Overview
Walk to the village and the lido...
There are different families of the Milanese aristocracy who build their dwellings on Lake Como, often surrounded by beautiful gardens, and this property is one of them. The property is nestled on the western shore of Lake Como, in the peaceful hamlet of Portezza, a charming and historic part of Tremezzo that was once a traditional fishing village. A short stroll through its cobbled lanes leads you to the small Romanesque church of San Vincenzo, a quiet symbol of the area’s rich heritage.
The convenient location, just a short walk from the village of Lenno with a wide range of cafés, eateries as well as easy access to public transportation (bus stop and ferry pier) makes La Tremezzina an ideal destination for touring Lake Como. The property sits right on the lake shore and offers direct access to the water, with a private jetty that allows the mooring of motorboats and seaplanes. Guests can comfortably arrive by water taxi.
La Tremezzina is a large guest house of a neoclassical lake shore villa. The guest house (the house with the yellow facade) has a wonderful garden overlooking the lake. The house is spread over three floors, and has been recently restored. It has retained and redesigned all the original characters, integrating them with every modern comfort, including the lift which connects the three floors.
The ground floor includes a fully equipped kitchen, a dining area with a table for eight, and a cozy living room furnished with four armchairs and a vintage-style sofa. The first and second floors each feature two twin bedrooms (which can be arranged as doubles), along with two private bathrooms with showers per floor. Every bedroom offers views of the lake or garden and includes air conditioning, heating, and soundproofed interiors with wooden floors and exposed beam ceilings. Period furnishings and antique artworks lend each space a warm, elegant atmosphere. A washing machine is in the basement. La Tremezzina offers comfort, privacy, and the timeless charm of lakeside living.
Under the shade of mature trees, you can dine al fresco or relax overlooking the lake - the perfect setting for long, relaxing days outdoors. While the villa doesn't have a private pool, just 500 meters away - just a short stroll along a charming pedestrian path - is Lido di Lenno, a stylish beach club with a swimming pool, sun loungers, a lakeside beach, and a renowned restaurant. It's the perfect place to relax, swim, and enjoy a leisurely aperitif, lunch, or dinner by the water www.lidodilenno.com.
The property is ideally located for exploring Lake Como without a car. The house is accessible via a charming 50-meter footpath through the village of Portezza. From there, it's just a few minutes' walk to shops, restaurants, and the public ferry dock, which offers direct connections to Bellagio and other popular lakeside towns such as Varenna, Menaggio, and Cadenabbia.
A private parking space is available nearby for one small car (we recommend compact models), and additional public parking is also close at hand. A children’s playground is located just 100 meters from the property, and all essential services can be found within 600 meters.

The property is located in walking distance to Lenno on the western shore of Lake Como. The nearby village of Lenno, overlooking the tranquil Gulf of Venus, offers a wide range of cafés, eateries, and cultural landmarks, including Villa del Balbianello (2.7 km) and Villa Carlotta (2.6 km). Lenno is also a key point along the scenic Greenway, a gentle walking route that stretches for about three hours between Colonno and Cadenabbia, following the ancient path of the Strada Regina.
For nature and culture lovers, a panoramic trail from Lenno leads to the UNESCO-listed Sacro Monte di Ossuccio, one of nine sacred pre-Alpine mountains. The path winds through the Zoca de l’Oli (“oil basin”), an area famous for its olive groves, thanks to its mild microclimate and centuries-old oil production tradition.
Many small towns and villages surround Lake Como. They are quaint and beautiful and it’s worthwhile exploring them. If you spend the mornings on the west side and the afternoons on the east side of the lake, you will always stay in the sun.
Steamers, boats, car ferries and buses serve all the main towns on Lake Como. A ferry around the heart of Lake Como (between the key towns of Bellagio, Varenna, Menaggio and Cadenabbia) is a must. The most popular of the stops remains Bellagio.
Bellagio - known as the pearl of the lake is a beautiful little town in a picture-perfect location on the promontory where Lake Como separates into two branches. The town is historic and charming, with a waterfront promenades, stately hotels and two gardens open to the public: Villa Serbelloni and Villa Melzi. Bellagio's tourist information offices are by the ferry jetty and in Piazza della Chiesa.
The fishing village of Varenna has picturesque narrow alleyways and streets below a castle and a lakeside walking path. Varenna is a peaceful resort, smaller than Bellagio and also very beautiful. You can admire views from the Castello di Vezio or simply relax by the lakeside.
