At Tremezzo, there’s sand at the lido, hotel boats at the jetty and a short walk to the Bellagio ferry. A night for 2 starts at €996 in early April 2027; I’d put the car keys away and keep the days for the lake.

All about Tremezzo (4)

Is it for you?

For time on the terrace with a tub and the lake ahead, I’d book the Rooftop Front Suite: 30 m² outside and 60 m² indoors. For the floating pool, head downstairs and cross the Regina road.

I’d ask for
The Rooftop Front Suite with its 30 m² terrace and tub.
Worth knowing
Rooms at the front have the road below their windows; ask which floor you would be on.

Like a regular

The view down onto the lido with its orange parasols, the floating pool and the lake with the mountains
  1. Lake or park

    For the lake I would ask for a Lake View Deluxe: 40 m² on a corner of the palace, with 2 views of the lake. If quiet matters more, the Park View Deluxe is the same size, with a bow window over the park.

  2. March or July

    I’d look at 18–24 March 2027: a single night for 2 costs €1,010 to €1,042. From 2 June to 11 July no night drops below €1,980, and Friday 2 July costs €4,290.

  3. On top of the rate

    Tremezzina set its tourist tax for 2024 at €5 per person per night in 5-star hotels, from 1 March to 30 November, for 7 consecutive nights at most, paid when the stay ends. At T Spa the Hammam Ritual is €250 for 60 minutes.

  4. The path to the Belvedere

    The hotel invites a morning stroll along the park’s path, past azaleas and olive trees, to its Belvedere over Varenna and Bellagio, where Bobo the bear, its mascot, waits.

What Tremezzo is

At Grand Hotel Tremezzo the pool floats on the lake. Walk down from the palace, cross the Regina road and you are already in the water, Bellagio on the far shore and the ferries gliding past. A few steps, and the hotel has become a day on the lake.

The 1910 palace still has everything a grand hotel promises: salons, terraces and a 2-hectare park climbing to Villa Emilia, an eighteenth-century villa that now holds the spa. Its 5 places to eat run from pizza by the lido to Gualtiero Marchesi’s cooking, still served here.

Here you choose a room by its outlook: lake or park changes the stay more than the category, and on the front the road runs right below. Then come the Rooftop suites, with terraces and tubs, and beside them the rest of the hotel feels like the supporting cast.

If the day were mine to plan: Villa Carlotta on foot in the morning, a boat in the afternoon and an aperitivo at T Bar as Bellagio switches on its lights across the water.

One Lume

Lumina Guide 2027

Gives more than the other hotels of its place and price range.

At Grand Hotel Tremezzo, a 1910 palace on Lake Como, the pool floats on the water with Bellagio opposite, and the day is spent between the lido, the vintage boats and the spa in Villa Emilia.

How Lumi are awarded
  • Guests

    239 reviews read: the location pleases more than 9 guests in 10 who mention it, the room nearly 9 in 10.

  • Critics

  • Ours (exceptional)

    The Rooftop suites have a terrace and a tub, the 5 places to eat run from pizza on the lido to Gualtiero Marchesi’s cooking, the Piscina dei Fiori sits among the palms and Villa Carlotta is 5 minutes away on foot.

Our reading, point by point

  1. Location

    Right on the shore: the ferry pier 3 minutes away, Villa Carlotta 5, Bellagio straight ahead. The lake alone fills the day.

  2. Rooms

    The lake-view rooms and Rooftop suites are reason enough to come. Lake or park, and the floor, matter more than the category.

  3. Food and social life

    5 places to eat, from Marchesi to pizza on the lido. When the hotel is full, tables need booking well ahead.

  4. Wellness

    3 ways into the water: the park villa’s infinity pool and hammam, the Piscina dei Fiori among the palms, and the pool floating on the lake.

  5. The stay as a whole

    At its best when the lake is the trip: couples, spa, villas, Bellagio.

What makes it rare

A badge is an experience travellers look for, that is really here and that few hotels in the guide have.

