THE best hotel in the world has been revealed – and it's only two hours from the UK.
Passalacqua, built within an 18th-century villa, is found on the edge of Lake Como in Italy.
It was named the best hotel in the world at The World's Best 50 Hotels Awards last night.
There are just 24 rooms inside Passalacqua, with the hotel saying it is more like a "private home".
This includes the twelve-room Villa, the eight-room Palazz and the four-room Casa al Lago, with the latter being right by the lake.
Along with a private pool overlooking the lake, it also has direct access to the beach along with a private pier where you can rent boats with Beppe the boatman.

While at the hotel, there is a spa with both a sauna and steam bath for guests.
