Passalacqua announces its new book, created in collaboration With Assouline. PASSALACQUA, A Love Letter to Lake Como celebrates the 18th Century Villa’s timeless relationship with this beautiful destination.
The beloved property was once the home of composer Vicenzo Bellini, whose spirit can still be heard in the salons and halls. It is a symbol of the Italian dream, and summers spent on the Lake. Passalacqua, named the World’s Best hotel in 2023, is a tranquil and captivating retreat with only 24 exquisitely refined rooms and Suites, and terraced gardens flowing down to the waterfront.
Owners Valentina, Paolo and Antonella De Santis collaborated closely on this visually rich book, blending exclusive photography and art with personal reflections by those who lived it. J.J. Martin and Emily Fitzroy, as well as Zach Weiss and other friends who have been a part of this journey for many years, added a personal touch to the book.
Daria Reina’s refined aesthetic sensibility and Andrea Ferolla’s elegant and expressive illustration style have combined their passion for beauty and style.
