Standing high above the village of Moltrasio, and offering stunning vistas of the shore is Passalacqua, an extraordinary private villa transformed into an incredible 24-suite hotel. Built on land originally owned by Pope Innocent XI, Passalacqua was constructed in the 18th Century by Count Andrea Lucini, and has been a lakeside retreat for the great and the good for generations.
Following a meticulous restoration by second-generation hotelier, Valentina De Santis, the villa reopened its doors in 2022 and has quickly become an icon of Italian elegance. Offering total privacy and magnificence, every single aspect of the hotel has been hand chosen and designed, including their new series of weekly guest experiences that will give you an opportunity to relax and uncover the best that Lake Como has to offer.
