Villa Balbianello and Lake Como shared boat tour
There's something cinematic about approaching Villa Balbianello by boat – which makes sense, given that Star Wars and Casino Royale were filmed here.

Your ticket provides access to the landscaped gardens, where you can wander past ancient trees and elegant statues, pause by blooming flowerbeds, and find a peaceful spot to take in the views. It's the perfect place to experience the kind of Italian elegance that makes this villa truly special.
