BarattoBB is an Italian platform that connects bed and breakfasts willing to exchange stays for goods or services throughout the year. It offers an alternative to paying for accommodation, with participating B&Bs providing a stay that includes breakfast in return for an agreed barter. The service extends the idea of Italy’s annual Barter Week beyond its November event, bringing together accommodation providers available to trade year-round.

Travelers can search participating properties by region, city, or interests such as coastal destinations, mountains, lakes, nature, and historic villages. They can also browse B&Bs’ wish lists and contact hosts to propose a suitable exchange. Barter arrangements may involve practical skills, assistance, products, or personal collections. Examples featured on the site include carpentry, building work, olive oil, games, and promotional support, while other possible exchanges range from website creation and car maintenance to dance lessons, wellness treatments, and local foods.

By helping guests and hosts find mutually useful exchanges, BarattoBB promotes a shared, non-cash approach to travel and presents barter as a way to enjoy B&B stays across Italy.
