Daniel Craig and Jesper Christensen at Villa La Gaeta

 Situated on the prominent Gaeta peninsula, on the shore of Lake Como, Villa Gaeta is comprised of a dozen private apartments. Some of these are rented out to holiday makers, enabling guests to enjoy staying in a fabulous lakefront location used in the film Casino Royale as the residence of Mr White.

One of the most wonderful apartments can be booked through airbnb.com or booking.com. It is by far the largest of the apartments (it's actually three apartments joined up with the original foyer, portico, terrace and yes, the stairs).

"This property benefits from parking and use of a secluded private beach to access the lake available exclusively to guests of this home and the residence at Villa Gaeta as well as boasting access to boat mooring here at the residence. The home exudes quality and luxury at every turn. "
Location of Villa La Gaeta @ Lake Como

"From the mosaic floors, frescoes, pillars and painted ceilings in the entrance of the original grand villa to the 180-degree lake views from your private terrace and balcony, the apartment offers a real sense of style with attention to detail and quality fixtures and fittings at every turn. The apartment is perched directly overlooking the lake and offers such luxuries as private boat mooring and access to the beach available exclusively for owners here at this residence only. Little wonder the James Bond franchise chose the villa, stairs and exterior to shoot the finale for Daniel Craig's first adventure as 007 in Casino Royale. The apartment itself is completely private and whilst there are other homes at this villa, this is the principal and most prestigious apartment in the residence."
