History edit
The villa, designed by Italian architects and brothers Gino and Adolfo Coppedè, was built in 1921 on behalf of the Ambrosoli family.[1]
In 2006, the villa served as a filming location for some scenes of the 2006 film Casino Royale.[2]
Description edit
The building features an eclectic style that combines Gothic Revival and Art Nouveau elements. A large tower with biforas crowned by a loggia characterizes the façade overlooking the lake.[1] The style of Villa La Gaeta is also featured by another Lake Como villa, Villa Pessina, a fact which has fueled plagiarism accusations toward the designers of the latter over the years.
