Where does George Clooney stay at Lake Como?

George Clooney's home, Villa L'Oleandra, in Laglio, Lake Como, Italy, April 5, 2023.



George Clooney owns and stays at Villa Oleandra, a magnificent 18th-century estate located in the small, picturesque village of Laglio on the western shore of Lake Como. He purchased the villa in 2002 and later acquired the adjacent Villa Margherita to ensure greater privacy for his family and guests. The property is famous for its stunning botanical gardens, a private pier, and an outdoor theater. In 2026, the villa remains a focal point of local interest, though the town of Laglio enforces strict "Clooney-related" privacy laws, including fines for anyone approaching within 100 meters of the villa by boat or car. While the actor has occasionally been the subject of "sale rumors," he continues to spend significant time there, often hosting high-profile friends like Brad Pitt or the Obamas. For fans, the best view of the villa is from the water on a public ferry or a private boat tour, which allows you to appreciate the classic Italian architecture and the serene beauty that made Clooney an "honorary citizen" of this quiet lakeside community.
