Lake Como

The Villa del Balbianello was built for a Cardinal Angelo Maria Durini in the 18th century and now they rent out the villa. Three famous movies were filmed here.    Casino Royal - James Bond recovery scene    A Month by the Lake - with Vanessa Redgrave and Uma Thurman    Star Wars Two - wedding scene  We stopped in the small town of Bellagio and had what else, lasagna. Notice the hydrofoil pulling into Bellagio from Como. Trip time is about 40 to 45 minutes on the hydrofoil.  Orrido di Nesso - is a little village placed between the eastern shore of the lake, between Como and Bellagio. Medieval bridge with waterfall in the back.  Small town on the side of the lake. I think this is the town of Argegno.  Varenna, Italy has been a town since the Iron Age Old fishing village.  Deepest lake in Italy. One of the highest mountains in Italy. 🇮🇹  This Villa rents for $7,000 per hour.  Our guides favorite villa.
