“Heaven on Earth”
Passalacqua - 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!

“Truly the best hotel in the world”
Everything. 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.

“Understated perfection”
Overall, it feels the proper Italian experience where simplicity meets understated luxury. Service: spotless. Friendly and easygoing, yet perfect - from the reception, to the valet and luggage service, to the restaurant and bar. Personnel is prepared and professional, but makes you feel “at home”. Room: the attention to detail and quality of the room is beyond exceptional. Every single detail is carefully thought, from silver details (glass saucer, bathroom sets etc). Spacious room and bathroom, warm and cozy, yet maintains the style of its grandeur past. Restaurant: fine dining yet traditional and sensible menu with good portions and peculiar amuse-bouche. Very careful with allergies and pregnancy requirements (quite a combo!). Interesting non alcoholic drinks. Bar: nice selection of light lunch menu, perfect for a quick bite. Spa: amazing. The way the hotel recreated a secluded space in the tunnels below the villa is simply stunning.

“Just perfect”
Passalacqua is just flawless. Everything about the property is jaw-dropping - first the lovely lake views, and then the lavish decor. The details are outstanding - from the signature scent to the flowers and Christmas music, a cozy and elegant environment is created, in the form of a true winter wonderland. Every single staff member is very polite and friendly, going out of their way to make your stay perfect. My husband and I, on our honeymoon, received a very warm welcome and even a room upgrade. We were initially thinking of taking the ferry to explore nearby towns, but were so fascinated by Passalacqua that we decided to just spend our three days enjoying the lovely views. Not even the low temperatures deterred us from enjoying our stay thoroughly. We had both the formal dining experience and the bar food, and both were great. Our thanksgiving dinner was particularly flawless, with both great food and an unforgettable reception with live piano music. Breakfast was also unbelievable- Passalacqua has an amazing selection, and the staff is absolutely amazing at making you feel at home. We were constantly asked if we needed anything, and all of our needs were instantly catered to. The spa was also a highlight. We were given an amazing tour of the installations and had a blast at the newly inaugurated indoor pool. Overall, this was a memorable experience and made our honeymoon unforgettable. We sure hope to be back in the future.

The front desk manager was not helpful, she was arrogant and did not try to help us when a wardrobe bar fell on the children.

“Beautiful… like a dream. Perfect for honeymoon”
It is beautiful. Stunning.There’s music and scents to set the mood everywhere. Everywhere smells good and the attention to detail given by staff is amazing. The outdoor areas are lovely to explore. The pool area is so beautiful. Because the property only had about 24 rooms, it sorta feels like you have whatever space you’re in to yourself. They have free activities like gelato making and wine tasting rooms enjoy. The rooms are beautiful and very comfortable. The bed is high which I love and the pillows are soft. The TV is hidden like a mirror on the wall. The bathroom has a separate bath, and not one but 3! Dyson hair appliances including the Dyson air wrap. I loved styling my hair in the bathroom. Breakfast was a good selection of buffet and made to order items. You can choose to have breakfast in the main building or room service. I had lunch at the bar for the duration of my stay and then dinner either at the restaurant or off site.
