Top 34 things to do and attractions in Tremezzina

Nice museum with several exhibits. Also has gorgeous views of lake como. There is also a restaurant to grab some lunch. It was not crowded when we visited also there was no line to buy tickets. Worthwhile visiting the villa.

An absolute architectural, botanical and historical marvel of the last 500 years. The grounds of the villa are absolutely gorgeous - fountains sculptures, and perfectly manicured floral heaven. The garden is truly remarkable with how much variety of plants there are and also the way it's been maintained. For the building itself, nothing short of extraordinary - the design and architecture is impressive. There is so much history and craftsmanship behind this place.

Inside and out Villa Carlotta was a joy to visit. We loved the art work inside the villa. Be sure o look up as many of the rooms are adorned with frescos and or reliefs. The grounds are a botanical wonder with species brought in from around the world.

Must see! Great place to visit, beatiful inside, many sculpture, paintings few rooms with furniture with very great conditions. Amaizing garden around, it takes 2-3 hours to visit and see all villa and garden. Beautyful view from balcony for Como lake.

Beautiful villa with stunning lake views and lush gardens. The inside has some impressive art and sculptures, but the real highlight is walking through the gardens, peaceful and scenic, a perfect spot to slow down and take in the beauty of Lake Como.

Lovely visit especially enjoyed the extensive gardens, agricultural history and interactive commentary in our language about basement life at the Villa. Reasonable €15 entrance (€13 for over 65s) Luggage lockers were helpful. Bistro service for 2 hot drinks was slow on the day(20/8/25) as they seemed short-staffed.

I have no words. Grand, classy, ​​green. Bamboo plants, very tropical. The great beauty of a sea of ​​over 150 species of plants. All this is combined with the view of Lake Como, which is open from almost every point of Villa Carlotta. Very good restaurant.

A beautiful estate with a fascinating walk to and from the site. Definitely touristy but absolutely worth the visit. Be aware: Google’s “mostly flat” description is misleading—you’ll need to tackle some uphill sections, so bring good shoes.

Very beautiful and pristine villa. Everything is very manicured and clean. It is about a 2km walk from the Leno ferry terminal. Definitely some gradients so wear comfortable shoes. This villa is home to famous scenes in Star Wars and also James Bond Casino Royale.

Such an incredible place to visit if you are going to Lago di Como, I would suggest buying the tickets in advance so you can skip the wait, bring comfortable shoes, I wouldn’t recommend heels or anything like that if you do want to enjoy the most hidden places here. Very clean, it takes about 2-3 hours so see and enjoy most of the villa! Is a must!

One word – magnificent. I recommend buying tickets in advance to avoid waiting. We arrived at 10 a.m. and waited about 20 minutes in line. The villa opens at 10:00 a.m. They allow only a limited number of visitors inside, which is great because it’s not overcrowded. The ticket costs €14.

Beautiful Villa... Looked stunning in Casino Royale! In person so much more!!! Tour is a must do to understand the last owner.. ended up buying the book about him. A must visit if in the area.

To reach it, you have to walk about 750-800 meters after parking your car, but believe me, it's worth it 👍I think if you came to visit Lake Como, you should definitely see this place, the entrance fee is 13€ per person, very well preserved, Italian architectural features and the magnificent Como atmosphere, wonderful 👍

Famous from Hollywood-movies this gorgeous villa and surrounding gardens are a must visit when visiting Lake Como. We took the guides tour inside the Villa which was very fascinating. It was very hot and crowded in gardens however, so would recommend to visit off-season and make sure to buy your tickets in advance.

Worth the long hike. Terrific views and lovely Italian atmosphere. Look out for hidden treasures along the path.

Beautiful and very doable little climb past historical UNESCO-protected chapels towards the little church on top, with a great view on Lake Como all along the walk! Also do visit the sweet little restaurant behind the church.

Great views, nice walk up, beautiful chapel

Unique place with hidden treasures.

Good walk, nice views, cool stuff to see all the way up

What a climb! The statues in the chapels are macabre! But views of the lake is spectacular.

A stroll into the spirituality of the ancient catholic culture in stunning landscape scenarios

Lovely islad near Lenno

The island is beautiful, but in my opinion is €6 entrance per person to much for what you get. The church was closed and the old ruins where not accessible even if information signs where inside. Some parts of the old church are behind iron bars which is a pity.

Beautiful to walk around nice people nice food

Glorious!! Beautiful to walk around, take in the views and enjoy a picnic! The cafe and restaurant is very overpriced but the island itself is a treasure not to be missed!

lovely people and food

For the bold & Beautiful

Super

Nice walking trail which includes parts to see above or right next to the lake. Beautiful view, historical buildings, drinking water possiblies, restaurants, swimming possibilities are included.

This is a great hike on mostly paved walkways BUT my husband and I are fit, completed this entire walk in 2ish hours. It definitely has hills with some more strenuous parts. Plenty of viewpoints for rest though! If you want to make this more of a stroll, it will take 3-4 hours. You can begin at different points if you do not want to do all 7ish miles! Be warned haha

Great Hike !! Day 1 we started in Lenno after getting off the Ferry. Stepped onto the Greenway Trail, followed the signs heading North and hiked to Griante or the end of the trail. You can go further and sidewalk tour the Old Villas towards Menaggio but roadwork prevents you from getting through to Menaggio. Day 2 was a longer day, hiking to the start of the trail from the Lenno Ferry and back. This part of the trail is better marked, but a bit more challenging as you climb higher into the villages and enjoy Grand Vistas. A tasty Panini and Gelato is well deserved on the return leg. Va Bene

The perfect stroll for the day when you forget your hiking shoes for more serious trail :) Amazing views especially when the path climbs up away from the lake, Griante to Colonno with pizza/beer lunch break takes easy 5 hours

Beautiful place, and the walk. You can really enjoy places, views and the atmosphere. Path is quite easy, but I think without a children’s trolley.

