Maso Zambo - Restaurant In Cassina valsassina

An incredible surprise in Valsassina. We had a top-notch lunch. Traditional dishes revisited and beautifully presented. Unexpectedly high quality cuisine. Excellent service, polite and courteous staff. Fantastic location. We will definitely be back. Thank you.

From check-in to check-out, our stay here was nothing short of perfect! I was purposely seeking out an authentic Agritourismo experience, and this place exceeded all my expectations. Stefano was incredibly helpful and responsive from the moment I inquired about availability. He assisted us with connecting to a massage therapist and even recommended lunch spots to visit in Lecco. Our arrival was a bit confusing initially— we didn't realize we were to wait up top on the road for Stefano to pick us up. Once I understood, everything became seamless. Stefano transported us down to the lodge, even loading our luggage, despite our many bags from a three-week trip. Stefano gave us a comprehensive tour of the property, including the spa and our beautiful room. We indulged in the spa experience, where Stefano created a personalized aroma therapy loft, filling the space with a delightful scent crafted from herbs. He also brought us water infused with flowers from his farm. We relaxed in the sauna, cooled off with ice, and lounged on the birch beds while soft music played—an absolutely sublime experience. Our room was equally impressive, with Stefano’s keen eye for design and attention to detail. The towels, sheets, and pillows were top-notch—so much so that I was inspired to find where to purchase similar linens for our bed and breakfast back in the United States. The dinner Stefano and his lovely assistant prepared was unforgettable. Out of three weeks in Italy, this meal was the most memorable, enjoyable, and delicious. This agritourismo was exactly the kind of experience I was seeking—authentic, charming, and inspiring. From the beautiful craftsmanship and details throughout the property to the farm’s fresh produce, delicious breakfasts, and warm hospitality, everything left us thoroughly inspired. Highly recommend this place for anyone wanting an authentic Italian farm stay that is rich in beauty, flavor, and heartfelt hospitality!

A very pleasant experience, the staff is very kind and the property is charming. However, overall I think the prices are really excessive and disproportionate to the services and overall experience. The rooms are nice and clean, but they are naturally small given the structure, so the price of the stay should already take this into account. The linens are very basic, and even the bathroom lacks any special amenities that could possibly justify the price. As for breakfast, it's really poor and not suitable for everyone. They only serve a little yogurt, some cereal, bread, butter, and jam, and a half glass of juice. For a place that claims to have fresh eggs, a vegetable garden, and an orchard, at least the option to order eggs or have a little fresh fruit seems like the minimum. Another good idea would be to bake or procure fresh cakes. In short, there seems to be no shortage of resources, but the selection is truly limited. Furthermore, breakfast is served between 9 and 10; Given the amount I spent, I'd like to be able to decide when to get up, especially on weekends. Finally, the dinner was undoubtedly very good, we even complimented it. However, once again, the price was outrageous, around €90 per person. Four courses, the ingredients mostly vegetables (the appetizer was a zucchini flan with eggplant, the main course a cream of potatoes with an egg, the dessert made entirely of blueberries—so, in a place with its own garden and eggs, we imagine all the products were more or less free for the establishment), and meat (only the first course, ravioli stuffed with duck—again, we were told it was "their" duck, so we imagine the costs were quite low for the establishment). Wine was a bottle of prosecco and two glasses. How can you justify asking €186 for two? Furthermore, we didn't have a chance to decide on the time for dinner either; it was served at 8:00 PM, and since we were still finishing a bottle of Prosecco for an aperitif with friends at 8:25 PM, we were told that dinner was being served. In short, I would recommend reviewing the prices or the service, which needs to be up to par. Thank you.