  • A story inside

    Here: a 1910 grand hotel that has stayed one, with 2 signatures: the floating pool and the vintage boats.

    A history that goes back to at least 1910. 27 hotels of 594 hold it.

239 guests said so on Google, from 1 November 2024 to 26 October 2026. Google reviews with text from 2024-10-28 to 2026-10-28; up to the latest 500 within that period. The other hotels are the ones weighed for a stay on Lake Como: for each we read its latest 500 Google reviews with text, or all of them where there are fewer, as of 29 October 2026. The score is the average of what they say, from 0 if they speak of it very badly to 10 if they speak of it very well. Where only a few mention something, the score stays close to the guide’s average: a handful of voices does not make a reputation.

The hotels we weigh it against on Lake Como:

  • Villa d'Este
  • Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni
  • Grand Hotel Victoria Concept & Spa
  • Mandarin Oriental, Lago di Como
  • Passalacqua

Price: for 2, the night of 20 March 2027, from €998 on Google Hotels on 13 October 2026.

What a night costs, season by season

A single night for 2 starts at €991 between 12 March and 20 April 2027, then at €1,010 between 21 April and 13 May. For high summer I’d look from 1 August onwards: almost every night through 25 September is €1,760.

Tremezzo, Villa d’Este or Passalacqua

Tremezzo for a beach on the lake, with Bellagio a short boat ride away; Villa d’Este for the larger hotel at Cernobbio, where a pool floats on the lake too and Como is 14 minutes away by car; Passalacqua, the same owners’ villa at Moltrasio, for the smallest of the 3 and gardens kept for those who sleep there. Anyone set on swimming in the lake itself should know that Passalacqua has 2 pools and neither a beach nor a platform.

What to expect

4 things decide the stay: the water, the park, the room and the table.

An orange-striped parasol and 2 T Beach loungers on the shore, with the lake and hills behind

A drawing room on the water

Water On the Water, the T Beach lido, the marina’s vintage boats: days here are spent at water level.

The frescoed salon of the T Spa in Villa Emilia, with 2 pale armchairs and French windows onto the lake

A villa for the spa

T Spa has Villa Emilia, in the park, to itself; the other 2 pools are among the flowers and on the lake.

Lake or park

Outlook, floor and terrace make the room, more than the name of the category.

Good to know before you book

  • The Regina road runs between the palace and the lido, right under the front rooms’ windows: when you book, ask which floor you will be on.

  • The hotel sleeps through the winter: it reopens in March and closes in the first days of November. On 27 September 2026 the last night on sale was 1 November, and the first of 2027 was 12 March.

  • Easy to confuse: T Spa is in Villa Emilia, up in the park; Water On the Water, the floating pool in front of the palace, is out on the lake.

  • When the hotel is full, book tables, treatments and sunbeds well ahead. One bar customer writing in August 2026 describes waiting more than 30 minutes for drinks.

  • Before you choose your dates, see what a night costs on Lake Como, month by month.

Around the hotel

The car can stay where it is: Villa Carlotta is a walk away, Bellagio a ferry ride, the other villas a boat trip.

The lake begins outside the door.

The shore, Villa Carlotta, T Spa and the hotel’s 5 restaurants, all a few minutes apart on foot.

A day at Grand Hotel Tremezzo

The morning

On foot to Villa Carlotta

About 5 minutes from the door: the villa’s rooms and its botanical garden, which keep opening days and hours of their own.

12 noon

Lunch down at the lido

Weather permitting, Da Giacomo al Lago serves lunch from noon to 4pm.

The afternoon

A boat from the jetty

Ruy, Batt and Pupa, the hotel’s 3 Venetian launches, go out with a captain, towels and a bottle of wine on board, for as long as you wish; each tour starts and ends at the hotel’s marina.

5pm

Up to Villa Emilia

T Spa is open from 9am to 8pm to guests aged 16 and over; its infinity pool is indoors, behind doors that fold back entirely and close on cooler days.