Day one we started in Cadenabbia and walked to Lenno, returning to Cadenabbia. Day two we took the ferry to Lenno and walked to Colonno before returning. The way is well-marked with metal medallions in the path or signs at turns. We enjoyed seeing staid mansions, bustling commercial corners, statuesque churches, quaint villages and lively playgrounds- with the grand Lake Como in the background. Walking proved to be a great way to see the range of how people occupy this gorgeous part of Italy. Near Colono the trail medallions are more scarce.

Amazing walk along the west side of Lake Como. The views of the lake are fantastic as are the incredible houses and villages you walk by.

Lovely place, lots of tourists but still managed to retain it's charm. We took a train from Milan with a ferry trip included, this was well worth it and we did the tour on the ferry rather than get on get off as we wanted to still have time for Lake Como town before returning to Milan

Absolutely Beautiful and Peaceful! Lake Como is an amazing place to visit. The views are stunning, with mountains, clear blue water, and charming towns all around the lake. It’s a perfect spot to relax, explore, and enjoy nature. The atmosphere is peaceful, the food is delicious, and the people are friendly. Definitely one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been – highly recommended!

Beautiful views and lovely locals. Weather was wonderful for our visit in early October. Lots of floating wood on the lake, but other than that, quite magnificent.

What a wonderful place. No wonder the rich and famous hang out here. Scenery is second to none. Lots of old buildings if one is into that. Has the largest street market that I have seen. Lots of boats for hire to add to the experience

Beautiful and highly recommend. Lake Como felt like stepping into a postcard. The water, the mountains, the tiny cobbled streets… everything is just beautiful. It’s calm, elegant and honestly one of the most romantic places I’ve ever been. I already want to go back ✨💗

Lake Como is a most magical place. It seems as if you are in a completely remote corner of the world, one you never want to leave from. A must visit. There are cafes, restaurants, fresh markets, olive oil and pasta markets galore. All down these one lane cobblestone streets. You turn a corner and it opens into a small square With outdoor cafes setup. The lake is a Beautiful gem, with gorgeous views all around. You are surrounded by mountains and depending on the side you are on, you have a magical view of the Swiss Alps. If you want a Romantic getaway, clean eating, with some of the most melt in your mouth pasta dishes and desserts, you must visit Lake Como.

Beautiful area for a relaxing day out. Take the Funicolare to the top for awesome views of the lake, Switzerland and the mountains!

It’s a very beautiful garden right on the lake. I don’t mind paying 10€ just to walk through the park because it does take some work to maintain the garden. It’s a nice place, there’s a museum too. However you cannot enter the main villa and it’s just not that amazing overall. It’s still a great place to be away from the touristy centro of Bellagio

Nice place to stroll in Bellagio! The garden is super well-kept and even has tropical plants like banana trees 🍌🍌🍌 Great for photos, an afternoon walk, or just to chill after lunch. Worth a visit if you’re around!

Beautiful place for a 45-60 minute walk, to have the full experience. Nice walking paths along the garden with various plants and trees. All this goes along the Como lake waterfront.

Opening hours are daily 10 am to 6:30 pm. The gardens are closed in the winter time. In 2025 it will close on Oct 31st and will reopen in March 2026. Cost is 10€ you buy tickets at the gates. 2 gates entry one on each side. Located in the town of Bellagio on lake como. Parking is limited as the town of Bellagio is very popular in the summer.

The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and so well cared for. Everywhere you look, there’s beautiful greenery and an incredible variety of trees. It’s such a peaceful, stunning place to walk through. If you’re visiting Bellagio, this is a must see. I highly recommend making time for a visit.

Gorgeous gardens with different small hiding places and paths. Beautiful scenery, amazing views, you can really unwind and soothe your soul here. If you're into gardens you can't miss this one. If you're not so much into gardens, you should still visit this one.

Villa Melzi is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited. The gardens are immaculate, peaceful, and filled with stunning colors, especially in spring. Every path reveals something new—ancient trees, vibrant flowers, classical statues, and breathtaking views of the lake. The atmosphere is serene and elegant, perfect for a relaxing stroll or quiet reflection. The neoclassical villa adds a timeless charm, and the small museum and chapel offer fascinating historical insight. The combination of nature, art, and history is truly unique. It felt like walking through a living painting.

The gardens are absolutely stunning and the views of Lake Como are unreal — definitely a must-visit for photo lovers! Dress cute, this place is made for dreamy pics. We bought tickets online and skipped the line. The villa interior isn’t super impressive, but the outdoor beauty makes it 100% worth it.

