It has by far the best location on the lake (Villa D'Este and MO are tucked away on the southern arm) and is decorated in a traditional, chintzy style. The only serious flaw is the misjudged and grotty indoor 'pool.' You probably need to splash out on one of the better rooms or suites. The Tremezzo also has a second hotel, the Passalacqua, just up the road and this looks ravishingly beautiful. If I were to return to Como this is where I would stay.

Never again.

I will admit that their new sister property Passalacqua looks gorgeous though.
Passalaqua looks nice, no question.
When it comes to Tremezzo I more and more hear sceptical voices. Livefromtuscany is one example. But it's always a personal thing and if it appeals to someone, they should give it a try. The maximum risk is a lousy stay, you survive that. And since some people like it, it can also be a great experience.
