Passalacqua: A Love Letter to Lake Como

Passalacqua: A Love Letter to Lake Como by Assouline and the De Santis family is an opulent tribute to one of Italy’s most enchanting hideaways, capturing the spirit of romance and timeless elegance that defines this lakeside haven. From the dappled sunlight gracing alfresco breakfast tables to the whispered conversations beneath ancient trees, every page evokes the dreamy atmosphere of Passalacqua. Nestled within terraced gardens that cascade into the shimmering waters of Lake Como, this eighteenth-century estate—named the World’s Best Hotel in 2023—is more than a retreat; it is a living, breathing expression of the Italian dolce vita. With just twenty-four thoughtfully designed rooms and suites, Passalacqua is both luxurious and deeply personal, beckoning guests into a world where beauty, artistry, and serenity reside in perfect harmony.