This is truely a lovely villa. The setting on the north end of Varenna is perfectly quiet. Property is between the road and Lake Como allowing for a magical stroll along the water. The property seemed a little worn. After a couple of days of train the paths suffered from large puddles making passage distracting on some portions. Other features were closed for repairs. The house was a treat and more intimate than some of the other villas we visited. Be sure to visit the exhibit room under the where you'll get your tickets and enter property. They have a fine audio and visual show that allows you to chose topics on the family and property history of the villa as well as the garden and it's flora. We visited in the second half of September but I can imagine Villa Monastero in blume is just amazing.

nice place. if you want to walk through the garden, it is worth spending 2 hours. there is a queue at the popular places to take pictures and you can't even look at it if you don't wait. difficult with a stroller. It's worth going in the morning, there's no line, there are fewer people

One word – magnificent. I recommend buying tickets in advance to avoid waiting. We arrived at 10 a.m. and waited about 20 minutes in line. The villa opens at 10:00 a.m. They allow only a limited number of visitors inside, which is great because it’s not overcrowded. The ticket costs €10

This is the most beautiful place I have ever been on Earth and I mean that. Wow just wow. The gardens are incredibly stunning and well kept and I probably took hundreds of photos here. Do not skip this place if you are in Varenna and spend some time here I promise it’s worth it!!! So much gorgeous scenery it felt like I was inside a pinterest board. If you are walking here from where the ferry drops you off make sure to walk along the path right next to the water with the red fence for some of the best views of the lake and then at the end head up one of the streets/stairs to get to the villa entrance.

We had a fabulous day at Villa Monastero, where every inch felt intentionally designed and beautifully maintained. The atmosphere was serene and tranquil, with stunning architecture all around—the elegant pillars, soaring arches, and vibrant flower displays made it a feast for the eyes. We visited in mid-June, when the temperature reached 34°C, yet there were plenty of shaded spots to pause and enjoy the scenery. One of our favourite moments was sitting at a picnic bench under the shade, having some snacks while taking in the spectacular lake views. The café on site offers refreshments, and there is one toilet for each gender. Both were beautifully prepared and spotless, which was a welcome detail. The combination of breathtaking views, peaceful atmosphere, and architectural beauty made Villa Monastero a truly memorable experience. It’s the kind of place where you can slow down, breathe, and simply enjoy the beauty of Lake Como. Kids go free

Great views over the lake and beautiful gardens! I booked timed entry tickets in advance over the website, which reduced the need to queue to pay for tickets at the entrance. My family enjoyed the walk through the gardens although it could get very hot in the summer! A little crowded on the Sunday we were there.

Such a beautiful place to spend a whole day/night ! Lake, facilities, shower, amazing view of the lake and the villas. I felt in love with this garden/parco

Nice park where people take their time to relax in the trees’ shadow, while the newlyweds have their photoshoots with the Como lake views ;) there’s also a fountain and a coffee shop, so you can simply spend some time watching the boats sailing.

Beautiful park and lake view. In the summer they also host music festival concerts. Day time is a bit overcrowded with teenagers sun bathing and swimming in the lake.

Free parking, perfect for enjoying the lake view! There’s a bar, restrooms available, and a staircase area that’s perfect for taking amazing photos! This Park was featured in my Budget-Friendly Guide to Lake Como! 🗺️Check my profile for more!

Lovely Lakeside grassy morning suntrap area, 100m or so from Tremezzo ferry stop. There is access from the park via steps to get in lake for a dip if you are into that. Lovely to watch across the lake and to see couples having their wedding photos taken

Beautiful park with centuries-old trees. In summer it transforms into a beach, and there’s a corner bar serving food and drinks.

Great little lakeside park with plenty of room, views and a snack bar! We spent a peaceful hour under the shade of trees with some gelato!!

Castello di Vezio is a scenic and well-preserved medieval fortress above Varenna, offering some of the most stunning panoramic views over Lake Como. The climb up is a bit steep, but worth it for the peaceful gardens, the mysterious ghost sculptures scattered around the grounds, and the historic tower with medieval artifacts inside. There’s also a small botanical garden and occasional falconry shows. A perfect mix of history, nature, and quiet charm—highly recommended for a relaxed visit away from the crowds.

Worth the visit. You can drive up close to the castle, with very few spots, still have to walk few minutes. They have senior tickets 4 euro, so that was great. The views are indeed excellent. The owl in the cage is unnerving, not sure why it's there.

Unbeatable panorama views of Lake Como! This is a must visit. The hike up is difficult, 30m of just steep uphill. But it’s well worth it. Came in Sept on weekend and it wasn’t busy at all. Also a very nice cafe and bathroom

A stunning and well-preserved castle. While not particularly large, its simplicity adds to its charm. The hike to reach it took about 45 minutes, but it was absolutely worth it. There is an alternative route for those arriving by car, but I opted to walk for a more authentic experience. The view of Lake Como was indescribable! Visited in September. Entry was €7.

Such a lovely spot with incredible views over Lake Como. The castle itself is full of charm and we even saw a beautiful owl on site, which made the visit extra special. The walk up the hill is a bit steep so you’ll definitely feel it but it’s absolutely worth it once you reach the top!

Amazing views! Absolutely worth going there😍 but the climb to the castle is steep and it takes approximately 30 minutes, so make sure to wear comfortable shoes and have water! in the ticket office you can buy drinks and snacks (we had a very yummy hot chocolate ☺️) and there're places to sit. Moreover, there's a picnic area

The walk up to this castle nearly took my life - however it was MORE THAN WORTH IT and I’d do it again! This castle rocked my world. Atmospheric music playing as we walked up to the top, only to be met with the best view in Italy. When we came down from the castle, we discovered an incredible dungeon - I won’t spoil it but the dungeon is a very spooky highlight that I thoroughly recommend. Overall this castle is worth the pain it takes to get up to it and I highly recommend you make the visit.

Visited the special exhibition on 100 years Hitchcock feat. movies shot at Lake Como incl. Casino Royale and Star Wars. The museum's director even took the time to explain us the history of the lake's villas after the museum had officially closed.

(Translated by Google) For those like me who were born in Como and have lived in Como for almost all the years of their lives, it was a wonderful experience.

Take the worn path on the left as you leave, you’ll thank me later

Impressive old church building and tower.

