Picture of Villa del Balbianello from a boat in Lake Como

Lake Como, Northern Italy

This serene alpine lake in the north of Italy has featured in a number of films, including Ocean’s Twelve (2004) and Casino Royale (2006), but not many people realise the Attack of the Clones (2002) connections. A significant chunk of the film was shot at Villa del Balbianello, mainly scenes of courtship between Anakin and Padme on the planet of Naboo. You’ll get to sail right past the villa on the last full day of our Classic Northern Italy Rail Trip, which includes a day trip to the lake and a ferry ride from Como to Bellagio. Keep an eye out on your left-hand side as you approach Bellagio and you’ll see the palace in all its grandeur.
