A Film and Photo production company in Lake Como
The shores of Lake Como are famously lined with over 100 historic villas, including world-renowned properties like Villa d'Este and Villa del Balbianello, representing Italy's most exceptional examples of luxury. Their status as sought-after locations for video and photo productions is cemented by a rich cinematic history, with productions like Casino Royale, Ocean's Twelve, and Star Wars choosing the lake for its iconic backdrops. These villas offer magnificent gardens and rich interiors, as well as docks for boats, all directly accessible from the villas. The picturesque towns surrounding the lake, including areas recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site (Sacro Monte di Ossuccio), provide a diverse range of charming Italian streets, docks, and restaurants to suit any creative brief. All of this is enriched by the lush beauty of nature set against the backdrop of high alpine mountains.
More information on shooting on Lake Como
The ideal season for shooting on Lake Como extends from April to the end of October. Spring and Autumn grace the region with mild temperatures (15 Celsius, 59 Fahrenheit average daily temperatures), while summers are hot and humid (25 Celsius, 77 Fahrenheit average daily temperatures). Located just a one-hour drive from Milan and even closer to Milan's primary airport, Malpensa, these villas offer convenient access for crews based in Milan, avoiding the need for extra lodging during one-day shoots. We work on photo and film commercials on Lake Como every year and provide location decks to our clients, along with extensive production expertise as a main production company in the area.
A Strategic Location for Global Luxury Brands
Choosing Lake Como is a strategic creative decision. The region is a global hub for the luxury market, attracting over 1.4 million international visitors annually, a significant portion of whom are high-net-worth individuals (Source: ISTAT, Como Tourism Board). Marketing data consistently shows that aligning a brand with such prestigious destinations can boost perceived value and increase consumer engagement. We provide exclusive access to private villas and off-market locations, allowing your brand to harness the powerful "Lake Como effect" to create content that captivates an affluent global audience and delivers a measurable return on investment.
