Neighborhood and a Bit of History
The majestic mansion of Villa Oleandra, which belongs to the Hollywood couple George and Amal Clooney, is located in Lagilo, a town on the western shore of Lake Como in Italy. Historically, Lake Como was the province of a few noble families.
The 30-mile-long, narrow lake, which looks like an inverted Y, was long known for royalty, artists, world leaders, and Hollywood A-listers visiting the picturesque terrain.
The neighborhood is magnificent, offering its visitors a sense of glamor and exclusivity. Como boasts an impressive history, and so does Villa Oleandra. Imagine that one of Clooney’s neighbors is a renowned fashion designer, Donatella Versace!
George Clooney purchased the Italian property from the famous tomato ketchup manufacturers, the Heinz family, in 2002. Then, he paid around 7 million dollars, but today, the villa would cost a potential buyer around 107 million dollars.
The legendary star reportedly recently put his Northern Italian home on the market. The insider said, “It’s very quiet. No advertising. No press—just high net worth.” If the deal were successful, Clooney would gain a hefty profit of 100 million dollars!
