Italian term or phrase: super mezza pensione
Hi, I'm trying to translate a tourism brochure for Emilia Romagna:

"Il pacchetto include: sistemazione in camera doppia, trattamento di super mezza pensione, bevande escluse ai pasti"

my try:

"The package includes: Lodging in double room, half board, drinks excluded at meals,..."

As you can see, I'm just translating it as half board. Anyone know more about this?

thanks,

Peter

luxury half board / half board plus
Explanation:
I think the term is trying to describe half board on an extra special basis.

I now think on researching my own suggestions a bit more, that "half board plus" may be the better of my two options:

"Half Board & Full Board Plus include drinks with meals (house wine, draught beer, soft drinks, fruit juices, water, tea and coffee)

"Half-Board Plus is a new dining concept from Beachcomber and is available at Paradis Hotel & Golf Club and "

"The Wiesenhof Luxury Halfboard"

Super mezza pensione non vuol dire (solo) che sia una mezza pensione molto buona: si tratta di un pranzo per chi va in vacanza con le biciclette. Guarda qui:
