Created in the 18th century as a place of the heart on Lake Como for friends, for love and leisure, for the pleasures of the table and the Italian art of dolce far niente, Passalacqua is that same place of wonder today.Transformed by the De Santis family, rooted on the shores of Lake Como for generations, into a unique hotel with 24 characterful guest accommodations spread across three magnificently restored edifices, it features seven acres of landscaped gardens that descend to a private jetty.Nestled among the park terraces, burbling fountains and centuries-old trees, guests can enjoy a panoramic swimming pool, an open-air gym in the olive grove, a lakeside tennis court, movie nights under the stars and much more. Staying at Passalacqua gives guests an all-access pass to life at the villa, whether that means making ice cream with the gelataio, swapping pruning tips with the gardeners, kneading pasta dough with the chef or perfecting your volo shot on the bocce court.At Passalacqua, it’s all about reviving the lost art of travel known as villeggiatura and making new memories that connect us with our shared past.
