The sister property to the Grand Hotel Tremezzo, Passalacqua is a relative newcomer on the scene, opening in 2022 to much fanfare – and with good reason. Set in an 18th century villa that was once home to the composer Bellini, the De Santis family have transformed this chic spot into an oasis of style and charm complete with Murano chandeliers and original frescoes. From breakfast in the rose garden, walks among the cedars and magnolias on the properties’ seven acres, the Barbara Sturm-stocked spa and even a secret getaway tunnel that provides a direct route to the marina: this is the current hot spot of Como!

The Villa d’Este was built in 1568 as a summer residence for a wealthy Italian cardinal and has since played host to everyone from Elizabeth Taylor, Alfred Hitchcock, Lady Gaga and, of course, Como’s most famous resident, George Clooney, who uses the hotel as his “local.” Set among 25 acres of magnificent gardens, the Villa d’Este is so treasured in Italy that it was declared a world heritage site. With 152 renaissance-style rooms, each suite is uniquely and elegantly designed and the hotel staff are impeccable and ready to cater to your every whim. Don’t miss the mosaic garden and the hotel pool which sits on a platform in the lake.

The decadent Grand Hotel Tremezzo is a mainstay on the Lake Como hotel scene since opening in 1910. Set a bit back from the lake, the hotel somehow manages to be both grand and impressive while also maintaining an intimate and cozy feeling. From an indoor swim-in, swim-out pool, an outdoor pool, a spa stocked with Santa Maria Novella products, a glorious main restaurant and countless tucked away bars, this hotel is the perfect place for first timers to the lake. Don’t miss a lake excursion on their beautiful vintage wooden boat and a swim in the lake followed by sunning in their stunning orange and white loungers.