Sunset

Aperitivo among the candles

On T Bar’s terrace the candles are lit as the sunset colours the Grigne; the bar pours from 10am to 1am.

7.30pm

Dinner on Marchesi’s terrace

La Terrazza Gualtiero Marchesi serves dinner from 7.30 to 10.30pm and gives its dress code as «Elegant»; afterwards the piano plays at T Bar, as it does every night.

Frequently asked questions

Dogs, the spa, the pools, the season, weddings: what is worth knowing before you book.

Are dogs allowed at Grand Hotel Tremezzo?

Yes, according to almost every source read on 27 September 2026. Booking.com allows pets at no extra charge, with bowls and a bed; Mr & Mrs Smith speaks of small pets, kept on a lead in common areas and out of the bars, restaurants, pool areas and spa, with dog walking and dog-sitting on request; and the hotel’s own booking system describes the Terrace Garden Suite as suited to pets too. 2 sources go their own way: Expedia lists pets as not allowed, service animals excepted, and the iCastelli listing mentions a supplement.

When does Grand Hotel Tremezzo open and close?

From March to early November, though the hotel publishes no dates. On 27 September 2026 its booking system sold the night of 1 November 2026 but not those of 2 and 14 November, and Google Hotels showed no price from 2 November to 11 March; both were selling again from the night of 12 March 2027. In recent years it reopened on 21 March 2025 and 19 March 2026. Re-checked on 15 October 2026, the hotel’s booking system still sells the night of 1 November 2026 but not 2 November, and sells the night of 12 March 2027. For autumn and winter the official site offers Villa Sola Cabiati, the hotel’s 6-suite villa, let as a whole.

Where is Grand Hotel Tremezzo, and are the rooms quiet?

In Tremezzina, on Lake Como’s western shore, with Bellagio straight across the water. The hotel’s current contact page gives Via Statale 5401, 22016 Tremezzina; its legal page says Via Regina 8. As for quiet, it depends on the side: the front rooms have the road below their windows, the park-facing ones a more sheltered outlook. The hotel publishes no noise measurements and does not promise every room the same quiet.

How much does a night at Grand Hotel Tremezzo cost?

On Saturday 20 March 2027 a night for 2 adults is €1,042; Friday 2 July reaches €4,290, and from 1 August to 25 September almost every night is €1,760. For 10 April the hotel’s own listing is €1,100 a night. The calendar has no prices from 2 November 2026 to 11 March 2027. Prices from Google Hotels, read on 1 November 2026.

Where is T Spa in relation to the hotel?

In the park, in Villa Emilia, an eighteenth-century villa you reach by walking up from the palace. The Water On the Water floating pool, in front of the palace, is somewhere else entirely.

Is the T Spa included for hotel guests?

Yes. The infinity pool and the thermal area come with your stay: rates on the hotel’s booking system include “access to all the facilities”, and the March 2026 T Spa menu puts no price on entry. Treatments, the Hammam Ritual, €250 for 60 minutes, and the private Spa Suite are extra. Entry is from age 16, from 9 am to 8 pm, and it pays to book a time in the thermal area.

Is the T Spa open to non-guests?

If you are not staying here, I would ask T Spa which facilities the treatment includes before booking. On the 2026 menu a 50-minute massage costs €200.

Are the pools heated, and when are they open?

Partly, and the hotel publishes the temperature of none of the 3. The T Spa infinity pool is indoors, with glass doors that fold back onto the lake: Luxe Wellness Club (June 2026) gives it as 30 °C all year, and it is open from 9 am to 8 pm to guests aged 16 and over. The Flowers Pool, in the garden, is outdoors and heated according to Little Emperors. On the WOW, the pool floating on the lake, sources split: Little Emperors (October 2024) says it is unheated, 2 undated blogs that it is heated. All 3 follow the hotel’s season, for which it publishes no dates: on 13 October 2026 Google Hotels showed no price from 2 November 2026 to 11 March 2027. Booking.com lists 2 indoor pools and one outdoor, all open all year and to all ages; the hotel itself describes one indoor and 2 outdoor, the spa is for 16 and over, and the hotel closes in winter.

