....on Lake Como. I was very close by on holiday last week and thought i'd go and look for it. It is called Villa Gaeta in the San Siro area on Lake Como. The building is stunning but i was shocked to see that it looks like it is actually a block of apartments! I was just suprised that a lakeside villa as beautiful as this one is possibly nothing more than a block of flats! B)

Has anybody else been to have a look, or does anybody know what it is actaully used for?

I believe you can rent the second floor. It is not so expensive...

More info: http://www.jamesbond...r...=tr&g=tr006

It is also a location of a recent star wars film.

I thought they used the place where Bond was convalescing also in Star Wars, not the place that was linked to in this thread?

922 euro a week not expensive? Somehow I don't find $1340.95/week all that cheap.

Oh yes. you're right. I was a bit confused all those Italian houses and lakes look the same, hehe.