(Translated by Google) The Church is inside a private structure and therefore we were not able to visit it. Seen from the outside, it is still functional for the tour of the hamlets of Bellagio. (Original) La Chiesa è dentro una struttura privata e quindi non abbiamo potuto visitarla. Vista da fuori è comunque funzionale al giro delle frazioni di Bellagio.

(Translated by Google) The small church, built with stones and pebbles, was built towards the end of the 10th century, while the bell tower was built during the 11th century. Visible from the lake and from the hamlet of Loppia, it is located within a private property and cannot be visited. (Original) La piccola chiesa, costruita con pietre e ciottoli, venne edificata verso la fine del X secolo, mentre il campanile fu realizzato nel corso dell'XI secolo. Visibile dal lago e dalla frazione di Loppia, si trova all'interno di una proprietà privata e non è visitabile.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful place, but it’s not clear how to get to the church. There is a sign in front of the stairs, and at the end of the stairs there is a road and a fence. The gate is closed. Perhaps the church is now closed to visitors. (Original) Красивое место, но не понятно как попасть в церковь. Указатель перед лестницей , а в конце лестницы дорога и забор. Ворота закрыты. Возможно церковь сейчас закрыта для посещений.

(Translated by Google) The building, which is located within a private property, cannot be visited, but its shapes can be seen driving along the provincial road towards Como. With a single nave, with an irregular layout, it ends with a low apse engraved with three splayed single-lancet windows. The façade is devoid of decorations and moved only by the monolithic architrave of the portal and a small cross-shaped window. It is made with stones and pebbles. A female Benedictine monastery was built next to the church, abandoned in the 17th century. At the end of the eighteenth century, the mothers of S. Colombano di Como sold their assets to P. Venini, owner of Villa Giulia. The descendants demolished the monastery in 1804 to create the avenue that led directly from the property to the lake. Too bad it can't be visited! (Original) L'edificio, che si trova all'interno di una proprietà privata non è visitabile, ma le sue forme si scorgono percorrendo la provinciale in direzione Como. Ad unica navata, con andamento irregolare, termina con un'abside bassa incisa da tre monofore strombate. La facciata è priva di decorazioni e mossa soltanto dal monolitico architrave del portale e da una finestrella a croce. È realizzata con pietre e ciottoli. Accanto alla chiesa venne edificato un monastero benedettino femminile, abbandonato nel XVII secolo. Alla fine del Settecento le madri di S. Colombano di Como cedettero i loro beni a favore di P. Venini, proprietario di Villa Giulia. I discendenti abbatterono il monastero nel 1804 per realizzare il vialone che dalla proprietà conduceva direttamente al lago.Peccato che non sia visitabile !

(Translated by Google) Of 3 only because it is never closed to the public it is private but a piece of history can be visited (Original) Di 3 solo perché non è mai chiusa al público è privata ma un pezzo de istorie può essere visitata

(Translated by Google) Too bad the building is not visible from the inside. (Google translation) Too bad the building is not visible internally. (Original) Dommage que l’édifice n’est pas visible intérieurement. (Traduction Google) Too bad the building is not visible internally.

Good observation deck with really beautiful views of Lake Como. There's a stairway to the lake. Around 10 minutes walk from the Bellagio's ferry/boat terminal. Worth a visit. Free of charge. There are some restaurants near it. No public toilet there.

Absolutely beautiful spot! The view of Lake Como from here is breathtaking — peaceful, romantic, and perfect for photos. A must-visit if you’re in Bellagio. Easy to reach, no crowds on weekdays, and completely worth the walk. ✨🇮🇹

Great little picture spot not too crowded the day we went. Lots of uphill climbing and stairs in Bellagio so be ready with some good shoes!

Amazing views of the lake, we were there on a very cloudy day in October, so not the best for photos, but is was worth it . Btw, the 2hr boar ride back to Como is also a delight in any weather.

The go-to place to take photos in Bellagio. Such a beautiful spot. Italy's views are OP

The view is amazing from Punta Spartivento. In october not too many people.

Superb, it was a dream of mine to visit Lake Como and it has come true!! The gardens of Villa Monastero were an oasis of beauty and relaxation❤️ We visited on a Saturday morning, at 10, perfect weather, few visitors, it was a wonderful experience!!!! I was in heaven!

I had such high expectations staying at Villa Serbelloni, but unfortunately the experience was very underwhelming. The one thing that is truly outstanding is the location, it is absolutely beautiful and cannot be faulted. However, for a five-star property, the service and staff experience fell far short. Coming from a five-star hotel in Switzerland just before this stay, the contrast was stark. At Villa Serbelloni, there was no real sense of welcome or warmth, often no greeting, no effort to make you feel special. For example, when sitting by the pool, not even being offered complimentary water when towels are handed out felt surprising and completely unacceptable for a hotel of this level. The staff were not rude, but they were also far from attentive, polished, or genuinely welcoming. And that’s what makes the difference between a hotel simply having five-star facilities versus delivering a true five-star experience. I had been looking forward to this as one of the highlights of our European trip, but sadly it ended up being one of the most disappointing. If what you want from a five-star stay is to feel valued, wowed, and taken care of, this is not the place.