How do you reach Villa Carlotta?

On foot, in about 5 minutes. The villa and its botanical garden keep their own opening days and hours, published on the villa’s website; dogs may enter the park on a lead.

Can you visit Bellagio without a car?

Yes: the ferry leaves from the Villa Carlotta pier, about 3 minutes’ walk away, and crosses to Bellagio. Sailings change with the season and are published by Navigazione Laghi.

Which room should you choose?

A lake view if the lake is the trip, a park view if quiet matters more: the road runs below the front windows. Then the floor and the terrace: the Rooftop suites have terraces of 25 to 40 m², with a tub. Before confirming, ask for the exact outlook of the room.

Are there family or connecting rooms?

Yes. The Terrace Garden Suite and the Rooftop Grand Suite sleep 2 adults and 2 children, with 2 sofa beds and 2 bathrooms; the Deluxe rooms, Junior Suites and most suites take 2 adults and a child, the Prestige rooms 2 adults. Connecting rooms exist, on request and subject to availability, and cots are free. An extra bed, where the room allows one, is free up to the age of 12; from 13 it costs €120 plus VAT a night according to the hotel and €150 plus VAT according to Mr & Mrs Smith, Expedia gives €165 at any age, and Booking.com says there are no extra beds at all. For a bigger party there is Villa Sola Cabiati: 6 suites, sleeping up to 12.

Is there a kids’ club?

No. Neither the hotel nor the booking sites list one. A few sites still do: in 2013 there was a children’s programme, T Kids, in Villa Emilia, which has been home to T Spa since 2016, and no current source confirms it. Babysitting is available, at extra charge according to Booking.com. Children swim in the outdoor pools, the one floating on the lake included, always with an adult; T Spa is for 16 and over, but offers them a mini manicure or pedicure at €50, and tubing or banana-boat rides can be arranged.

Can the hotel arrange a proposal or a private dinner?

Yes, through Dimmidisì, the hotel’s private-dining service. The table for 2 can be laid in the Sala Contessa, in a corner of the gardens among dozens of lanterns with Bellagio opposite, or on your suite’s terrace; menu, music and lighting are planned with the chefs and concierge, fireworks included. No price is published. Among the priced options is Infinitely Private: T Spa to yourselves from 7 to 10 pm, with the thermal area, a couples’ massage and a drink by the infinity pool, for €1,200.

Can you get married at Grand Hotel Tremezzo?

Yes, though the hotel publishes nothing about weddings: on 27 September 2026 the “weddings” and “events” pages of its website did not exist, and for groups and exclusive events the site gives an e-mail address. What is known comes from the wedding planners who sell it. Ceremonies are symbolic only, in the garden, for up to about 80; the glazed lakeside terrace seats 60 for dinner, and the ballroom 120 seated or 150 for cocktails according to Italian Venues (July 2026). The hotel publishes no maximum: its weddings page did not exist when read on 15 October 2026. 2 planners agree on one rule: from late May to late September a plated dinner is for 70 at most, with a buffet beyond that, unless the whole hotel is booked; in March, April and October it goes up to 100 or 110. Dancing ends at midnight, then the party can carry on in the wine bar until 2 am, and the hotel holds up to 30 rooms for guests. The season, for Exclusive Italy Weddings, runs from March to early October. No price is published: Italian Venues estimates €100,000 to €190,000 for 50 guests over 2 or 3 days, without exclusive use.

Is there parking?

Yes, by valet, with a limited number of spaces that should be booked. The hotel quoted €35 a day plus VAT in 2020, and the same price still appears on Preferred Hotels and on Mr & Mrs Smith, whose listing also says its rates usually include valet parking. Booking.com says charges may apply, and Google Hotels marks it as an extra without a figure.

Where is the lake pool?

In front of the palace, across the Regina road: Water On the Water floats on the lake beside the T Beach lido. T Spa and the park pool are elsewhere, up in the garden.
