Take in Tremezzo

Tremezzo is set in western Lake Como. The town is famous for its panoramic views of the nearby mountains. You’ll find large villas with grand gardens along the lakefront promenade. For adventures on foot, you can take a stroll along the town’s walking trails. You’ll also find a pebble beach, volleyball court, and bars at the local park, Tremezzo Parco Mayer. It’s easy to access surrounding towns, including Bellagio and Varenna, by ferry.

Around town

Tremezzo may be smaller than towns like Bellagio, but it's full of charm. You’ll discover cobbled hillside stairways that lead to the main lake road. Around town, you can buy gifts, including the famous Lake Como cake, sample wines, and eat authentic Italian food such as foiolo at a local trattoria. You might like to simply stroll around town and soak up some sun, but don’t forget to try some gelato. Gelato with strawberries, or Fragole con Gelato, is very popular here.

Visit the villas

Tremezzo is popular for tours of historic villas as there are so many of them dotted across the rural landscape. You can set off on a tour of Villa Carlotta, an opulent mansion dating back to the 1700s. Many of the villas have garden tours with a wide variety of Italian flora and fauna on display like camellias and rhododendrons. For great lake views, don’t forget to climb to the top of Villa Carlotta’s hillside gardens.
