Lake Como, also called Lake Lario, is the third largest in Italy, after Lake Garda and Lake Maggiore. It is one of the most picturesque of the Prealpine lakes and the only one of the three large northern lakes to be situated entirely in Lombardy. It lies in a valley scoured out by the ancient Adda glacier and is unusually shaped like an upside-down Y, with three branches running from Colico in the north, Como in the south west and Lecco in the south east. The point where the three branches meet is called the lake centre and is the most interesting part on account of its beautiful panoramic views.
The climate is generally mild, especially in the central area, which makes it very suitable for winter holidays. The lakeside vegetation is luxuriant rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias and olive groves flourish, and lemon trees, date palms and other subtropical plants grow in sheltered areas.
Tremezzo is a popular resort in a warm and sheltered situation on Lake Como. It is surrounded by beautiful gardens and villas including Villa Carlotta, one of the most beautiful villas in the area. Tremezzo is less than one hour's car drive from Milan. It is accessible by public transport and also by steamboats, hydrofoils and private water taxis. Car ferries run on a regular basis.
