This is genuinely one of the best experiences I've ever had. Nestled between huge, imposing mountain ranges, Premione is an immensely beautiful location. It's no wonder that Lapo made the move out here from Milano. The air is clean and crisp, the neighbourhood is friendly and relaxed. I wish I could have stayed longer, and I will definitely return one day.
I hiked to the top of Monte Casale, and if you have the chance I would recommend it - the views are spectacular. There are other climbs you can do, too, but you'll need a few days to fit it all in - plus a much needed rest day to recover. It would be useful to have a car while in Premione, as busses operate only twice daily, and it's too far to walk. I didn't, but Lapo is such a generous host and he helped me with tips and transport.
There is a chance there'll be other guests staying at the same time, but the spaces are nice and open and the rooms private and comfortable. I would love to visit in winter, to see the snow and sit by a fire!
Don't think twice about this place. It's a gem! Grazie mille, Lapo!
