In a sunny corner of the landscape of Valsassina, in Lecco's Pre-Alps, lies Maso Zambo, there is a sophisticated agritourism centre inspired by the mountain farmsteads of the Alto Adige region, an area particularly loved by owner Stefano Zambon. The estate consists of a farmhouse, barn, stables, clearings and pastureland. Maso Zambo is also involved in a range of different activities, with its accommodation facility of two cosy and elegant rooms, a 'country' restaurant offering modern dishes with local ingredients, a farm that grows vegetables, red fruits and aromatic herbs, a menagerie of donkeys, hens and bees, and last but not least the well-equipped modern spa.
An undisputed attraction of this secret corner of paradise is the Finnish sauna with the intense aroma of the Swiss stone pine that lines its walls and radiates antibacterial, heart-relaxing and all-round therapeutic properties. Stefano invites guests to indulge in true moments of relaxation in harmony with this space and its natural surroundings, and, in line with Nordic philosophy, strictly without swimming costumes, on benches protected by towels, and in complete silence.
After the sauna, it is recommended to cool the body with the ice cold of the evocative waterfall, or under the Kneipp jet of cold water to invigorate the circulation. To conclude, Maso Zambo offers guests its herbal tea room with infusions to be enjoyed on the fir wood beds or on the scenic solarium immersed in the woods of Valsassina. With a prior booking, guests can enjoy being pampered by the skilful hands of professional masseurs, who offer personalised treatments with many beneficial effects for the mind and body, including the removal of toxins, purification, hydration and the elasticity of the skin, reducing muscular tensions and a draining energising of the lymphatic system.
Far from the hustle and bustle of city life, but just 50 minutes from Milan and 30 minutes from the shores of Lake Como, visitors to Maso Zambo can enjoy close contact with nature in a contemplative silence that is assured by the limited numbers permitted at any time, with the addition of all the exclusive services provided at the farm.
