Villa del Balbianello is absolutely stunning, and well worth a visit.
The Villa and the surrounding grounds are beautiful and the view across the lake is absolutely breathtaking. The atmosphere is very peaceful and relaxed and you are able to explore the grounds and the building at your own leisure. All the areas used in Casino Royale are accessible to the public.
Whilst you can’t actually stay in the Villa itself, there is fantastic and reasonably priced accommodation in the form of the Hotel San Giorgio, Lenno, which is walking distance from the Villa.
Whilst you can walk to the Villa from Lenno, I’d suggest getting a boat either there or back as you get a wonderful view from the water as the boat passes alongside the promontory.
A flight to Milan form the UK was under £40, then a train trip to Como, which was very reasonable. You can catch a bus from Como to Lenno, although beware; it is not for the faint of heart!
If you want to enjoy a slice of the Bond lifestyle, but haven’t the budget for the Ocean Club, this is highly recommended.
