Out and about.

Walking is both easy and enjoyable around this part of the lake. Approximately a 15-minute walk into either Tremezzo or Mezzegra will reward you with fresh bread from the bakers, a choice of general stores, and green grocers who sell local produce that has just been picked or pulled. You are just 5 minutes further on and you are by the lake, and the local ferry port from which you can travel across the lake to Bellagio for example.

The piazzas and streets have wonderful family run cafés and restaurants that are open most days from dawn till late, locals Meet on the way to work for a brioche and espresso, or after work for a relaxing glass of Prosecco. There is also a good selection of restaurants within walking distance including “Al Veluu” & “Risorgimento” which must be two of the finest eateries on the lake. “Helvetia”, “red & White”, and “El Timon” on also a short walk away for those lake side evening meals or a cocktail.

Tremezzo and Mezzegra are in the centre of the recently opened “greenways”; these give you clear routes (denoted by beautiful green granite slabs and steel markers) for some of the best walks around the lake. You are also close to Villa Balbianello (bond fame) and the stunning gardens of Villa Carlotta.
