Stewart cut a dapper figure in a white blazer with matching shirt, paired with a black tie and trousers.
"So appreciative the opportunities we get to spend quality time together in our busy lives," Lancaster wrote alongside the images.
The couple were also joined by their 19-year-old son Alastair, who towered above his parents in the Italian sunshine.
During the weekend, Stewart sparked concern for his health as he was unable to speak.
While in Lake Como, he was seen walking around with a sign hanging around his neck that read: "Sorry. Cannot talk. Having vocal rest."
Despite this setback, the singer appeared happy as he wandered around with Lancaster chatting at his side.
The vocal issues come amid his mammoth One Last Time tour, which concludes in December and includes dates across North America, South America, Europe and the United Arab Emirates.
Stewart has signalled that this will be his last large-scale world tour, though he has made it clear he has "no desire to retire".
UK fans will have the opportunity to see him perform at Glastonbury, where he is set to hit the Pyramid Stage for the Sunday legend slot at the end of June.
Penny Lancaster and Rod Stewart have been married since 2007 GETTYThe well-needed break comes after Lancaster recently opened up about how menopause has affected their relationship on an episode of Loose Women: The Podcast.
"I didn't know about menopause, nor did Rod," she explained. "But as relationships do progress, I mean, Rod and I have been together 25 years."
She added: "We'd have the discussions about how, obviously, our intimate relationship is different to what it was when we first met."
Penny revealed that she was originally misdiagnosed with depression and even mistook her menopausal symptoms for Covid-19.