In Tremezzo visit Villa Carlotta - a villa and botanical garden. The villa is today a museum, whose art collection includes works by Canova, Thorvaldsen, Migliara and Hayez in addition to pieces of furniture from the time of the various owners.
The walled town of Como is a lively and pleasant town with an appealing historical centre and a scenic location at the southern end of the east branch of Lake Como. The impressive cathedral (Duomo), like most in Italy, was built and added to over a period of centuries, so you can admire Gothic and Renaissance features including some fine tapestries and paintings. The town's earlier cathedral (built in the tenth century), San Fedele, is another fine sight, as are the tall nine-hundred-year-old gateway, Porta Vittoria, and the Romanesque church Sant'Abbondio. The town's art gallery (Pinacoteca) is also worth a visit. For a short trip out of town, take the funicular up to the top of the hill above Como, where you can enjoy spectacular views.
Lake Como and the region is a shopper’s paradise. Around Como there are many small shops and boutiques, and in the larger towns you will find a great range of boutiques, designer stores and department stores. Wherever you are you are never far from great shopping.
Como is an interesting place to shop because of its local flavor. There are very elegant stores in Como that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Some of the world’s greatest designers are found in Como. Perhaps the nicest discount silk store (Mantero VIII) is found on the outskirts of Como.
Como is only a few minutes' drive from the Swiss border and from Lake Lugano. Cross the border into Switzerland and visit Foxtown Factory Stores, a temple of luxury and elegance with 3 km of shop windows, where 160 stores. The world famous mall that has every imaginable brand name store (Armani, Gucci, Prada, Loro Piano, Yves St. Laurent, Ferragamo, Versace, Missoni, Bally, Bruno Magli, Dolce and Gabbana, Cerrutti……to literally name only a few) at discounted prices. The mall sells last year’s fashions at prices that seem a third of what can be found in Milan.
Then of course there is Milan. Milan is a short train-ride away for those in search of some city life. Milan has been crowned the fashion capital of the world thanks to designers such as Versace, Prada and Armani. Via Monte Napoleone and Via della Spiga with its designer showrooms and boutiques are two of the most elegant, if expensive, shopping streets in Europe. Milan also has sections of town dedicated to antiques, art and house supplies.
In Milan is to see Leonardo Da Vinci’s The Last Supper. In the heart of Milan is the rose-colored marble Gothic Duomo. Not far from the Duomo is the world’s most famous opera house - La Scala. Throughout the city are symbols of Milan’s illustrious past including the 16 Corinthian-style columns from early Roman settlements. These are placed just outside the 4th century Basilica di San Lorenzo. Also impressive is the Sforza Castle and Museum of Ancient Art. St. Ambrose’s Basilica and Museum is interesting as the Basilica was founded in the 4th century by the Bishop Ambrose who baptized St. Augustine here.
Lake Como boasts some of the very finest Italian cuisine, and is home to a number of world-class restaurants. Check out the back streets and old lakeside towns to find some of the less well known but excellent restaurants.
Lake Como boat hire is possibly the finest way to experience the Lake in its full splendour. One has not seen Lake Como if it hasn’t been experienced from the water. There are numerous touring companies that can take large or small groups for tours of the lake which can include a refreshing swim in the lake. A wonderful day is to take the morning to explore the lake by boat. Stop for a long lunch at the Locanda dell’ Isola Comacina and return to the Villa by late afternoon.
Outdoor Activities: motorboat for hire Menaggio 6 km, windsurf Menaggio, water skiing Lezzeno, bicycle for hire Menaggio, golf club Menaggio, riding stables Colico.
There are numerous hikes and walking trails in and around Lake Como. Around the lake, through the woodlands and up through the hills and mountains offer an enormous variety of hiking possibilities, from easy walks for families to the more difficult for skilled hikers.
For water sports lovers it is possible to spend entire days sailing or kayaking, windsurfing and motor boating, water skiing and canoeing, wakeboarding and kitesurfing. In Como there is even a hydroplane piloting school.
Lake Como can also be dicovered by bicycle. Scenic roads, and alternative routes to those followed by the main traffic and some real cycle paths offer the visitor an alternative way of visiting various parts of the lake. Bikes can be rented in Dongo and in Menaggio.
Lake Como has also several golf courses which can be easily reached by car.
