Did you know the hotel, in the water, is based on a real world location? I once came across a real life photo of it, with a note about it being used as a reference for the film, but never came across it again - do you have any ideas where it was ?
- puzzlingcaptcha 10y agoSome googling suggests it could be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isola_Bella_(Lago_Maggiore) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isola_Bella_(Lago_Maggiore) https://www.flickr.com/photos/jdbfhr/5521339431/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/jdbfhr/5521339431/
- ionwake 10y agoThanks for taking a good look, I guess it could be the location, but I honestly remember a smaller island, on a lake, with a hotel on it in the photograph. Maybe it was from a different angle? After all how many lakes in Italy have hotels in them? Thanks again for trying.
- Causalien 10y agoYou are probably talking about lake bled in Slovenia https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/84/Lake_Bled_from_the_Mountain.jpg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/84/Lake_Ble... or lake skader in Montenegro. https://justoffthebeatenpath.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/dscn7880.jpg https://justoffthebeatenpath.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/dsc...
- ionwake 10y agofascinating but I believe we have a winner below!
- puzzlingcaptcha 10y agoMy runner up is the islet of San Giovanni on the same lake: http://static.panoramio.com/photos/large/122043835.jpg http://static.panoramio.com/photos/large/122043835.jpg (which is also mentioned in http://www.davinotti.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=329 http://www.davinotti.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=v...). In reality it was probably an amalgamate of several reference locations.
