Rates & Booking Options
Passalacqua
Moltrasio, Lake Como, Italy
The most talked-about hotel on Lake Como: just 24 suites in a restored villa with terraced gardens. Book early.
It's a big celebration and you want the most personal, private stay on the lake.
You want to walk into a lively village. Moltrasio is quiet, and you'll use boats and drivers to get around.
Passalacqua is an 18th-century villa that a family restored and opened as a hotel in recent years, and it quickly became one of the most awarded hotels in Europe. With only 24 suites, the service is very personal and the place feels like a private home.
The gardens step down the hillside to the lake, with fountains, terraces and quiet corners. It's best for honeymoons and milestone trips, and it books up far in advance for summer.
