A trip around Lake Como is what is needed for those who love nature and sumptuous buildings from times gone by. There are splendid villages that stand on its banks, all rich in an artistic, cultural, historical and landscape heritage worthy of our beautiful country. From the main cities such as Como and Lecco, to the smaller and less known towns which however hide unique gems. All united by the charm of Como characterized by flower gardens, woods, inlets, valleys, prestigious villas and medieval architecture.

Tremezzo is known as “the village of gardens”, it best represents the most authentic expression of the villages of Lake Como. Its name means “middle ground” and is due to its position, exactly halfway between the Swiss Canton of Grisons pass and the Po Valley. This town is ideal for finding some peace in the countryside. The palaces, churches and villas that enrich its architectural and artistic value are all to be admired, such as Villa Carlotta and its beautiful and well-kept Italian garden, Villa Carlia, the Grand Hotel Tremezzo and the Church of San Lorenzo.

The municipality of Menaggio is located on the western shore of the lake, at the mouth of the valley that bears the name of the town. It is easily reachable by boat from Varenna or Bellagio.
