Passalacqua

LikedPassalacqua is less of a hotel and more of a love letter to Lake Como. Every corner feels curated by history, from the scent of jasmine drifting through the tiered gardens to the sunlight dancing on the frescoes. The service was like an invisible hand, anticipating every desire with a grace that made us feel like the villa’s long-awaited guests rather than temporary travelers. It is a rare sanctuary where time seems to slow down just to admire the view.

DislikedOnly the inevitable moment we had to walk through the gates and return to the real world. It is a difficult place to leave behind.

LikedI had an absolutely wonderful stay at Passalacqua. From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly warm, friendly, and genuinely eager to help with anything I needed. Everything at the hotel felt very accommodating and tailored to guests’ needs, from early check-in to room preferences, making the stay feel personal and effortless. The atmosphere throughout the hotel is beautiful, relaxed, and elegant, with lovely seating areas both inside and outside. Every corner feels thoughtfully designed and gives off such welcoming, peaceful vibes. Breakfast was one of the highlights. It felt home-style yet luxurious, with a great variety of fresh options. Overall, it was a truly delightful experience, comfortable, charming, and full of warmth. I 100% recommend staying here!

LikedOne of the most beautiful hotels we’ve ever stayed at. Incredible grounds and views. The design details are just stunning.

LikedWhat lovely gem! So much better than Tremezzo! Only 24 rooms, I had to book 4 months in advance! Loved the cuteness of it, beautiful views, nice pool. Loved the love piano music at the restaurant . Very romantic hotel. Every corner is picture perfect!

DislikedI didn’t like the food at the restaurant for dinner . Please don’t order the “secret recipe pasta and risotto”. The breakfast is great though.

LikedEverything about this hotel was exceptional, every corner had unmatched details that showed the thought behind every little thing. The gardens were beautiful, it smelled like flowers wherever we went. The different levels provided a totally different vibe. From the docks to the hotel room, it truly was the most beautiful hotel we've ever experienced

DislikedEverything is perfect.

LikedPassalacqua - both sublime and awesome - both words seem inadequate to describe the overwhelming beauty and warmth of this stunning hotel. Perched on a glorious hillside garden overlooking Lago di Como, it has the advantage of great staff and boutique presence that allows the hotel to feel like you are staying at a friend's villa! Typical hotel foyers are dispensed with here, and we are welcomed with a drink in the small bar, before being shown to our room! A room, deeply moody in colour, furnishing and lighting, with classical proportions making us feel welcome, secure and special - all at once! We even had a small glimpse of the lake which was an added bonus. It is the best!

LikedEverything. Passalacqua is simply extraordinary and a destination in itself. The location is breathtaking and truly unique. A special mention to the outstanding team — from the bellboys to the director, Chef Viviana, the Michelin-starred chef, who creates a refined tasting experience (the lobster with caviar was unforgettable). Breakfast was exceptional — among the best I have ever had. The flower experience was a beautiful and memorable touch for my wife. The SPA is elegant and relaxing, and the access to the lake is seamless and sophisticated, with the possibility to explore Lake Como aboard stunning Colombo 31 Superindios boats — a treat that perfectly completes the stay. An unforgettable experience in every detail.

LikedEverything is amazing best hotel, I have ever stayed
