Actually I think Mexico has better toilets. Italy has either holes in
the
floor like Japan or no toilet seat.

???????

Not true in Rome, Florence, Naples, or Milan (in my experience). Maybe I
just
patronize better hotels, bars, and restaurants?? :-)

Now toilet paper, that's another matter.
On several occassions, my wife would enter a Women's restroom to find some
old
gypsy woman had commandeered every roll of TP in the joint. She would
gladly
reel out several inches of her hoard in exchange for a suitable tip. Very
enterprising.



Rome, Sorrento, Lucca, Assisi, Sienna, and Cinque Terre. Pretty much most
of the mid western italy.

Italian toilet seat discussion continued:

I think one would expect to find toilet seats in the Americanized hotels like
Holiday Inn, etc.

We try to stay at 2-3 star places to save some money, and get a more local
experience. Our local experience in Rome included a prowler in the hotel room
in the middle of the night, probably trying to steal
American passports, so it wasn't exactly a
premiere address. (Wife woke up, screamed, and by the time I got out of bed a
split second later the person was out the door and running down the hall like a
rabbit, empty handed).

The reason I can be completely sure we had a toilet seat is that we stayed in
that room, even after the break in, for over a week. My wife is a real trooper,
but our tenure in a room with no seat on the toilet would have been about 15
minutes, max.
Midnight prowlers she'll put up with, but no toilet seat? Out of the question.

Even the 1 star hotels have toilet seats. It is all the bars, restaurants,
stores and tourist traps that do not have them, as well as train stations.

It's Europe. And France has similar toilet conditions. Except for the
public self cleaning, cost money variety.
