retire

To be honest, I had never come across this word till we started reading up on destinations for this trip…

Pension (päN-syôN')
n
1. A boarding house or small hotel in Europe: “A pension
had somewhat less to offer than a hotel; it was always smaller, and never
elegant; it sometimes offered breakfast, and sometimes not” (John Irving).
2. Accommodations or the payment for accommodations, especially at a
boarding house or small hotel in Europe.
3. Room and board

[French, from Old French, payment]>
