I agree, \"private bath\" sounds much more reasonable in this context, but unless there\'s something I\'m missing, it just doesn\'t mean that... Enlighten me?

Native speakers trump all! The trouble with dictionaries is that they can\'t keep up with usage (I\'d only looked it up to confirm what I thought, which was that it meant private bath!). I withdraw my suggestion, which contradicted common sense in any case.

servizi privati non indica il servizio in camera o altri servizi offerti dal personale, ma si riferisce alla possibilità di avere il bagno nella camera, a differenza dei servizi in comune, dove i bagni sono comuni a più camere

Some rooms have private facilities (toilet/shower). (quote from website) - and there are many more of this ilk - UK hotels too.

A Small Hotel will normally have a maximum of twenty letting bedrooms and a minimum of six. The majority of the bedrooms will have ensuite or private facilities.

neutral  CMJ_Trans (X): in the text I just quoted above, it would seem that "private" may not necessarily be en suite
15 mins
  -> That's how it is expressed in italian, i.e. always "servizi privati" either ensuite or not. However, given the bedroom facilities you listed, it is rather unlikely that private facilities would not be ensuite.
