James Bond Locations Sardinia 1977 Hotel Cala di Volpe "The Spy Who Loved Me" with Roger Moore as James Bond

THE SPY WHO LOVED ME 1977

BOND IN COSTA SMERALDA

James Bond is a legend. First it was the books, then it was the movies. A number of actors have played the suave 007, but it was Roger Moore who was able to take to the big screen in The Spy Who Loved Me, which took place in the gorgeous Costa Smeralda in Sardinia, Italy.

Barbara Bach played the beautiful Bond girl by the name of Anya Amasova and in the movie, they stayed at the iconic Hotel Cala di Volpe. This hotel was and still is very romantic, on the water, and the perfect location to curl up with a loved one to forget the rest of the world exists for a few days.

James Bond Locations Sardinia 1977 Hotel Cala di Volpe
"The Spy Who Loved Me" with Roger Moore as James Bond

Hotel Cala di Volpe has a legendary tale to tell since it was chosen as one of the film locations in “The Spy Who Loved Me” at the end of the seventies. In that classic James Bond movie, James Bond and Anya Amasova walk through the hotel’s lobby towards the reception and check in under the false name Sterling. In case you’re wondering, just as countless James Bond fans still do after all these years, they booked Suite A5.

In 1976 Bar Pontile was the setting for the movie 007, The Spy Who Loved Me with Roger Moore and Barbara Bach. After so many years, there are still many of James Bond fans who come seeking the suite of the most famous spy in the world an airy lounge that is very popular amongst hotel guests and a space for exclusive events such as Porto Cervo Fashion Week.

Before heading off to Stromberg’s underwater hideout, Bond and Amasova stay at the huge Hotel Cala di VolpeCosta Smeralda, perched, like a faux-Mediterranean village, atop the cliffs on the north coast of Sardinia. Sadly, you can’t check into Bond’s room – this was actually the hotel’s Piano Bar.

The second-largest island in the Mediterranean (after Sicily), Sardinia is part of Italy, and has three international airports. Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport, the second largest, is about two miles away from the city centre of Olbia.

The road chase is on a stretch of coast road at Vista Point, on the SP94 about a mile south of the hotel, and on the small piazza of San Pantaleone, to the southwest. Bond’s submersible Lotus Esprit finally comes ashore on the beach at Romazzina, on the coast east of the Cala di Volpe.

 

 

SARDINIA "The Spy Who Loved Me" 1977

One of its more recent visitors was James Bond, who came here accompanied by Soviet agent Triple-X Anya Amasova in The Spy Who Loved Me (TSWLM) in 1977. In the plot of this film their mission is to investigate the arch villain Karl Stromberg’s headquarters Atlantis, a huge amphibian structure located off the coast of Sardinia. After leaving Egypt and fighting Stromberg’s gigantic henchman Jaws in a fierce train fight, the couple arrives at the little port-town of Palau at the northern tip of Sardinia. From here regular ferry services operate to Genova and Naples on the Italian mainland as well as to the nearby island of La Maddalena. A rock shaped like a big bear (Capa d’Orso) is the only modest tourist attraction Palau has to offer. Bond and Anya drive along the coastal road in an open carriage backdropped by the beautiful Isola Santo Stefano. On reaching Palau’s jetty they observe Q driving the white Lotus Esprit sports car from a ferry, which lies at the outermost left moorings. He parks the car beside a sort of lamp-post and then the usual banter between 007 and his gadget master ensues. Bond’s reckless handling of the precious vehicle is obviously a “kick in the teeth“ for Q. All of Bond’s following adventures take place at the Costa Smeralda, a region in the northeast of Sardinia that defies easy description. A wonderful, untouched area, without any roads, electricity, water or telephones: that was how Costa Smeralda appeared at the beginning of the sixties.

Most parts of the following wild car chase were filmed on the country roads around San Pantaleo, the National Road n. 125 and the Panoramica Cugnana SP 94 along the Costa Smeralda. The most outstanding spot of the hot pursuit is the piece of concrete wall, where the chopper pops up and which is circled twice by the Lotus later in the race. To get to this location you have to drive south from Cala di Volpe on the coastal road. After one odd mile you will notice a blue signpost with the inscription “per bivio S. PANTALEO km 6“ on the left side of the road. Directly behind that is the piece of wall which divides a little parking lot and a view point from the pavement. From here you have a marvellous vista over the shore. In the peak season try to be there before 10 am, because later it gets very crowded.

SARDINIA – Hotel Cala di Volpe // The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)

Take a sip at your martini and watch the yachts come back from their day cruise. Later on, pamper yourself at one of Sardinias finest restaurants. Welcome: Your at a true Bond hotel!

Why Bond was here
James Bond (Roger Moore) and his Russian counterpart Triple X (Barbara Bach) head from Egypt to 
Sardinia on the trails of Karl Stromberg (Kurt Jürgens). The villain had stolen nuclear submarines and is about to threaten the world with launching the nukes. The agents try to get close to Stromberg, but in style – they check in at the luxury hotel Cala di Volpe.

How you gonna get there
Cala di Volpe is one of the iconic landmarks at Costa Smeralda. The philanthropist Aga Khan transformed the turquoise coastline into an oasis for the rich back in the 1960s – and built up the luxury hotel as its main hub.
Cala di Volpe is close to Capricciola Bay. It is easily signposted along the road from Olbia to Porto Cervo.
 

Good to know
The suite Bond stays in is not a real suite – 
but the Bar Pontile. The charming evening lounge was turned into a hotel room in the movie. So filming took place in both the hotel lobby and Bar Pontile.
It is located directly off the pier at the left side of the bay. The bar is decorated with Mediterranean armchairs and carpets, a unique white fireplace dominates the room. Opening hours are in the evening, but if you ask the staff, they will probably unlook the Bond suite“ for you earlier.

Since the Cala di Volpe is a luxury hotel make sure to suit up. In the high season playboys and Bond girls roam the pier and show off their yachts. But you don’t have to stay there or eat at the restaurant, to take a glimpse – a drink at the bar is totally fine. If you want a more local and cheaper food option afterwards, try the quaint pizzeria at San Pantaleo – here is how to get there!
