The Grand Hotel Tremezzo, an icon of period style and elegance, reopens its doors for the 2017 season announcing the marriage with the magnificent Villa Sola Cabiati, that will be available for unique indigenous experiences and events exclusively for its guests.

Until recently, the magnificent villa was available for private use only, but from today, the Grand Hotel Tremezzo is overjoyed to open the doors of the noble residence exclusively to its guests. An experience inviting travelers to discover the hidden, aristocratic spirit of Lake Como, making every stay at the Grand Hotel Tremezzo even more unforgettable.” Dott. Paolo De Santis, CEO

Villa Sola Cabiati, artistic and historic heritage

A story of refinement, tranquillity and relaxation since 1700

Giuseppe Parini, poet, writer, the greatest representative of the Italian Enlightenment and, most notably, tutor to Duke Gian Galeazzo Serbelloni (1754-1762), described the Serbelloni family's beloved summer residence, sitting on the Riviera Tremezzina, as “La Quiete”. Indeed in the second half of the 18th century, it was Gian Galeazzo Serbelloni, son of Gabrio and Maria Vittoria Ottoboni, who gave the villa its current appearance: the grand building flanked by two side wings, the large staircase, the marble balconies, the blue shutters – an homage to the lake waters – and the beautiful Italian garden, divided into four elegant parterres bursting with flowers, with parkland dotted with ferns and sweet-smelling trees sloping up towards the mountain.

For the interiors, Gian Galeazzo contacted Muzio Canzio, a distinguished stucco artist from Val d'Intelvi, and Francesco Conegliani, a pupil at Tiepolo's workshop in Milan, who painted a cycle of frescoes inspired by Virgil's Aeneid, a theme likely suggested by Giuseppe Parini.

In addition to the extraordinary collection of tapestries, vases and majolica, the villa also boasts some examples of fine furniture, including the bed slept in by Napoleon and his wife Joséphine de
Beauharnais, saved from the bombing that destroyed part of Palazzo Serbelloni in Milan during World War II. The collections can be visited accompanied by a family member.

Following Luisa Serbelloni's marriage to marquis Lodovico Busca, the property passed to the marquis' family. The elegance and splendour of the villa did not go unnoticed by their contemporaries, with Carlo Amoretti, an 18th century scientist and art scholar from Milan, writing: “Tremezzo counts many pleasant and magnificent villas, Villa Clerici, Villa Sommariva, the villas of the Brentani, Mainoni, and De Carli families, and yet la Quiete of the Serbelloni, and now of the Busca family, exceeds them all.”

In 1813, the architect Francesco Bernardini Ferrari designed the splendid mooring, described at the time as “four majestic set of steps shaded by sycamores, leading towards Villa Quiete”.
The villa was finally inherited by the Sola Cabiati, a lineage of counts, connected to the Busca family when Antonietta Busca married Andrea Sola in 1871. Now, in 2017, the owners of the Grand Hotel Tremezzo have announced the extraordinary marriage with Villa Sola Cabiati to offer its guests exclusive access to this masterpiece of art, culture and Italian ars vivendi.