We had an amazing two-day stay at Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni for our honeymoon, and it was truly unforgettable! ❤️ Everything was perfect — the warm hospitality, the breathtaking lake view, and the elegant atmosphere. The hotel beautifully combines classic charm with modern comfort, making it a magical and romantic experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an exceptional stay in Lake Como! ✨

Villa Serbelloni, Lake Como : A Timeless Haven of Luxury Perched gracefully on the shores of Lake Como, Villa Serbelloni epitomizes refined luxury and old-world grandeur. From the moment of arrival, guests are enveloped in an atmosphere of regal elegance, where history and modern comfort coexist in perfect harmony. The interiors exude sophistication, with each space meticulously designed to reflect both heritage and contemporary style. My suite offered the utmost comfort, enhanced by modern amenities and breathtaking views that seemed to merge seamlessly with the lake beyond. Service at Villa Serbelloni is exemplary , attentive yet discreet. Every member of the staff demonstrates genuine warmth and professionalism, ensuring that each guest feels not only welcomed but truly cared for. The breakfast experience deserves special mention: an exquisite array of delicacies enjoyed in a sunlit setting that overlooks the shimmering waters of Lake Como. It felt less like a meal and more like a dream. The views from the property are simply incomparable a living painting of deep blue water framed by majestic mountains. Each moment spent gazing across the lake felt serene and unforgettable. Villa Serbelloni is more than a hotel; it is an experience of timeless beauty and unparalleled luxury. For those seeking the pinnacle of elegance on Lake Como, this magnificent retreat is beyond compare.

My wife and I recently completed a five-night stay at the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni as part of our honeymoon and could not be happier with the experience. The property is stunning, pictures and descriptions simply do not do it justice, and the staff could not have been kinder or more attentive. While Bellagio itself can feel crowded with visitors during the day, the hotel is a serene oasis, allowing guests to enjoy the town at its best in the calm of the mornings and evenings. Our stay was flawless, and we are already looking forward to returning.

By far the best hotel in Bellagio. From the Michelin-starred Mistral restaurant to the elegant rooms, private beach club, and even the famous diving board, every detail is exceptional. The privacy of the property makes it feel truly exclusive, as only guests can enter past the gate. Service was outstanding — Claudio and Luca were especially memorable, and the young gentleman (Claudio’s friend) at Mistral made our dining experience even more special. An unforgettable stay.

We had an amazing time at this hotel. We were there to celebrate my husband’s birthday and the hotel provided some special touches for the occasion. The lake view rooms are breathtaking, the location stunning and eating in the Mistral restaurant on site is a must. This hotel is spectacular and the staff and service was impeccable. Thank you for making our stay so special

The Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni: Redefining hospitality and comfort As a hotel with 5 stars, it shouldn’t surprise you that the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni is known for its high quality dining, pool and lakeside amenities, and beautiful estate. But the reason this hotel is number one on our list in every category is the people who elevate your experience day in and day out. Over the two weeks our family stayed at the Grand Hotel Villa, the high standard set and met by the dedicated and hard working staff was prevalent each and every day. From the concierge, to the waiters, to the pool staff, to the cleaners, the kindness and commitment of this staff team to create a comfortable and welcoming environment made our experience a 10/10. We became especially close with and Annabel, Giuseppe, Samuele, Anna, Emilio, and Oumo, whose hospitality and service made our days on the lake unforgettable. Whether it’s food, facilities, or people, this hotel gets all high marks. Thank you to the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni staff for the lifelong memories.

Nice church with a more modern interior. Stop by and visit it is worth your time.

Worst the visit (5min) as it next right next to the park « Parco Civico Teresio Olivelli »

I did not visit, but the view from the lake is so beaitiful!

(Translated by Google) The church was rebuilt between 1775 and 1778 when the works were interrupted due to the death of the main financiers. The construction resumed almost a hundred years later and ended in 1894. The wall structures are made with rough-hewn blocks of a limestone typical of the Lake Como area called Moltrasio stone. (Original) La chiesa fu riedificata tra 1775 e il 1778 quando i lavori si interruppero a causa della morte dei principali finanziatori. La costruzione ripresa quasi cento anni dopo terminò nel 1894. Le strutture murarie sono realizzate con blocchi sbozzati di una pietra calcarea tipica della zona del lago di Como detta pietra di Moltrasio.

(Translated by Google) 💡 Don't miss the sublime facade of this church overlooking Lake Como! However, the interior isn't necessarily worth the detour. It's located not far from Villa Carlotta. 📖 The Church of San Lorenzo in Tremezzo was built from 1775-1776. Construction wasn't completed until 1894, which explains the rather eclectic architectural style, somewhere between neo-Roman and neo-Gothic. (Original) 💡 Ne ratez pas la sublime devanture de cette église qui surplombe le lac de Côme ! L'intérieur ne vaut cependant pas nécessairement le détour. Située non loin de la Villa Carlotta. 📖 L'église San Lorenzo à Tremezzo a été construite à partir de 1775-1776. La construction ne s'est achevée qu'en 1894, ce qui explique le style architectural assez éclectique, entre néo-romain et néo-gothique.

(Translated by Google) Nice building. But don't go to Tremezzo just for it. There is a restaurant with great ice cream across the road. (Original) Hezká stavba. Jen kvůli ní ale do Tremezza nejezděte. Naproti přes silnici je restaurace se skvělou zmrzlinou.

(Translated by Google) Externally it's eye-catching... internally a little less so. (Original) Esternamente fa dell'occhio... internamente un po meno

Stayed here on a couple of occasions, both conferences. The rooms are comfortable and well equipped. No tv though, but didn't need one since there was Wi-Fi and lots of places to socialize with colleagues. Food is amazing and always followed by strong espresso. Conference facility is also top notch.

Note only open to the public on Thursdays! Don’t have a wasted trip as google opening hours are different - see the sign outside:

Great place with magbificient view at the lake Como. Really enjoyed the seminar here. Will come back as soon as possible

Outstanding place!!!

