Italian term or phrase:a favore di una prestazionalità diffusa
It refers to the description of a prestigious hotel.
I would translate "prestazionalità" as "supply of services" but I'm not sure since the meaning in Italian is not very clear to me!
Hope you can help me!
Thanks
manducci: 8:27pm Apr 21, 2004: Could you supply the whole sentence in which it appears. Thanks. - GAR (asker): 7:27am Apr 22, 2004: Here is the whole sentence: Il livello di esclusività del famoso albergo xxx oltrepassa la nozione tradizionale di "lusso" a favore di una prestazionalità diffusa, capillare.
Explanation: I am not sure of what the best ENG formula may be but literally it is *performability* and it's a new-born term (never heard it until last year or so and now it's all around!)
The root is prestazione (performance, among others) and the very word gives an idea of "ability to perform at a high level", or *performability*
As far as diffuso/capillare (capillare being a hypernym), it conveys a meaning of *pervasive* or *permeating* (the hotel's staff at every level).

\"Supply of services\" seems a hyponim of *prestazionalità*, the denotive level of it.

a favore di una prestazionalità diffusa offering a wide supply of services/to guarantee full services
Explanation: It depends on the context.
Prestazionalità can be referred both to "services" and to "performance".
E.g. the services of a doctor (prestazioni di un dottore).
the performance of an engine (prestazioni di un motore).
You are speaking about a hotel, so I think it's better to use "services". (a wide supply of services). But, if "prestazionalità" is related to a specific item or object offered by the hotel, you must pay attention to the difference in meaning of "service" and "performance".
Can you give a more detailed explanation of the context?
