One of the oldest hotels in the area, the liberty-style Grand Hotel Tremezzo is an authentic Art Nouveau palace immersed in a beautiful century-old park, with a blaze of flowers and plants that bestows a sensation of harmony and tranquillity in every season.

Inside, the atmosphere is sublime (as are the delights of the vast, award-winning, three-storey T Spa; the ultra-deluxe Rooftop Suites; and the period décor). But let’s face it, you’re on the edge of Lake Como, so you’ll want to explore the lake itself, the hotel’s private beach and endless activities – simply sublime.