(Translated by Google) The complex complex of Villa Mylius-Vigoni extends on the edge of the village of Loveno. In 1829, the German entrepreneur Heinrich Mylius began the transformation of an agricultural estate with an eighteenth-century manor house into one of the most fascinating holiday resorts on the Lario. The renovation was entrusted to the Milanese architect Gaetano Besia (1791-1871), who expanded the residence, giving it a Neoclassical style. The interiors are very noteworthy, both for furnishings and works of art, among which various paintings by Francesco Hayez (1791-1882), master of historical Romanticism, stand out. The layout of the park, which extends over five hectares with a difference in height of over 100 metres, is due to the Milanese Giuseppe Balzaretti (1801-1874), a highly regarded interpreter of the landscape garden. Among the minor buildings, the Tempietto stands out, built in 1831 on the edge of the green amphitheater to commemorate the premature death of Milyus' son, with bas-reliefs by B. Thorvaldsen and P. Marchesi inside, and a commemorative inscription inspired by Alessandro Manzoni on the front south. The property, inherited by Ignazio Vigoni (1905-1983), was expanded by the latter by acquiring the underlying Villa Garovaglio, a spectacular eighteenth-century residence. Upon Vigoni's death, in the absence of direct heirs, the complex was donated to the Federal Republic of Germany to honor the memory of the initiator of its development. Today Villa Vigoni is home to a foundation which aims to promote Italian-German relations in the fields of scientific research, higher education, culture and economy. The villa and park are open to the public on set days. Extract from the Guide «Discovering Tremezzina» (Francesco Soletti, Edizioni New Press 2017). (Original) L'articolato complesso di Villa Mylius-Vigoni si stende al margine del borgo di Loveno. È l'imprenditore tedesco Heinrich Mylius nel 1829 ad avviare la trasformazione di una tenuta agricola con casa padronale settecentesca in uno dei più affascinanti luoghi di villeggiatura del Lario. La ristrutturazione viene affidata all'architetto milanese Gaetano Besia (1791-1871), che amplia la residenza improntandola allo stile Neoclassico. Notevolissimi gli interni, tanto per arredi quanto per opere d'arte, tra i quali spiccano vari dipinti di Francesco Hayez (1791-1882), maestro del Romanticismo storico. L'impostazione del parco, esteso su cinque ettari con un dislivello di oltre 100 metri, si deve invece al milanese Giuseppe Balzaretti (1801-1874), apprezzato interprete del giardino paesaggistico. Tra gli edifici minori risalta il Tempietto, costruito nel 1831 a margine dell'anfiteatro verde per ricordare la prematura morte del figlio del Milyus, con bassorilievi di B. Thorvaldsen e P. Marchesi all'interno, e iscrizione commemorativa ispirata da Alessandro Manzoni sulla fronte sud. La proprietà, giunta per eredità a Ignazio Vigoni (1905-1983), viene da questi ampliata acquisendo la sottostante villa Garovaglio, scenografica dimora settecentesca. Alla morte del Vigoni, in assenza di eredi diretti, il complesso viene donato alla Repubblica Federale Tedesca per onorare la memoria dell'iniziatore della sua valorizzazione. Oggi Villa Vigoni è sede di una fondazione che ha lo scopo di promuovere le relazioni italo-tedesche in ambito di ricerca scientifica, istruzione superiore, cultura ed economia. Villa e parco sono aperti al pubblico in giorni prefissati. Estratto dalla Guida «Scoprire la Tremezzina» (Francesco Soletti, Edizioni New Press 2017).

(Translated by Google) Exceptional place for location and care (Original) Luogo eccezionale per posizione e cura

The information on Google is wrong. We walked up to here from the town to find it was closed. Very unhelpful staff who do not update their Google business page.

Great area for a hike. There was sufficient parking at this spot. We went up north on route 4. FYI, once the line becomes dotted on the map the trail becomes adventurous so good to note. Also to reach trail 4a you need to walk further than you might think, there will be signs, you cannot miss it., see photo. We went back down via trail 3 from Barna and this circle route took us about 1,5 hrs.

Get yourself on this hike! We loved it. We headed from Mennagio and took a counterclockwise route, uphill climb through woods and villages, then the excitement of the river and falls. Before downhill to town for a beer. Amazing !

Beautiful waterfalls! We visited only the waterfalls part of Parco Val Sanagra – stunning nature, peaceful atmosphere, and lovely views. Totally worth it!

A wonderful walk with multiple routes to choose. The river has beautiful features and is well worth a visit.

Really beautiful park, but the signaling is a little confusing.

Beautiful walk in the gorge. Beware that it can be quite steep at places and very narrow under the rocks but amazing rock formations. You’re not close to the river in the gorge though but higher up. Further up north, close to the Agriturismo it’s an easier walk and near the river.

Great place for hiking and relax with the sound of water

Very nice but tiring hike. Steep roads and paths.

As others have posted, many reviews do not capture the hike from Tremezzo. Beginning in Tremezzo, it is roughly a 30 minute walk up a bike path to the start of the trail. This walk is uphill in a cobblestone path. The entire hike from the beginning is quite steep, hiking poles would be tremendously valuable for the descent. The path is paved in a light cobblestone that has faded over the years but is still easy to follow. From Tremezzo expect around 4 hours to the peak at a moderate pace. Once you approach the peak you are left at a fork in the road. The first path is nearly a 70 degree angle straight toward the cross and summit (see the second picture) . The second route is a low incline , long switchback that takes quite a bit longer to reach the peak. In our case, we took the straight shot toward the summit. This was the most difficult part of the hike as there really isn't a trail at this point. You're largely holding onto clumps of crabgrass to make the ascent. It is challenging, but the view of the summit is gorgeous. From the summit of monte crocione, you can walk to the mount Tremezzo. Others have mentioned an area to buy drinks and food as well as a car route, perhaps this is near mount Tremezzo but we did not see this whatsoever. The descent was tricky without poles and requires time to avoid falling and the pace is not so fast. In total our time from the ferry, summit, and back was around 7 hours.

