Pensierino

Pensierino: Lombardy

Situated in one of Italy’s most glamorous cities, right by the legendary lake, this petite home is a little piece of paradise. Sparks of joy fire off in the light-filled space thanks to the vivid paintings that embellish the white walls. Here, you can put your culinary skills to the test in the modern kitchen then bask in the sunlight at the breakfast bar while sipping something refreshing. After a day enjoying the charms of the nearby harbour and lake, spend an evening in front of the flat-screen TV catching up on Fellini's cinematic classics. Foodies will be especially delighted, as a short walk takes you to the supermarket, restaurants serving tasty Italian cuisine and the neighbourhood bakery, Beretta Il Fornaio, with delicious breads and pastries aplenty.
