Known as a place of rest and relaxation since 1787, this 24-accommodation estate perched on the hills overlooking Italy’s famed Lake Como continues to offer luxurious retreats by inviting guests to experience the country’s traditional relaxing country stay, known in Italian as villeggiatura. Highlights of this casually opulent exclusive hotel include:
Set amid lush gardens and meticulously landscaped lawns framing panoramic lake views, Passalacqua strives to help guests perfect the art of doing nothing by encouraging them to slow down and truly embrace the leisurely lifestyle of Lake Como.
Passalacqua’s lush estate offers 24 suites throughout three estate buildings: The Palazz, the Villa, and Casa al Lago.
The Palazz hosts eight jewel-toned rooms featuring 200-year-old oak beams contrasted with Venetian silk hangings.
The Villa is home to 12 sumptuously decorated suites boasting soaring ceilings, artisanal floors, and ornate wall and ceiling moldings and coverings that instantly transport guests back to the villa’s colorful past.
By the lake, Casa al Lago lies nestled in a shroud of greenery and offers four secluded rooms, each with its own private garden with lake views.
At Passalacqua, guests are invited to dine as if they were staying with a great Italian friend. Gourmet dinners, al fresco lunches, impromptu snacks, and fresh breakfasts offer an authentic way to embrace Italy's vibrant culinary culture.
Within Passalacqua, guests can seek physical and spiritual serenity at the hotel spa, keep up with their fitness regimen at the outdoor gym, relax by the pool, enjoy an on-site event, or simply spend a day doing nothing at all – but doing it the right way.
For relaxation, enter the villa’s spa via a hidden door and a flight of stairs and emerge into historic underground tunnels turned into an ultra-luxe destination spa, featuring state-of-the-art Dr. Barbara Sturm products and treatments, along with a sauna and Turkish bath.
Water lovers will enjoy a visit to the hotel’s private pier where two boats are ready for tours and excursions, giving travelers a front-row seat to spectacular lakeside villa views and the lake’s natural splendor. Kayaks, water skiing, and stand-up paddleboarding are also available for sports enthusiasts.
Outside the estate, the quaint villages and picturesque towns of Lake Como are easily accessible and perfect for day-trippers, souvenir-seekers, and lovers of local Italian food.
Set along the shores of the naturally stunning Lake Como on a terraced estate rising upward to the foot of the town of Moltrasio, Passalacqua hotel offers a sense of privacy, thanks to its parklike estate, while still being within steps of a traditional lakeside village. Its access to the lake itself via a private pier enables travelers to transit the lake via private boat, preventing the need for a personal vehicle during their stay.
