It's a love letter to the artistry of Italy.
There are some hotels in the world that require not an owner but more of a steward: someone who recognizes that what stands before them has lived many lives before and will live many lives to come. Such is the case withnew—it opened its doors this June—is layered with history.
It stands upon lakefront land owned by Pope Innocent IX, who ruled over the Vatican for a mere two months in 1591. In the early 1800s, Count Andrea Lucini Passalacqua built a sprawling villa complete with interiors by famed Swiss designer Giocando Albertolli. It was known as one of the grandest properties in the region: in 1829, Vincenzo Bellini composed two of his famous operas,, in the home’s music room.
I pulled up to Passalacqua on a sweltering June afternoon after a much-delayed transatlantic flight that sat for hours on the tarmac. Jet lagged and wearing wrinkled clothing with a pair of dark undereye circles to match, I was prepared to feel like a schlub in a stylish setting, slumped on an uncomfortable couch as I waited for my room to be ready. Instead, I found myself wandering into what felt like the living room of a close—albeit impossibly chic—friend.
