In the hotel’s own words

Standing proudly in the quaint lakeside village of Moltrasio just fifteen minutes from Como town, Passalacqua, a private home since 1787, has been transformed into a once-in-a-century hotel. Each of the 24 unique accommodations, housed either in the grand Villa, the ancient Palazz or the romantic Casa al Lago, embodies the enviable lakeside lifestyle that has made Lake Como so beloved through the ages.

The mansion boasts seven acres of lush gardens across eight scenic terraces leading down to the lake shore, its mature trees and stately palms framing the blue expanse sparkling below. Nestled among the gardens, burbling fountains and centuries-old trees, guests can enjoy a panoramic swimming pool, an open-air gym in the olive grove, a lakeside tennis court, movie nights under the stars and much more.

The lavish wellness program is designed to restore the mind, body and soul, offering relaxation and treatment rooms with rituals inspired by the lake’s magic.

The unique approach to dining invites guests to enjoy Italian delicacies when, where and just the way they like. A variety of relaxed dining spaces indoors and out for a farm-to- table exclusive experience.

At Passalacqua, it’s all about reviving the lost art of travel known as “villeggiatura” and making new memories.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does booking through Rialto cost more than booking with the hotel?

No - VIP rates under Preferred Hotels & Resorts Platinum Partner always meet or beat hotel's public, flexible rate, and provide valuable amenities and possible upgrades. Rialto also provides the hotel's non-VIP and corporate rates, so you can compare with full transparency.

What is the value of the VIP benefits?

Daily breakfast for two plus the $100 hotel credit come with every stay at this hotel - adding $100-200/day in value. A room upgrade could also be worth a substantial amount, in addition to early check-in / late check-out benefits when available.

Do I earn I Prefer points and keep my elite benefits? Is this considered a direct booking or a third-party booking?

Yes. The booking is a direct reservation with the hotel, so it earns I Prefer points and elite-night credit, and I Prefer elite status benefits apply.

How does this compare to other programs, like through AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts, or Chase Edit?

Using a hotel's own VIP program may provide higher upgrade priority, additional VIP benefits and promotional rate offers, and a direct relationship with the hotel for special requests. Rialto offers more VIP hotels than any credit card program. In addition, Chase Edit rates can be substantially more expensive as they rarely run promotions whereas AMEX rates are often comparable but do not offer programs such as Upgrade at Booking.

Can my AI assistant book this hotel?

Yes. Connect Rialto to Claude or ChatGPT and ask for rates. You finish the booking on a secure Rialto page. Card details are not sent through the AI chat, so either you would approve the final checkout step and reconfirm all the information, or if you authorize your agent with Computer-Use permissions, it can fill out the checkout form as well.
