I've stayed at two hotels in Italy that provided kettles, tea and coffee - one in Venice and one in Naples. If you BYO kettle then its also BYO coffee and tea but they're easy enough to find at the local supermarket. The COOP brand instant coffee is very good.

Italy has very good water that you can drink or boil - does not matter. Enjoy! Unless I have totally lost it (which is highly possible) the American Dinesen Hotel in Venice had a little kettle in our room...with tea bags. But that was the only place that had a kettle in Italy...so right you are!
What You Cannot Take From a Hotel Room. Guests often take towels, irons, hairdryers, pillows, and blankets, according to the housekeeping department at Hilton Kingston. Cable boxes, clock radios, paintings, ashtrays, light bulbs, TV remote controls—even the Bible—are commonly stolen as well.
Tap water in the U.S. is generally safe because it's regulated by the Safe Drinking Water Act. If you are unsure about the quality of the tap water in your hotel, experts recommend using portable options such as water filters and purifiers or opting for bottled water.
In Europe voltage is 240 and the maximum socket current is 13A (fuse in plug) (3120W) The circuit could deliver 20A. Half the power, double the time (approx)! The boiling time is a function of power, not voltage. However, to get the same power at a lower voltage requires a proportionally higher current.
In Italy, the hotels are required to register guests with the local authorities, which they do via your passport information. They will collect your passport when you check in, sometimes keeping it for 24 hours before returning it to you.
You don't really need to bring this from home, of course — Italy does have toilet paper! — but it's a smart thing for ladies, particularly, to throw in their purses before leaving the hotel in the morning.
