[2025 Moltrasio Stay] Travel Guide for Passalacqua (Updated Jan)

I highly recommend Passalacqua! I stayed there in May, and it was the highlight of my trip to Italy. I experienced the best service, the best food, the best drinks, and the best views! Compared to other places around Lake Como, Passalacqua offers a sense of luxury and privacy. I can't wait to go back! This place is an absolute sanctuary. My husband Ben and I stayed here, and we loved every aspect of our experience. The service was impeccable, and we are especially grateful to Eduardo, Daniele, and Stefania for making us feel cherished. We are thankful for Alberto's exceptional customer service upon arrival from another hotel, and because we loved the property so much, we decided to extend our stay by two nights, the 60-minute massage with Silvia was the best! The obsession with every beautiful detail of this property elevated the experience from luxury to world-class.

Passalacqua has completely changed my perception of a good hotel on all levels. There are a total of 24 rooms scattered in the palace 🏯, villa 🏡, and garden 🌺 cottage, with nearly flat luxury public spaces. ✨The interior design is a display of Italian top craftsmanship. Each piece of furniture and every detail contains the owner's emotions and taste, making it not like a hotel for external operation, but more like a noble private residence. . ✨The details of the room are impeccable, silver, leather, brass, and silk are shining everywhere, the Mini Bar is extremely generous, and three bottles of wine 🍷 are given. The all-marble bathroom, the fragrance and spare parts are just right with Aqua Como. A retro Jolly is a classic landscape of Passalacqua. This convertible car is a symbol of Italian vacation. Guests can take it to cruise in the hotel's vast space, but we still choose to walk 🚶 to taste it carefully. . ✨The hotel has a magnificent terraced garden! A full ten steps, with seats for rest everywhere, with beautiful woven cushions, it seems that you can always lean on it for a while, look at the lake in a daze, in my opinion, this interprets the Italian classic Dolce far niente-sweetness of doing nothing. The gym is set under the olive tree, you can watch Lake Como rowing 🏄🏻, running 🏃, playing tennis 🏌... I don’t know if George Clooney or Kimi have been here? And not swimming in the gorgeous pool 💦 is definitely a big regret of my trip. . ✨The end of the garden is a carefully paved tunnel, winding paths leading to a secluded spot, leading to the hotel's yacht pier, the charming blue beauty 👗Riva docked... Maybe next time I come, I will take a boat to drink champagne at sunset 🌅 Lake tour .
