Note the Challenging Stairs

This is more than a hotel. It just really made me feel like home! The staffs are so friendly and helpful. Rooms and facilities are just perfect. The restaurant is very beautiful and foods are very delicious. Most of all, the humbleness and friendliness of all staffs are what really made me super impressed. If anyone would like to stay somewhere not so touristic but still can travel to several famous places like Lecco or Lake Como, I would definitely recommend this place! 100/10!

Nothing. Just an information for someone traveling alone with no cars like me, making good plans on how to get back to the hotel at night would help you a lot. However, you can always chat with the staffs and they’re always there to help you!

I would stay again and also longer. Renovated old barn house has a romantic Atmosphere, really nice backyard and it is close to Adda river (nice place where to walk and relax). The room was neat, clean and everything was working. They offer nice rich breakfast with fresh bread/sweet bakery products (also gluten free options as well) and in the evening is the restaurant open. The food is delicious and staff is making you feel special. Parking in the backyard is possible.

Noisy wooden stairs to the second floor - old barn issue, so we have full understanding for that.

Locanda Osteria Marascia, with its proximity to Como, has truly captured our hearts. The staff's incredible politeness and experience immediately set the tone for a remarkable stay. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in a sense of warmth and professionalism that is rare to find. Their breakfast is nothing short of delicious, offering a variety of local and fresh options that cater to all tastes. It's the perfect start to a day of exploring the beautiful surroundings. Furthermore, the hotel's rich historical texture adds an enchanting layer to the experience. Staying here feels like being a part of history, with all the modern comforts you could ask for. Each corner of the hotel tells a story, making our stay not just a visit, but a journey through time. The combination of these elements - the unbeatable location, the exquisite breakfast, the skilled and friendly staff, and the unique historical ambiance - makes Locanda Osteria Marascia an unforgettable destination. It's more than just a place to stay; it's a place to experience and cherish.

Everything went as it was agreed. Finding the guest house was easy and there was plenty of safe parking place avaliable. The garden was very nice and the room was super cosy and clean all the time. All the staff members were so extremely kind and helpful. Special thanks to owners Massimo and his wife. Also for the gentleman who worked at the restaurant and at the breakfast almost every day. He was super professional! The restaurant Osteria Marascia was the best restaurant we had dinner on our trip. We highly recommend to have at least dinner here if you don't stay for a night.

A car is almost neccessary to arrive to this quest house, but it is still worth it.

We traveled by train and had to walk 20 minutes to the hotel, which was not a problem as we traveled light. It is a very peaceful area near the river, in a decent small town. We walked it up and down. The locals are amiable. Has everything for a multiday stay. We used the train to visit Bergamo, which was very easy. We could take the train to Varenna/Bellagio easily, but we did not. We already visited those towns, but we preferred this place. We were looking for peace and to relax, and we found it. We booked one night but extended it to four. Breakfast: we felt treated like a queen and king, perfect. Once we had an excellent dinner, you must book it upfront, or else you will be too late. Room #03, the biggest one, is the one you need: More than excellent. Staff: from Owner, Chef, William, and all other helpers: 100% friendly and correct. Internet perfect. Privacy: 100%, Location 100%. We had to go, or else we would have extended the stay. And when we left, we took the train to Malpensa airport quickly, on time, and without any hassle. Conclusion: we had a perfect stay.

Nothing.

Lovely and cozy place with attentive staff Nice room and facilities

Food was great, however after eating tuna tartar I had an awful food poisoning that started at night and we ended up calling an ambulance the next day as I was sick for over 12hrs (ended up staying an extra night as we couldn't travel, which they have accommodated) That day I have only had half a pizza earlier and nothing else could have caused it. After showing our paperwork from the hospital (where they even written down that tartar was the cause of it) to the manager they responded that it's not possible and their food is prepared with the highest quality standards (and it did look like it in fairness, but accidents happen). That was very disappointing to have our trip ruined like that.

The building and its location are beautiful, but what makes this place exceptional are the genuine kindness and helpfulness of the staff, especially Massimo and William. We felt very welcome and well looked after. Amazing food in the lovely restaurant, too - we had dinner there twice during our three-night stay. And the breakfast (included in the price) was plentiful, tasty, and satisfying. It even included savoury options (cheese and cold cuts) - a rarity in Italy!

Our single beds (two friends travelling together) were rather narrow, but it was fine. Also, sometimes conversations or whistling from the kitchen downstairs could be heard in our room. Even though not perfectly quiet, it kind of added to the atmosphere of the place.

This was the high light of the trip just south of (and out of the craziness of) Lake Como! It should be rated by Michelin as a top restaurant & hotel. The owners Massimo, Catalina & Roberto were exceptionally welcoming. The dinner by Tommy was sumptuous and the service by William was elegant. William was straight out of the movie "The Remains of the Day"...meaning impeccable attention to every detail. Located in the delightful gardens of a 1300 AD monastery with beautifully appointed bedrooms. The loveliness and kindness are not to be missed. If you know anyone with Michelin....have them check it out!

A pretty place adjacent to a river walk, which was pleasant after a long drive. The dinner and breakfast were excellent. The staff were very helpful.

Our Satnav kept telling us we were about to enter a ULEZ zone and needed a carte, which was unnerving. The owner assured us that was not so. Hope he was right but we’d researched the traffic restrictions before returning to the Como/ Levi area.
