Spring into primavera at Passalacqua
It’s difficult to explain the magic of spring on Lake Como to those who have never experienced it. The colors just seem to be more intense, the scents more seductive, the skies clearer than they are just a few miles back from the shore. In Passalacqua’s terraced gardens, the first shy roses begin to unfurl, our heirloom fruit trees perfume the air with their blossom and magnolia flowers sway in the breeze like lanterns. An abundance of fresh produce is gathered each morning from the kitchen garden, to be transformed by chef Mauro and his team into dishes that distil all the season’s goodness.
