pension
pension = retirement income (financial)
⚠️ The trap
In a travel context 'pensione' means a small family-run guesthouse, not retirement money. 'Pensione completa' means full board (meals included).
To say "pension = retirement income (financial)" in Italian:
pensione (as accommodation)
"pensione" in English means:
small guesthouse / bed and breakfast; also means pension (retirement pay)
Example
"Abbiamo dormito in una pensione accogliente vicino al mare."
"We stayed in a cosy guesthouse near the sea."
