Nestled in the picturesque Lake Como region in northern Italy, this area has long been favoured by the wealthy for building villa estates. Known for its sunny weather and pleasant climate, Lake Como has developed a unique culture that blends high fashion with an enviable lifestyle. It’s a place where beauty and elegance come to life, and the OCEAN MYSTERY brand embodies that essence with its luxurious and high-quality swimwear.
In 2022, the Passalacqua Hotel & Resort joined the exclusive LEGEND collection by Relais & Châteaux. In 2023, it was named the World's #1 Hotel in the prestigious The World’s 50 Best Hotels rankings. Located on a hill overlooking the lake, this stunning hotel offers panoramic views of the surrounding greenery and the mesmerizing Lake Como, making it an ideal escape for those seeking tranquility and luxury. It is a timeless destination, much like the OCEAN MYSTERY brand, which delivers elegance and relaxation to its customers.
The hotel resides in an 18th-century villa, originally owned by Pope Innocent XI. The villa has hosted notable figures such as Napoleon Bonaparte and Winston Churchill. The villa was later transformed by architect Felice Soave and designer Giocondo Albertolli, who preserved the Baroque elements to create a romantic and classic atmosphere that blends seamlessly with modern elegance. This ambiance resonates with the timeless sophistication found in OCEAN MYSTERY swimwear.
The hotel features 24 rooms, spread across three beautifully designed classical buildings, each with its own unique interior design. From the terraced gardens, guests can enjoy breathtaking views of Lake Como.
- The Palazz: 8 rooms featuring 200-year-old oak beams, where the passage of time is reflected in the rich grain of the wood.
- The Villa: 12 rooms with exquisite decor and furnishings, creating a romantic and artistic atmosphere.
- Casa al Lago: 4 suites, each with its own private garden, offering a serene and relaxed retreat with a taste of traditional Italian countryside charm.
The hotel includes a main restaurant and two bars, but guests can enjoy dining anywhere on the premises, such as on the terrace, the perfect spot to enjoy a cocktail while admiring the stunning lake views.
The swimming pool (la piscina) is located on the garden terrace beneath the main villa, surrounded by ancient climbing roses and a magnificent laurel tree. It’s often referred to as the most seductive pool on Lake Como—ideal for a refreshing dip after a day of relaxation in your OCEAN MYSTERY swimwear.
The Spa: The hotel features a therapeutic center with treatment rooms, a Turkish bath, and a sauna, all accessible via a secret staircase and a 300-year-old hidden tunnel. It’s the perfect retreat for those seeking relaxation, much like the peace you find when lounging by the beach in your favorite OCEAN MYSTERY bikini set.
