Passalacqua

Passalacqua occupies an 18th-century villa on the southwestern shore of Lake Como, near Moltrasio, once the private estate of Count Andrea Lucini Passalacqua and, before him, connected to Pope Innocent XI.

No. 5 in The World's 50 Best Hotels 2026.

The hotel

With only 24 suites set within terraced gardens, it operates less as a hotel than a private home reopened to guests, an approach that saw it named the world's best hotel by The World's 50 Best Hotels in 2025. Chef Viviana Varese cooks from an open kitchen, giving the dining room the same informality as the rest of the house.
