Who owns the famous house on Lake Como?

Have a look inside George Clooney's Mansion at Lake Como. George Clooney first purchased this Italian villa which was constructed in the 18th Century. It's located in Laglio, Italy, on Lake Como, in 2002.



The most famous house on Lake Como is Villa Oleandra, which has been owned by American actor George Clooney since 2002. Located in the small village of Laglio on the western shore, the 18th-century villa became a global landmark after Clooney purchased it from the Heinz family (of ketchup fame). As of early 2026, despite periodic rumors of him selling the property due to privacy concerns, Clooney remains the owner of the estate, which also includes the adjacent Villa Margherita. The property is famous for hosting high-profile guests, including world leaders and Hollywood A-listers, which led the local mayor to implement "protection zones" around the villa to prevent paparazzi and tourists from approaching too closely by boat or car. The villa is not open to the public, though it is a primary highlight for the many boat tours that depart from the town of Como, offering fans a glimpse of the iconic yellow facade and lush botanical gardens from the water.
