We arrived here in pouring rain and when we left 2 days later it was still raining - and it hadn't stopped in between. Probably not the best circumstances to review an hotel in the mountains!
We were also the only guests in the hotel so this was an out of this world experience.
So... Zone is a pretty village about 6 km. from Lake Iseo, itself one of the more relaxed Lakes and very scenic. The hotel has been run by the same family for about 40 years and they are very helpful and take their role of patrons very seriously. Food is solidly reliable, especially the home made pastas - they are refreshingly honest about which are home made and which are not. Wine list is strong on local Franciacorte wines although vintages are often inaccurate - I'm a bit geekish about these things being a wine merchant. Breakfasts are basic - ask for fresh coffee not the instant stuff out of the self service machine. Rooms are cheap (60E per night) and very clean with access out onto a communal terrace however furnishings and facilties are very simple and a tad dull. Decent bathrooms. Nice open fire in the lounge/reception area.

Booked via itwg.com. Drove there, just when you think you got lost at the end of a village there is the hotel (no signs on building, looks like a large farm/family house). Room and bath simple but clean. Breakfast nice. Great food in the restaurant at night. Great place to explore Lake Iseo if you got car. Quite cheap.
