Hotel Review
Grand Hotel Tremezzo, Tremezzina, Lake Como
WHAT WE LOVE...
Stylish, sophisticated, and oh-so-dolce vita, the Tremezzo is one of the most fashionable places to be on glamorous Lake Como. Its floating swimming pool is the stuff of dreams, complete with a sandy beach where you can sip cocktails and watch the sun paint the lake pink. At the back of the property, you'll find lush gardens harbouring a wonderful swimming pool, floodlit clay tennis court and panoramic path that winds up a hill side. The honey-hued Art Nouveau palazzo has elegant interiors with bold and lively colour schemes with a vibrant, youthful flavour. There are five restaurants and bars, and an outstanding spa where you'll be pampered from head to toe.

THE DETAILS
Location
Wonderful views open up in front of you as the lift from the lakefront road takes you to the ground floor reception.
The hotel is on the western shore. You can reach many lakeside destinations from Cadenabbia, a 10-minute walk away.
By plane: there are direct flights to Milan Malpensa from London (1 hours 50 mins) and Manchester (2 hours 15 minutes). The hotel is a 2-hour drive from the airport. On site parking. skyscanner.net
Style & Character
Perfect for young, hip couples looking for elegance and sophistication coupled with a heavy dose of style and glamour. While it's steeped in history and tradition, this is a family-owned hotel that is everything but stuffy. We love the youthful décor and the sophisticated yet laidback ambience.
Service & Facilities
The luxuriant gardens at the back are a tropical paradise, with an undulating hillside carpeted in lush greenery. The lake views from the sauna wow too.

Rooms
The Rooftop Front Suites spoil with their gorgeous terraces with whirlpool tubs facing the lake. Tucked away on the top floor, they offer plenty of privacy and come with private butler service. The lake views are simply divine, although you won't be disappointed with a garden facing room either - the lush grounds burst with flora.
