Tremezzina: villages, villas and gardens on Lake Como

Tremezzina is one of the most picturesque areas of Lake Como. Along its shoreline, small villages, historic hamlets, lush gardens and elegant residences overlook the water. Framed by the mountains, the landscape offers magnificent views across the central lake and towards the Bellagio peninsula.

Villa Carlotta, in Tremezzo, is an elegant 17th-century residence housing important works of art, including sculptures by Antonio Canova and paintings by Francesco Hayez. The villa is surrounded by a magnificent botanical garden arranged over several levels. In spring, the spectacular blooming azaleas and rhododendrons transform the grounds into an explosion of colour.

Villa del Balbianello enjoys a spectacular setting at the tip of the Lenno peninsula, almost entirely surrounded by the waters of the lake. It is renowned for its terraced gardens, romantic panoramic loggia and collections connected with the travels of explorer Guido Monzino. Its beauty has also made it the setting for famous international films, including Star Wars and Casino Royale.

During your holiday at CaFelicita, you can devote a full day to discovering Tremezzina, travelling there by boat. The cruise is an essential part of the experience, offering a privileged view of the villas, villages and mountains while you enjoy Lake Como at a relaxed pace and without having to worry about the car.
