The road to the accommodation is a little bit tight, but it’s a nice challenge with great views. It was a little cold in the room, but with the blanket it was ok.

The view was incredible. The host is very kind and is there for you to help with anything you need.

Location - The village is a bit far from Lake Como and is accessed via very narrow, winding paths. Especially when it rains it's super uncomfortable.

Everything is very nice. It was very clean and cozy. We had a balcony with a beautiful view of the mountains and a piece of the lake. The owners were very nice and helpful. Breakfast was good contains only sweet things - croissants, Nutella, jam, nothing like cheese, ham, normal bread.

The hosts are kind and really accommodating. I'd booked the wrong dates, thus we showed up a month earlier. They still welcomed us and made our short stay possible. Really nice location, close to the lake bit up in the hills with a true v illage atmosphere.

Everything was really good.

The host were extremely nice and friendly and the room was super clean. The location is amazing and only 20 min drive from lake como. The breakfast was really good every morning especially the hot chocolate. Highly recommended if you are going for a holiday around lake como. They also accommodated us with a cot which was really clean.

When you are not used to it the road is tricky.

The family was extremely friendly, welcoming and hospitable. The room and bathroom clean and a good size. The view from the balcony was outstanding.

We felt at home. The room is super clean with a familiar nice fragrance of freshness. The location is stunning with the windows open directly on the mountains. Home made breakfast prepared by Michele's mum and served in a large dining room.

A charming and great family business with friendly, direct hosts. The accommodation is a few km from Lake Como, but it's like being in another world. The approach to the house seemed difficult at first on the narrow and winding road for the last few kilometres, but by the next day we had adopted the local customs. While the lakeside is bustling, up on the mountain it is peaceful and quiet. The panorama is magnificent. The accommodation is very clean, the bed is comfortable and the room has a large en-suite bathroom. Breakfast is real Italian, with sweet flavours. Every morning there is also some kind of homemade pastry on the table, I have never had such delicacies. The kindness, helpfulness and directness of the hosts was very nice and although there were some language difficulties with the parents, it was not disturbing because I learned a lot of Italian expressions. Michele is the son of the parents and speaks English. This was the first time we stayed in B&B accommodation, but if it is like this we will prefer it in the future. Although we saw a lot of the area, I hope to come back here again. Thank you to the owners for giving us such a lovely holiday.

Very friendly family run B&B, very helpful and attentive and the B&B is in a beautiful setting. The location is very peaceful and just 10mins up the mountain from the lake and village of Dongo. The view from the balcony was amazing. The family make you feel so welcome and we would definitely love to return again one day.

Amazing view & host

What a view! For that view you need to drive a road that some people would find difficult. But you get used to it and the locals are so understanding and assertive to help where they can to let you pass by. The breakfast was a typical Italian breakfast with good strong coffee and sweet pastries (every day something different). This small B&B is run by a very kind and warm family, where nothing is too much to ask. The son speaks good English and is happy to give suggestions for a good experience at the Como lake (places to visit/relax/shop, foods to try, hikes). The parents only speak Italian, but they are so heartwarming and kind that it doesn't matter and the charm wouldn't be the same without their personality.

Very kind host, a view of the lake, ravine, and the old village.

The road up to the village is very steep with lots of sharp bends. It's fine if you know what to expect.

Great location with wonderful views of Lake Como. If you want an authentic experience of Italian mountain villages this is for you. Michele speaks great English and was able to offer us helpful advice about the local area.

The roads towards hotel location are bit difficult. There was no lift so had to carry heavy bags on 2nd floor.

I loved the location as it gives an awesome view around the mountains. The host is very friendly and gives honest information. The beds were very comfortable and bathrooms were clean. Breakfast was delicious.

Staff and location where exception. Slightly out the way so travel by car or motorbike. Amazing breakfast everyday.

The rooms were super-clean with nice, spacious bathrooms, but Calasco, the hamlet, is near the bottom of the valley, 200 metres of altitude below the main village, Garzeno, where there are some shops and restaurants. Other than the BnB Zia Maria and the attached bar/general store, there is nothing in Calasco except beautiful nature. For people walking the Monti Lariani trail, stopping for the night, there is hardly any waymarking/signposting to and from Calasco, so you'll have to rely on your apps. The road from Dongo to Calasco is very narrow in places, requiring careful driving!

Paradoxically, for a country that (arguably) has the best food in the world, breakfast in Italy is often a disappointment, with mainly pre-packaged, processed pastries and crispbread. At Zia Maria it was little different, BUT they went out of their way to provide me with fresh bread and soft-boiled eggs. So special thanks to Michele and his mum, Loredana, who were extremely kind, even providing the local speciality, Braschino, plus Cappucino from the family-owned bar downstairs. Note that there's a small general stores attached to the bar! It's possible to order pizza from 'da Jean' in Gerzeno, which is then delivered.

The place was really nice and worth for the price we paid. The guy at the reception was super nice and welcoming and so were the people in the village. I would definitely recommend this place to others.
