Usage Note
Vano in property contexts means a distinct room or compartment — Italian real-estate listings count vani rather than bedrooms (un appartamento di quattro vani). As an adjective it also means 'vain' or 'futile' (un vano tentativo), a completely different sense; the shared form can mislead learners.
Examples
"L'appartamento ha quattro vani."
Natural Translation
The apartment has four rooms.
