Villa Lalla Dune Bay, Dark Forest Locality In the third dairy found by Donald in Villa Rosa which is illustrated in the story PAPERINIK E L'ESTATE A VILLA LALLA (PHANTOM DUCK AND THE SUMMER AT VILLA LALLA), this summer residence of Fantomius and Dolly Paprika is mentioned, which is located in the Dune Bay in the locality of Dark Forest. One illustration of the story even shows a map, which can not be considered believable because major mistakes (Duckburg is not shown on the coast and the ocean is drawn on the east side). In any case using some of the illustrations as a reference, it is logical to conclude that Villa Lalla could be located on the other side towards the northside of Duckburg Bay close to the Cape Quack lighthouse. Just as Villa Rosa also Villa Lalla is in the center of a large park surrounded by a wall and with a metal gate at the entrance. A theatrical mimic system with a commands under a trap door inside the park under a large oaktree hides the view of the villa to undesirable intruders. Also Villa Lalla is represented as a typical American villa of the early 20th century and therefore credibile for the character of Fantomius. Unfortunately we do not get to see the inside of the villa, while some of the jokes and traps in the park (dummy elephants and beasts, turist train that goes underwater, fake sharks) are too ridiculous and grotesque, almost childish, to be considerated believable and applicable to the phantomatic and dark character of Fantomius.
