Trenitalia
Trenitalia operates an extensive night train network called Intercity Notte throughout Italy, offering sleeping cars ('Relax'), couchette cars ('Comfort'), and seating cars ('Easy').
What do the sleeper cars offer?
In the sleeping cars ('Relax'), all compartments have three beds and can be booked for one, two, or three people. Sharing with strangers is no longer possible. Compartments are equipped with a washbasin, mirror, and reading lights. For families, adjoining compartments can be connected by a door. Premium 'Superior' compartments with en-suite shower and WC are available on the Rome–Trieste, Rome–Bolzano, and Rome–Lecce routes.
How do the couchette cars work?
The couchette cars ('Comfort') feature 4-berth compartments, with options for women-only or family compartments. The berths are about 190 cm long. Before departure, the train crew distributes sleeping bags, pillows, and blankets. Due to frequent stops and passenger movement, these can be slightly noisier at night.
What do the seating cars offer?
The seating cars ('Easy') mostly have open-plan carriages with seats arranged in groups of four. The lights may stay on all night. Some routes also have carriages with 6-seat compartments where you can adjust lighting, speakers, and heating yourself. All seating cars have power sockets and a small table.
