Palace Resorts, Cancun, Mexico
Many of the flight scenes featured in Quantum of Solace were filmed in the warm white sandy beaches and crystal indigo seas of Mexico. World-renowned fishing, diving and snorkeling, archeological sites dating back thousands of years, a balmy tropical climate and water sports galore…this is Cancun!

Sleeps 2, from £1125 per week

Agritourism of Federica, Chianti, Tuscany
A large portion of the gritty action featured in Quantum of Solace was shot in Tuscany. To shoot the foot chase in Siena, officials supplied €1 million to the filmmakers, to build four camera cranes, alter rooftops, and hire 300 extras needed for the scene. Tiny hilltop towns, sun-drenched hillsides, a rolling countryside and enchanting little hamlets hidden along ancient streets and pathways, Tuscany is an adventure into the past of castles, fortresses, walled towns, ancient olive groves and vineyards and traditions that are honoured from generation to generation. Agritourism of Federica is a 300 year old stone farmhouse, to a high standard to retain its Tuscan authenticity. The property was part of a summer residence belonging to Monna Lisa, the Florentine noble woman who inspired Leonardo’s masterpiece, La Gioconda. Perched on a hilltop in the scenic Chianti Classico region, the Agritourism of Federica is an ideal base for expeditions into the countryside, with good walking, mountain biking and horse riding country nearby, or for exploring Tuscany's artistic and architectural heritage.
Sleeps up to 6, from £585 per week

Puerta de Sol, Madrid
The capital of Spain saw Bond demonstrate his licence to kill during Quantum of Solace. Madrid is characterised by intense cultural and artistic activity and a very lively nightlife. The apartment sits in a quietly grand building, surrounded by a taste of central Madrid's shops and tapas bars. A subtly-styled elegance, its own private balcony and a first choice location in the Sol district of central Madrid make up the winning formula for this superb city-living apartment. Its simple monotone of opal-white décor, pinewood and frosted glass neutrals are combined with flashes of orange and glossy design pieces, for the optimum in modern cool. With an impressive setting in the heart of Madrid, this is a favourite for couples and small groups visiting the city.
Sleeps up to 3, from £882 per week
