Villa del Balbianello
In the story · The lake retreat on Naboo: the first kiss and the secret wedding
A real filming location, and the heart of the film's romance. The villa plays Padmé's lake retreat on Naboo (domes were added to the roof by computer): Anakin and Padmé arrive here by boat, share their first kiss on the terrace, talk in the loggia about the nightmares Anakin has about his mother, and marry in secret on the terrace in the last scene of the film.
