Pension (lodging)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A pension is a family-owned guesthouse or boarding house. This term is used in France, Spain, Italy and other Continental European countries, where one can usually get a room with a shared bathroom. These small businesses may offer special rates for travellers staying longer than a week.
In Switzerland these family run guesthouses may be located in historic old buildings, have beautifully designed rooms with private bathrooms and usually have a restaurant for breakfast and dinner. They are less expensive than a full service hotel, since they are family run and have limited services beyond lodging and food. A real advantage is ongoing interaction with the owners which may provide a more enjoyable experience.
