Tremezzo

Welcome to Tremezzo,

touristy resort that spreads out from the hills, at the foot of Monte Procione, to the lakefront where the elegant villas and luxurious villas are located.

 

This town is situated on the western shore of the lake, just a few kilometres away from Menaggio, overlooking the centre lake and Grigne mountains.

Tremezzo has a quite mild climate, certainly thanks to lake but also to the mountains in the background that protects the town from the currents of cold air. And for this reason it has become an international touristic destination. Many famous people have stayed here in the past, like Giuseppe Verdi, the Queen Victoria, the Kaiser Guglielmo II and Greta Garbo.

Some of the most beautiful villas of Lake Como are situated here in Tremezzo: in the 17th century Villa Carlotta, surround by beautiful Italian gardens, are masterpieces of Art and Architecture; Villa La Quiete, called La Gioconda, built in the 18th century was the residence of the abbot-poet Giuseppe Parini; and then Villa La Carlia projected at the end of the 17th century by Antonio De Carli.

In the little village of Bolvedro you can visit the church of San Lorenzo, then moving towards Rogaro you’ll see the ancient medieval tower and the church of Santa Maria containing the black Virgin Mary.

Nearby you can visit Ossuccio, with the Sanctuary della Vergine del Soccorso, then you can set out on trips on the beautiful shores of Griante Cadenabbia and Lenno and then visit the enchanting Villa Balbianello and Isola Comacina.
