HISTORY OF GRAND HOTEL TREMEZZO

A century of charm aged divinely well The origins of Grand Hotel Tremezzo date back to Enea Gandola, a gentleman from Bellagio. In the early 1900's he and his wife Maria Orsolini travelled widely throughout Europe and acquired a taste for beautiful things and places. After their return to Italy they wanted to create something of class and sophistication on one of the world's most beautiful lakes. They decided to build a Grand Hotel, suitable for the emerging international tourism of the time. The visitors were rich and cultured, mainly from England, Germany, France and Austria, as well as Belgium and Switzerland and even from Tsarist Russia. The Gandolas chose this extraordinary location, bordering on the gardens of Villa Carlotta, for the incomparable scenery: simply the most exquisite view on Lake Como. The Hotel quickly became an obligatory stop for any traveller.

Opening celebration in July 1910

In July 1910 the Grand Hotel Tremezzo was opened with a party in its honour and public celebrations. A period of great splendour followed until the outbreak of the First World War, which radically changed the world and its geography. For more than a year the Grand Hotel was requisitioned for use as a military hospital. With the return of peace the Hotel began a rebirth. But in the meantime tourism had changed too: the Grand Tour, with its cultural and sentimental connotations, gave way to the vacation as we know it, focused on leisure and relaxation. In the 'thirties the Grand Hotel Tremezzo was bought by the Sampietro family. It was during this period that the Hotel became a target for cosmopolitan tourism: Greta Garbo refers to the happy, sunny place in the film Grand Hotel (1932). Through the terrible years of the Second World War the Hotel never closed its doors, and when the war ended it was ready to welcome with its customary grace a new type of clientele: this time society had changed irredeemably too. Today, following in the footsteps of the Gandolas and the Sampietros, another family is proudly carrying forward the Grand Hotel Tremezzo tradition, celebrating a century of charm and authentic Italian hospitality. hospitality Meanwhile, Lake Como remains as popular as ever. ever. The lakeside resort is back… back…
