Named the World's Best Hotel in 2023, Passalacqua is an eighteenth-century estate on Lake Como with twenty-four rooms, terraced gardens, and the lingering spirit of Bellini, who wrote two of his greatest operas on the grounds. This volume, created in close collaboration with owners Paolo, Antonella, and Valentina De Santis, is an invitation to experience it all — from the moment you pass through the gates to the reluctant moment you leave.

Featuring exclusive illustrations by Andrea Ferolla, photography by Daria Reina, and reflections from guests including J.J. Martin, Donna Hay, and Emilia Wickstead.
