Passalacqua

Lake Como, Italy

• No.1 The World's 50 Best Hotels 2023

Passalacqua may have only opened its doors as a hotel in mid-2022, but it’s a location with a storied history spanning centuries. Set inside an 18th-century villa once inhabited by renowned composer Vincenzo Bellini, the hotel is split across three main buildings and is a symphony of historic Italian elegance. Think Murano chandeliers, gilded mirrors, original frescoes and seven acres of perfectly manicured gardens. Each of the rooms, of which there are just 24 across the whole property, enjoys a unique character and unparalleled attention to detail. Emerging from the hotel each morning never fails to deliver that ‘pinch me’ moment as the idyllic surrounds of Lake Como saturate the breathtaking panorama. That magic continues throughout the whole stay, from enjoying hearty plates of pasta on the garden terrace overlooking the lake to unwinding in its state-of-the-art wellness facilities. Down by the pool, a quick dip followed by a lounge underneath its JJ Martin-designed parasols is a must. It’s truly Lake Como at its finest, as befits a property voted The World's Best Hotel in 2023.
