuables
Italian hotels are legally required to have a safe (cassaforte) available for guests. If an item is stolen from a hotel safe, the hotel may be liable. Always get a signed receipt ('ricevuta') when depositing valuables — this creates legal accountability.
