Villa del Balbianello
Via Guido Monzino, 1, 22016 Tremezzina CO
Closed on Monday and Wednesday
View in Google MapsThe famous villa, where the Star Wars wedding scene and James Bond hospital scene has been filmed.
The villa can be accessed only with a tour guide, so the tickets sell out fast, especially from May to September. Nevertheless, if you can't get into the villa, I still recommend visiting the garden as a part of your trip to Tremezzo area.
To get to the villa, take Fast Service (Servizio Rapido) ferry boat from Como to Lenno. From Lenno you can take a shuttle boat to the Villa. The shuttle service is located here -
View on Google Maps.
You will have a fantastic photo opportunity from this boat while approaching the villa.
After having finished the visit in the villa or the garden of the villa, walk back to Lenno instead of taking a boat, to enjoy the surrounding forest (about 30 minutes walk).
After Villa Balbianello you can take a walk along The Greenway del Lago di Como and visit Villa Carlotta. See the dedicated section on this page below.