Hard work for a competent yet casual hiker. But doable and stunning views along the way, even if you don't want to go all the way to the top. I'd recommend taking at least 3l of water in the Summer!

⚠️: not suitable for children under 12, elderly, people with a physical disability and hikers who have no experience when you want to start via TREMEZZO. (i dont know anything about the other routes, i only judge the route from Tremezzo) Tremezzo has some good parking places for free right from where the route starts. As a hiker with a moderate experience the first 2.5 hours were destroying, almost to the point my group and i gave up. This will be the steepest part. While you climb and sweat like you've never done before, you can enjoy a beautiful overview from lake como and that's something what gives you motivation to keep on going. After these horrendous 2,5 hours of walking the path is only getting better, so dont worry. You pass some beautiful cows along the way and can spot some local houses. after another hour or 2 there is a cave where you have to go trough to continue the walk to the top. before you enter the cave you have the most magnificent view you can have, in my opinion. Passing the cave you will have a zig-zag path where you sometimes pass a fallen tree which crosses the path, you have to climb over these trees. It took us 5.5 hours (with breaks) to reach the top. You have to start really early if you want to get back on a OK time. This hike did costs us 10 hours and loads of pain in our feet, legs. We couldn’t walk afterwards, not a joke. So to all the people who reviewed this as a easy walk, please be realistic it isn’t at all! It was beautiful and really worth it but think 2 times before starting this hike.

Fantastic mountain and easy to find trails from the lake. Great view over lake Como and a refuge to buy food and drinks not to far from the peak.

Great hike with excellent views (also photo of the mountain from Varenna)

Absolutely breathtaking views across Lake Como. The hike is relatively easy but so worth it!

Incredibly beautiful, I hiked up from town using AllTrails app and was the only one on the trail. It had rained the night before and visibility was not good dt the fog, but the fog lifted as I came to the cross and was able to take some pictures w neat fog backdrop. A really calm and relaxing way to see Lake Como from above.

Beautiful and strange place at the same time.. relics of another time and the beautiful view!

The views are amazing! I was surprised that not many people seem to know about this viewpoint. The hike is moderate, I went with my 64 year old mother who struggled at times and I would recommend going with a friend as the dirt track feels pretty secluded and horror movie-esque but once there you will marvel at the view of Menaggio from below

A nice place to walk, nice view from the mountain to Menaggio and a place loaded with memories and emotions from the WWI with the trenches from the war between 1915-1918.

It takes around 80m from menaggio through the woods (medium difficulty but not many signs) or you can drive there through the hamlet Croce. The view is very nice and there are some world war 1st army positions.

Easy to reach and good for everyone. During the uphill it is possible to see also world war trenches and the view at the top is incredible.

Well sign posted hike, that was pretty easy to traverse. The view at a few points on the way up is nice but the view from the top is brilliant. Love the world war heritage trenches up the top, very interesting. Would recommend, although in the wet could prove slippery

Not open for public?

(Translated by Google) Magical place, beautiful view of the Tremezzina and Comacina Island, easily reachable from Ossuccio or from the path that goes up to the Madonna del Soccorso. Too bad for the rare openings only during the days of the FAI owner of the site. (Original) Luogo magico, bellissima vista sulla Tremezzina e Isola Comacina, facilmente raggiungibile da Ossuccio o dal sentiero che sale alla Madonna del Soccorso. Peccato per le rare aperture solo in occasione delle giornate del FAI proprietario del sito.

(Translated by Google) I climbed the rescue tower on the occasion of the autumn fair openings from here the landscape is enchanting you can admire the Comacina island and the whole lake.. The interior of the tower is unfurnished and can be climbed with stairs suitable for almost everyone except the last one which is made of iron and requires a bit of agility.. (Original) Sono salito sulla torre del soccorso in occasione delle aperture del fai di autunno da qui il paesaggio è un incanto si può ammirare l'isola Comacina e tutto il lago.. L'interno della torre e senza arredamento si sale con delle scale adatte a quasi tutti tranne l'ultima che e di ferro e ci vuole un po' di agilità..

(Translated by Google) The Tower of Ossuccio known as the Barbarossa Tower is a monument of medieval origin in Moltrasio stone hidden among the vegetation 400 meters above the lake. It dates back to the Lario Lario fortified system and would have acquired further importance in the municipal period, when the structure overlooking the Zoca de l'Oli had assumed interest as a lookout point, as well as a defense point. Now owned by the FAI, it can be visited on dedicated days or by reservation. (Original) La Torre di Ossuccio detta del Barbarossa è un monumento di origine medioevale in pietra di Moltrasio nascosto tra la vegetazione a 400 metri sopra il lago. Risalirebbe al sistema fortificato del Lario tardo romana e avrebbe acquisito ulteriore importanza nel periodo comunale, quando la struttura a picco sulla Zoca de l'Oli aveva assunto interesse come punto di avvistamento, oltre che di difesa. Ora proprietà del FAI è visitabile nelle giornate dedicate o su prenotazione.

