what does HB & FB in Italy mean for hotels ?

I know in France HB is dinner & breakfast & FB means all three meals. But I wasn't sure if it means the same thing in Italy.

We will be in Northern Italy in the Bormio area in July, As I am trying to compare prices I just want to make sure I understand what I am looking at.

Thank you all.

Hi, I know than HB is Half board and FB is Full board so it might be the same for Italy hotels!
(with HB you can usually chose between lunch and dinner)

That's what I was assuming, but I was hoping that those with more experience with traveling in Italy would confirm that for me.

This will be my first time in Italy, previously I landed in Milan and drove immediately to France so I am unfamiliar with the Italian terms.

Hi C,

You assumed correctly.

It means the same in Italy

Thanks Cambe, that's just what I needed. We're on a very tight budget so I would hate to make an expensive mistake by not understanding the hotel descriptions.

If I get it right that means fewer nights in a tent ;-)
