About Passalacqua
Passalacqua, at Via Besana 59, Moltrasio, was created in the 18th century, in its own words, “as a place of the heart on Lake Como for friends, for love and leisure”. Its suites are in three houses, the Villa, the Palazz and the Casa al Lago; chef Viviana Varese cooks, with traditional feasts in the Cantinone. Unusually for the lake, it stays open in autumn and winter, with an ice rink and New Year fireworks over the water.
