Passalacqua

Passalacqua - both sublime and awesome - both words seem inadequate to describe the overwhelming beauty and warmth of this stunning hotel. Perched on a glorious hillside garden overlooking Lago di Como, it has the advantage of great staff and boutique presence that allows the hotel to feel like you are staying at a friend's villa! Typical hotel foyers are dispensed with here, and we are welcomed with a drink in the small bar, before being shown to our room! A room, deeply moody in colour, furnishing and lighting, with classical proportions making us feel welcome, secure and special - all at once! We even had a small glimpse of the lake which was an added bonus. It is the best!

A experiência no Passalacqua foi simplesmente magnífica. Desde a recepção, com drinks de boas-vindas que já anunciam o cuidado em cada detalhe, até a vista de tirar o fôlego tudo ali envolve e encanta. O serviço é impecável, com uma cortesia que faz você se sentir verdadeiramente especial. O café da manhã é divino, daqueles que transformam o início do dia em um ritual, e o conforto da roupa de cama… indescritível. Depois de uma semana intensa de trabalho na semana de design em Milão, viver esse momento de pausa e descanso foi um verdadeiro sonho realizado. Nosso passeio de barco organizado pelo hotel foi outro destaque leve, encantador e memorável. E, claro, o Paulo arrasou nas fotos, registrando tudo com sensibilidade. Gratidão a toda a equipe do Passalacqua por tanto cuidado e carinho 🤎. Voltaremos em breve .

Eu sou arquiteta e amo os detalhes . O banheiro . Belíssimo !

Everything. Passalacqua is simply extraordinary and a destination in itself. The location is breathtaking and truly unique. A special mention to the outstanding team — from the bellboys to the director, Chef Viviana, the Michelin-starred chef, who creates a refined tasting experience (the lobster with caviar was unforgettable). Breakfast was exceptional — among the best I have ever had. The flower experience was a beautiful and memorable touch for my wife. The SPA is elegant and relaxing, and the access to the lake is seamless and sophisticated, with the possibility to explore Lake Como aboard stunning Colombo 31 Superindios boats — a treat that perfectly completes the stay. An unforgettable experience in every detail.

Nothing.

Passalacqua is less of a hotel and more of a love letter to Lake Como. Every corner feels curated by history, from the scent of jasmine drifting through the tiered gardens to the sunlight dancing on the frescoes. The service was like an invisible hand, anticipating every desire with a grace that made us feel like the villa’s long-awaited guests rather than temporary travelers. It is a rare sanctuary where time seems to slow down just to admire the view.

Only the inevitable moment we had to walk through the gates and return to the real world. It is a difficult place to leave behind.
