Grand Hotel Tremezzo
The stately palace
Midway down the southwestern arm of Italy’s sublime Lake Como is the town of Tremezzo — just one of many spectacular towns by the water, it’s as stunning as any of them, and is home to something rather impressive: the Grand Hotel Tremezzo.
This is a grand hotel in every sense, having more in common with the stately palaces on Lake Geneva than with the trademark Italian villa hotel. Twelve acres of parkland surround the century-old building, and a hundred massed windows face out over the lake; every room overlooks either the park or the waters of Lake Como.
