Passalacqua Book - A Love Letter to Lake Como Assouline
Description
Beneath wide awnings, tables set outdoors are bathed in a warm, golden light, playing in shifting reflections. Lovers stroll among the century-old trees, exchanging sweet words in hushed tones. Passalacqua is so idyllic, so enchanting, that it transforms you into a romantic, captivated by dreams of love. Ever since Bellini composed two of the world's greatest operas there, Norma and La Sonnambula, he has become the guardian spirit of Passalacqua, its genius loci. Its serene and sensual nature still resonates through the villa and the gardens that cascade down to the lake.
Named Best Hotel in the World in 2023, Passalacqua embodies the very essence of the Italian dream. This 18th-century residence rises in the heart of terraced gardens overlooking Lake Como, offering only twenty-four intimate rooms and suites, designed for absolute relaxation and refined luxury. Reimagined as a true home away from home, the hotel is both a welcome refuge after a day of exploring the wonders of the region and a haven from which one never wishes to leave.
This work was created in close collaboration with the owners Paolo, Antonella and Valentina De Santis, inviting guests to experience unforgettable days in the setting of Passalacqua. From the moment you pass through its gates to the moment you leave—with regret—the experience unfolds like a dream. Passalacqua: a love letter to Lake Como featuring exclusive illustrations by Andrea Ferolla, photographs by Daria Reina, as well as testimonials from prestigious guests such as J.J. Martin, Donna Hay and Emilia Wickstead.