(Translated by Google) In the municipality of Ossuccio we find the Barbarossa tower. The tower can be reached from the town on foot via a path immersed in a path. The tower, being an asset, can only be visited in certain periods and is not always open to the public. Once you arrive at the tower, going up to the terrace you can enjoy a breathtaking view from which you can admire Lake Como and in particular the Comacina island which is just a few steps away (Original) Nel comune di ossuccio troviamo la torre del barbarossa. La torre si raggiunge dal paese a piedi tramite un percorso immerso in un sentiero. La torre essendo un bene fai si puo visitare solo in alcuni periodi e non e sempre aperta al pubblico. Una volta arrivati alla torre, saliti sulla terrazza si puo godere di un panorama mozzafiato dalla quale si puo ammirare il lago di como e in particolare l'isola comacina che si trova da li pochi passi

(Translated by Google) The Spurano Tower is a medieval construction erected on probable Roman foundations, dating back to the time when the underlying Comacina island was a military stronghold and its gulf a natural port for the fleet that guarded this stretch of lake. The Tower has been the property of the FAI (Italian Environment Fund) since 2011 and has a probable future as a visitor center for this natural wonder: centuries-old plants, hundreds of which dot meadows with varied blooms; ancient stone cottages and small farms; oak woods and patches of rocky vegetation; birds of prey such as the black kite and colorful migrants such as the hoopoe. The view from the upper terrace is unforgettable, extending to all the beauties that have made Tremezzina famous, with an unparalleled view of the most singular, the Comacina Island. To reach the Tower you go up from Ossuccio (via Torre) or from the ancient Via Regina which runs at the foot of the olive groves. Extract from the Guide «Discovering Tremezzina» (Francesco Soletti, Edizioni New Press 2017). (Original) La Torre di Spurano è costruzione medievale eretta su probabili fondamenta romane, risalente al tempo in cui la sottostante isola Comacina era un caposaldo militare e il suo golfo un porto naturale per la flotta che sorvegliava questo tratto di lago. La Torre è dal 2011 proprietà del FAI (Fondo Ambiente Italiano) e ha probabile futuro come centro visita di questa meraviglia naturalistica: piante secolari, che a centinaia punteggiano prati dalle variegate fioriture; antichi rustici di pietra e piccoli poderi; boschi di roverella e macchie di vegetazione rupestre; uccelli rapaci come il nibbio bruno e variopinti migratori come l'upupa. Indimenticabile è il panorama dalla terrazza superiore, esteso a tutte le bellezze che hanno reso celebre la Tremezzina, con visione impareggiabile della più singolare, l'Isola Comacina. Per raggiungere la Torre si sale da Ossuccio (via Torre) o dall'antica Via Regina che corre al piede degli oliveti.

(Translated by Google) It's a shame that it's only open a few times a year, from the top you can enjoy an excellent view, and to reach it you have to take a short and beautiful walk in the woods. (Original) Peccato che sia aperto poche volte all'anno, dalla cime si gode di un ottimo panorama, inoltre per raggiungerla bisogna fare una piccola e bella passeggiata nel bosco.

(Translated by Google) The small church which stands next to the Villa Carlotta complex and of which it was once part, was built by the Marquises Clerici and dedicated to St. Francis Xavier. Maps and historical documents report its characteristics and list the assets it contains. In the early 1600s it was embellished with some canvases painted by some of the most renowned Lombard artists of the period and depicting various moments in the life of the Saint. The altarpiece was created by Legnanino, the side paintings by F. Abbiati and P. Cazzaniga respectively. They are currently on display, after restoration, at the Villa Carlotta museum which is dedicating an ad hoc exhibition to the Marquises Clerici. The ownership of the small church (oratory) subsequently passed to the Sommariva family and the last heir completely transformed it according to neoclassical taste around the middle of the 19th century, making it the burial place of her loved ones. The oratory is thus decorated with a beautiful ceiling, statues in Carrara marble are placed, as well as memorial plaques and funerary monuments dedicated to Sommariva father and son, a "Pietà" in marble by Cacciatori replaces the altarpiece by Legnanino, the The altar contains a beautiful bas-relief of the "Nativity". Over time the property still changes hands and is currently owned by the Diocese of Como which carried out the restoration a few years ago. Contact Villa Carlotta for information on openings and times.. (Original) La chiesetta che sorge accanto al complesso di Villa Carlotta e di cui un tempo era parte, fu edificata dai marchesi Clerici e dedicata a S. Francesco Saverio. Mappe e documenti storici ne riportano le caratteristiche e elencano i beni in essa contenuti. Nei primi anni del '600 viene impreziosita con alcune tele eseguite da artisti lombardi tra i più rinomati del periodo e raffigurano diversi momenti della vita del Santo. La pala d'altare fu realizzata dal Legnanino, le tele laterali rispettivamente da F. Abbiati e da P. Cazzaniga. Attualmente sono esposte, dopo un restauro, presso il museo di Villa Carlotta che dedica ai marchesi Clerici una mostra ad hoc. La proprietà della chiesetta (oratorio) passa successivamente alla famiglia Sommariva e l'ultima erede la trasforma completamente secondo il gusto neoclassico a metà circa dell'800, facendone il luogo di sepoltura dei suoi cari. L'oratorio viene così decorato con un bellissimo soffitto, vengono poste statue in marmo di Carrara, oltre a lapidi ricordo ed ai monumenti funebri dedicati a Sommariva padre e figlio, una "Pietà" in marmo opera del Cacciatori sostituisce la pala del Legnanino, l'altare raccoglie un bellissimo bassorilievo della "Natività ". Nel tempo il bene passa ancora di mano ed attualmente risulta di proprietà della Diocesi di Como che ha provveduto al restauro qualche anno fa.
