Villa Carlotta was built as a summer residence at the instigation of the Marquis Giorgio Clerici at the end of the 17th century. The result was an impressive building with an Italian garden surrounded by statues, stairs and fountains. But it was Gian Battista Sommariva, the next owner, who made the villa flourish. He wanted to transform part of the garden into a romantic park and embellish the house with numerous art treasures by artists such as Canova, Thorvaldsen and Hayez.

The hamlet of Tremezzo is home to one of Lake Como’s most famous villas, Villa Carlotta. The villa – which has its own pier along the Como-Colico route provided by the local public boat service – has neoclassical features and is surrounded by a vast terraced garden, where you can spend much of the day without the risk of getting bored.
