A brief intro on George’s!

George Clooney is responsible for many thousands of words of print about Lake Como and highlighting the wonders of this spectacular location. He purchased his Villa, Villa L’Oleandra, in 2001, in the small community of Laglio. In fact it has become such a popular tourist haunt that Giorgio Possi, the mayor of Laglio, introduced aa fine, forbidding groupof more than three to gather outside of Villa Oleandra. The fine starts at €19, but rises for repeat offenders!

The villa itself is 18th century, was previously owned by the Heinz family and sits on the waters edge within private grounds. The villa is reputed to have cost $7m and needed a lot of restorative work. So, Mr Clooney also bought the nearby Villa Margherita which was immediately habitable.
