To celebrate the mushrooming number of bed and breakfast acommodations in Italy, thousands of B&B owners are offering a free one-night stay on March 3.

It’s called B&B Day but guests get a to spend the night gratis at establishments throughout the Bel Paese, from Florence to Lipari.

One catch: you do have to book at least one other night but the celebration falls on a Saturday, so think of it as a half-price weekend.
