Passalacqua

With seven terraced gardens overlooking glamours Lake Como, this elegant 18th-century villa was once home to composer Vincenzo Bellini before it was transformed into a luxury boutique hotel in 2022. Crowned the Best Hotel in the World in 2023, only registered guests can experience the hotel's brand of unfussy opulence: Passalacqua's restaurant and grounds are not open to the public.
