Where is heaven? The answer for many philosophers, adventurers, and poets is Lake Como. Julius Caeser named the lake, and its shores have since witnessed the rise and fall of almost every European empire since Rome. In 1818, Percy Shelley wrote to Thomas Love Peacock about Lake Como, "This lake exceeds anything I ever beheld in beauty... It is long and narrow and has the appearance of a mighty river winding among the mountains and the forests." When one ventures to Lake Como, they are surrounded by natural, historical, and cultural beauty. But where is your heavenly stay? For a quintessential Lake Como experience, Grand Hotel Tremezzo brings world-class Italian hospitality to Earth. I spoke with Alessia Graziano, Marketing & Social Media Manager, to learn why you stay at the property.
