Imagine this: you wake up in a big, comfortable bed in the luxurious Grand Hotel Tremezzo. You get up, open the shutters and take a glimpse of the glittering turquoise waters of Lake Como when you spot a retro wooden boat framed by mountains, surrounded by eccentric yellow buildings. You think that it cannot get better than this, but you may be wrong. Here is why.
Lake Como Offers So Much More
So, you wear your bathrobe, and you make your way to possibly the best breakfast buffet a hotel can offer. It’s not a typical hotel buffet. It’s situated in a grand room with gorgeous molding, high beautiful ceilings, and stunning wallpaper. In the middle of the room, you can see mirror tables that are arranged in a rectangle. You will notice that they are sparkling like the most opulent trays you have ever seen. In this rectangle, you will also find the hotel staff that will help serve everything for you. Self-serving is not an option. Come on… it’s a luxurious hotel on Lake Como!
Fish & Cheese… Lots of It!
Start the day the way you should – with a vast selection of cheese and cold cuts. You can find bresaola, prosciutto, two types of salami, and so much more. Do you want pecorino from Sardinia or Parmigiano Reggiano? You can have both. Don’t forget the aged local cheese, feta, brie, Emmental, and mozzarella di Bufala… the sky is the limit. If you want to eat some fish, there are swordfish and smoked salmon, with all the fixings, as well as mackerel and sardines for some umami.
Delicious Boiled Eggs
The chic breakfast option is boiled eggs. They come served in vintage brass egg cups, decorated with lions’ heads. These special egg cups once belonged to Gualtiero Marchesi, who is a master of Italian cuisine and has an entire restaurant dedicated to his legacy on the property. Custom breakfast options are also available – you can step into the sun-drenched open kitchen. There, you can find a chef waiting to fry, poach, or omelet your eggs. Feel free to try out the waffles while your eggs get ready, or perhaps you might want to go with something slightly fancier – freshly prepared crepe. So many options!
What’s next? Order a coffee (espresso, cappuccino, or whatever you like), and find yourself a seat on the terrace so that you can enjoy the fairytale sights and sounds of Lake Como.
