Just when you thought you knew where all the best watering holes are to be found, another appears and this one is something quite special. (editor). The hosts are excellent, the location, quite secret and the ambience, great! We spent a wonderful evening in this bar with friends and would thoroughly recommend it to anybody.

Tremezzo is a Grandiose place and anyone visiting Villa Carlotta who wishes to have a light lunch or supper with an excellent selection of wines should not just look at the roadside restaurants but explore one street up!

The following is taken from the owners brochure (Deborah and Joost are the hosts and speak English, Italian and Dutch) and is understated. Welcome to Cantina Follie, a wine bar in the cellar of an old house in the town centre of Tremezzo. Here you may sample wines in the cellar or outside on the terrace under a grape vine, accompanied by cold cuts of wines and cheeses.

You may also buy wines to take away and enjoy on your return; something to make your trip more memorable......
