How Should You Handle Tipping At The Luxury Level?
Service is often included, but modest tips for excellent service are appreciated.
In fine dining, "servizio" or "coperto" may appear; for standout service, add 5–10% discreetly. For drivers on full-day hires, €20–€50 depending on duration and complexity is customary.
Hotel porters appreciate €5–€10 per bag; housekeeping €10–€20 per night for suites. Spa treatments: ~10% for exceptional care. Avoid over-tipping as it's not expected; cash in envelopes keeps it elegant.
