Villa La Guardia There are several reasons why James Bond films have such a huge following. Male fans are attracted to the Bond franchise because these films serve as an opportunity to live vicariously through 007—the dashing, debonair spy with an affinity for martinis (shaken, not stirred) and femme fatales. Ladies, on the other hand, can’t resist Bond’s charm and dangerous disposition—the perfect Hollywood formula for a heartthrob. Regardless of the list, location always plays a starring role in Bond films. Whether outwitting the Soviets on a train ride through Europe in To Russia With Love or outmaneuvering foes in Austria during a downhill ski chase in The Spy Who Loved Me, Bond looks good, but the filming locations definitely deserve high billing. Your VIPs can get the Bond experience with a stay at Wimco Villas’ (www.wimco.com) Villa La Guardia, which takes a starring role in the new Bond film, Quantum of Solace, released in November. The villa, located on Tuscany’s Maremma Coast (notable for its long stretches of sandy and rocky coastline), was originally built as a Spanish tower fashioned to protect against Saracen invasions. Today, Bond lovers can experience a stay at the lovely villa, which (beyond now having a SAG card) offers unmatched sea vistas and access to its own independent walking trail, which leads to the sea and a private sunbathing deck. The four-bedroom Villa has room for up to eight guests and also features two terraces that offer views of both the Mediterranean and the nearby islands. Note: Your VIPs will want to take advantage of the only bedroom not on the ground floor—the lookout tower, on the second floor, is a queen bedroom featuring access to a private small terrace that will make you feel like medieval royalty (or a British spy with a proclivity toward gadgetry). We say this is the perfect opportunity for your male VIPs to live out their Bond fantasies, while the ladies might just catch a glimpse of a dashing Bond look-alike while exploring Tuscany. — Mackenzie Allison & David Eisen Washington, D.C.’s Fairmont Odoluptate eu feu faccum ex ex hasfeuguer sumsan Hotel eu promoted Pam hendrem velenit dolummod Clark (pam.clark@fairmont. molor iliquipissi.
