Casino Royale

A real filming location. After Le Chiffre tortures him, Bond recovers in a lakeside clinic: this villa on the tip of the Lavedo peninsula. In its gardens he tells Vesper he loves her and decides to leave the secret service, while René Mathis, his contact in Montenegro, is taken away as a suspected traitor.

Access · A FAI (Italian National Trust) villa with paid entry, booked in advance; it opens at 10:00 on set days and part of the house is seen by guided tour. From Lenno it is about 1 km uphill on foot, partly on gravel, or a paid taxi boat from the Lido di Lenno; the path is not suited to pushchairs or reduced mobility. Check before you go.
