Grand Hotel Tremezzo, Lake Como, Italy

Como is the “capital of the lake”. Its historic core is revealed in the original Roman fort, later on surrounded by medieval walls and imposing watchtowers. Lake Como is within easy reach, just under a 1 hour drive from Milan Malpensa, from the Swiss border and from all the most important international airports of the area Milan Linate, Bergamo Orio al Serio and Lugano Agno. Guests are welcomed by Grand Hotel Tremezzo staff on their arrival at the various airports before a comfortable transfer. Driving along the panoramic road overlooking the shore of the lake, a classic ride through one of the longest tunnel just outside Lecco on the way to Bellagio, you will enjoy a wonderful journey and spectacular views of the mountains, the valleys historical houses and the villages by the water.

Do not miss a stroll through the picturesque alleys of the village, then a walk in the freshness of Mayer Park where a scene from Star War Episode II is set. Villas are the most luminous pearls of the lake: Villa Carlotta, Villa Melzi, Villa Monastero, Villa Olmo, Villa del Grumello all are wonderful opportunities to go back in time and rediscover their heritage. For over centuries the beauty of Lake Como has seduced and inspired the great directors who filmed here numerous scenes of their most famous movies. Feel like a celebrity and visit by private hotel’s limo-boat RUY Villa Balbianello, famous for several film scenes. Villa Balbianello is within a 10-minute boat ride from Hotel Tremezzo. Discover the beauty of its gardens, the history inside the villa as well as scenes from “A month by the lake”, “Star Wars” and even the James Bond film “Casino Royale”- the first kiss between Daniel Craig and Bond girl Eva Green in the garden of the 18th century mansion.

Feel like an aristocrat and arrive at Villa Sola Cabiati by hotel’s private limo-boat 2 minutes ride from Hotel’s marina. A marriage of aristocratic elegance and superb Italian hospitality The Grand Hotel Tremezzo has access to Villa Sola Cabiati, a magnificent 18th century villa and beloved summer residence of the noble Serbelloni family. This is an exclusivity for its guests. A splendid location for that very special moment, whether it’s a birthday party, a wedding or an anniversary. The second and third floor interiors are decorated with exceptional refinement, frescoes by famous artists including a marvellous collection of period furniture, including Napoleon Bonaparte and Josephine de Beauharnais’ bedroom. Unfortunately, both floors are not accessible to the public. They remain private for the owner’s use, reason for which the visitors are “only” allowed to enjoy the ground floor where past and present will combine to create the perfect moment.

I would strongly recommend to visit the beautiful and magnificent Grand Hotel Tremezzo in the heart of Lake Como, from early March until beginning of autumn.

Follow recommendations from this blog and you will experience that romantic atmosphere, the most amazing views at breakfast or from the terrace of your room, the local cuisine and the charm of the ancient villas and villages.
