House/Villa Description
A truly 5 star property, more than a villa we might call it a royal villa: Villa Passalacqua, with its imposing elegance and sobriety of eighteenth century, is the undisputed dominator of the hill of Moltrasio. All her inner beauty and has been bought back to life to its former glory by a recent restoration. It can now be envisaged as one of the most representative examples of the stately buildings that over the centuries has enriched the banks of the lake like a beautiful architectural jewel.
Villa Passalacqua Moltrasio is an important building not only its appearance and its royal size but also due to the many hidden treasures and its many historic and ancient rooms and the delightful sloping landscaped green gardens towards the lake. The house is wrapped in an aura of greatness and steeped in history. Indeed, since it was built in the late eighteenth century, has been the crossroads of characters of undisputed historical and artistic value. There stayed, for example, the composer Vincenzo Bellini and the poet Carlo Porta.
The history
The villa was begun in the sixteenth century by the family Odescalchi on the place of the monastery “Umiliati”. It was subsequently sold in 1797 to Count Andrea Passalacqua, who commissioned the architect Felice Soave to carry out an expansion project. The appearance of a small manor house that became a great building of 3,000 square metres on three floors.
Interiors
Still visible are the crests of two noble families (Odescalchi and Passalacqua), embellished on some internal eaves of the building. To decorate the walls intervened in 1790 the hand of the neoclassical painter Andrea Appiani (1754-1817). Still in excellent condition, you can admire some frescoes, painted by him, including a beautiful "Ascensione" in the dining room.
The last renovation carried out six years ago has preserved many original elements of the eighteenth century, such as the bronze doors and the many decorative frescoes.
The villa comprises: 11 bedrooms, including 9 double suites, 8 bathrooms, 2 lounges, a local pizzeria; a local cinema, two dining rooms, gym, stables (now used as a garage) dependence with 4 double rooms, 3 single rooms, 6 bathrooms, large kitchen and lounge.
