Apartment Next To James Bond's Villa

A cinematic setting. A peaceful Lake Como retreat. Situated in San Siro, near Menaggio, this contemporary apartment neighbours Villa La Gaeta, the celebrated “James Bond villa” featured in the final scene of Casino Royale, starring Daniel Craig.

Here, a memorable film location becomes the backdrop to everyday life: panoramic 180-degree lake views towards Bellagio, a generous terrace for outdoor living and the tranquillity of a residence surrounded by greenery.

Presented in excellent condition and ready to enjoy, the apartment centres on a spacious open-plan living and dining room with a kitchen. Expansive glazing frames the landscape and opens onto the terrace, connecting the interior with the lake beyond.

The terrace is the property’s defining feature. Generously proportioned and sheltered, it already accommodates a large dining table, creating an inviting setting for leisurely lunches, evenings with friends and quiet breakfasts overlooking the water. Views extend towards Bellagio and the surrounding mountains, changing with the light throughout the day.

The central living area is complemented by two bedrooms and two full bathrooms arranged in the lateral sections of the apartment, providing a comfortable separation between shared living and private spaces. A garden available for the apartment’s use offers a further outdoor retreat.

The residence benefits from a swimming pool with a sun terrace, while a short walk provides direct access to the lake. Good sun exposure enhances the enjoyment of both the home and its outdoor spaces. Behind the development, a walking trail leads to the centre of Menaggio in approximately thirty minutes.

A privately owned single garage, a cellar and a separate storage room complete the property.

An appealing Lake Como holiday home, the apartment also offers features suited to buyers considering short-term holiday lets. Above all, it presents the opportunity to live beside a cinematic landmark, with the beauty of the lake at the heart of the experience.
