Free entrance to the museum and gardens are given to JDB clients who book the Grand Hotel Tremezzo's Exclusive Offer "Experience Lake Como". Rooms at the hotel are spacious and fully equipped.

An added service is free parking for guests. The jogging trail goes through the hotel's beautiful centuries-old 2-acre garden, which adjoins the botanical gardens of Villa Carlotta and offers not only a challenge for the seriously fit but a great escape surrounded by marvelous flora with breathtaking views of the lake.

Restaurants include La Terrazza, for a truly authentic Italian dining experience on an enchanting terrace overlooking Lake Como, and L’Escale, Fondue and Wine Bar for a more casual meal of meat and fish fondues and grills, accompanied by the best Italian regional wines. Both restaurants offer outdoor seating during warm weather months. In the garden near the pool is the T Pizza, featuring a selection of the top traditional Italian pizzas, grilled items, and wonderful gelato for dessert! Dining is a treat here, in terms of service, presentation and taste. For many years, the hotel's fine chef, Osvaldo, has been sent to a five-star hotel each winter and this investment has paid huge dividends, and in 2011 he’s starting to collaborate with Maestro Gualtiero Marchesi to give a new imprinting to the Grand Hotel Tremezzo gourmet experience. Chocoholics - Don't miss the Valentina cake, a sinfully rich signature cake created by Osvaldo. It comes in a beautiful presentation box, perfect for taking back to the USA on the day of departure. The hotel is only 80 km from Malpensa Airport, about 60 minutes by car, making it a great place to end a trip.

NOTE: Hotel normally closes November 1 and reopens on March 1.
