This residence, built by Count Andrea Lucini-Passalacqua on land belonging to Pope Innocent XI, has been passionately restored over three years with almost devout care by the de Santis family to capture the quintessence of Italian craftsmanship and offer a suspended, baroque and confidential interlude for lovers, a visual impact, a sensual and emotional impregnation for all, a bewitching charm that permeates the moment in a dreamy natural setting.

The hotel is undoubtedly one of the most luxurious in Moltrasio, a small town on the shores of Lake Como. The hotel is intimate, revealing just 24 suites, chiselled down to the finest detail. One of these, the Bellini Suite, features the cathedral-ceilinged music room, where composer Vincenzo Bellini once played the piano, and where he composed the classic "Norma" and "La Sonnambula" for opera buffs;
A plunge into Italian history, with walls in brilliant damask and curtains in Como silk taffeta, over twenty different varieties of marble from the quarries of Verona and Carrara to embellish the bathrooms, including the incredible red Breccia Pontificia stone, veined with dark gray, the same as the Vatican, and Veneto terrazzo flooring in the Terrazzo Veneziano style , all the finest Italian craftsmanship bring their sophisticated, precious touch to this incredible hotel.
