Viray Vacay: 5 star Lake Como Hotel
Lake Como has a whole load of stunning hotels, and this one we came across on @nadezza‘s page made our jaw hit the floor..
@nadezza Lake como is an absolute dream place 🤍🇮🇹 #lakecomo #lakecomoitaly #lagodicomo #italy #italytravel #visitlakecomo #italytravels #bestofitaly #wheretostayinitaly #lakecomohotel #passalacqualakecomo #passalacqua #italybucketlist #luxurytavel #visititaly #girlsthatwander #luxurylifestyle ♬ suono originale - Giuseppe Marco D’Isanto 🇮🇹
This is Passalacqua, a super luxe 5 star hotel in Moltrasio over on the western side of Lake Como, a destination loved by the rich and famous.
Passalacqua, Moltrasio, Lake Como





Passalacqua is in a truly stunning hotel with beautiful views of Lake Como. There’s an inviting swimming pool and lovely gardens where you can admire the lake, an Italian restaurant for delicious meals and of course the decadent rooms, some with dreamy lake views.
How viral? This reel has 1.7M views on TikTok!
How much? As you might expect this place has a serious price tag – a double room with a lake view in the spring will set you back from £2,401 per night. That’s monopoly money! They’re most booked up for summer, but if you’re prepared to risk a stay during autumn weather, you can get the same room for about half the price.
Fancy a cheaper alternative?
Hotel Promessi Sposi, Malgrate, Lake Como





Hotel Promessi Sposi is a lovely 4 star spot in Malgrate, on Lake Como’s eastern branch. Its stunning location on the lake’s shore means you get those uninterrupted waterfront views for your entire stay!
It’s a stylish modern building – inside, the decor is simple and modern with neutral shades and clean lines. There’s a restaurant serving Italian and international cuisines, a fitness centre and a spa.
How much? A room with a lake view can be yours this summer from just £291 per night – a little more reasonable right?!
What about even cheaper?
Antica Locanda La Tinara del Belvedere, Lecco, Lake Como





This sweet little spot in Lecco is a hidden gem – with just a couple of rooms it’s your very own lakeside paradise. It’s actually beside Lake Annone, one of a handful of tiny lakes next to Lake Como.
Antica Locanda La Tinara del Belvedere is a proper traditional inn with rooms perfect for a characterful and cosy stay.
How much? A double room with a lake view in summer is an absolute steal, costing from £110 per night.
