Hotel La Perla

Perched among olive-draped hills above Tremezzo, Hotel La Perla feels wonderfully removed from the bustle of the lakeshore, yet keeps Lake Como spread before you like a private panorama. Wake to blue water and green mountains framed by your window; most rooms and suites open onto a private balcony or terrace with lake views. Then linger over breakfast on the panoramic terrace, where the morning buffet is accompanied by the changing light on the lake below. Family-run and intimate, La Perla trades grand-hotel formality for the quieter luxury of space, scenery and a sense of being beautifully tucked away.

Afternoons invite you to stay exactly where you are. Slip into the outdoor swimming pool, settle into the panoramic solarium, or find a shaded corner of the garden amid olive trees and jasmine. As evening approaches, take a table at the hotel’s American Bar and order a spritz while the lights begin to shimmer across the water; the terrace remains an irresistible vantage point long after sunset. For guests arriving by car, La Perla also offers underground garaging directly connected to the hotel, making it easy to disappear into this hillside retreat without sacrificing convenience.
