Potete rifornire il minibar più spesso?

Can you restock the minibar more often?

Pronunciation

'Rifornire' — stress the third syllable: 'ri-for-NI-re'. 'Minibar' — 'MI-ni-bar'.

When to use it

For longer stays where the minibar needs frequent restocking. Standard restocking (once daily) may not be sufficient.

What it means

'Rifornire' = to restock/resupply. 'Il minibar' is the standard Italian term. 'Più spesso' = 'more often'. For extended stays, minibar consumption increases and daily restocking may not be sufficient.

Mini Dialogue

Cultural Note

Italian hotel minibars are traditionally stocked with local products — mineral water (acqua minerale), regional soft drinks, small bottles of local wine or grappa. For extended stays, better hotels personalise the minibar to guest preferences — a genuinely Italian touch of thoughtful hospitality.
