Garni

- any help?
I'm not familiar with the tern "garni" to describe accommodations. One dictionary says simply that it's a furnished room in a guest house that offers only breakfast, but what's the difference between that and a Pension? My friends are staying in a place called Garni Gatterer in Brixen in South Tyrol (Italy), and they were looking for detailed information about the place. As you can see, the link doesn't give much other than it's a two-star place. Can anybody explain the term "garni," and can you find specific information about this place?
Brixen sounds like a wonderful town. Although it has been part of Italy since the end of World War I, Sütirol appears to be primarily a German-speaking province.
Vielen Dank.
