Hotel Pironi (Cannobio, Italy)

The Hotel Pironi is a charming boutique hotel housed in a 15th century palazzo, once a Franciscan monastery, strategically located at the heart of the old town, just a few steps from the lake. Sympathetic restoration of the building has successfully established perfect harmony between the ancient structure and the functional requirements of a modern hotel. The Hotel Pironi today boasts a collection of original frescoes, antiques, vaulted ceilings and medieval stone columns further enriched by a warmly sophisticated colour scheme. The breakfast room is an eighteenth century jewel with frescoed walls and ceilings. The bedrooms are all different from one another, with a number offering relaxing views of the lake while others overlook the pedestrian streets of the historic centre. With its unique history and atmosphere, the Hotel Pironi is sure to surprise and delight its guests, none of whom will be able to resist its magic.
