power outlets

120V AC/ 60 hz, but depending on the location power outages and surges are not rare, so a surge protector (and there are reasonably small ones to travel with) are a good idea.
Re: Only if you came from Europe
I have found at some Italian designed hotel properties those round two prong sockets are there for some odd reason but usually there are plug adapters since the appliances and TV's they bought don't fit the plugs. Maybe that was the case but strange to find. Still 120V/60Hz.

Re: YUP! That is exactly what I meant
So if you are coming from Europe you are in luck, from Canada or USA buy the adaptors which in my multi ethnic neighborhood were only 89 cents each - I had to buy some for Chile where they are quite in vogue as power there is 220V/50Hz.
Thank goodness there for computer powersupplies/battery chargers that are dual voltage switching.
BTW the Costalunga in BC is one that has all these wonky plugs, and the adapters are darned helpful as are 3 prong to 2 prong (North American) adapters as the plugs are not grounded either.
