Villa Regina Teodolinda
The Lake Como Property George Clooney Couldn’t Get
Some say it is the house that George Clooney couldn’t get. While the superstar settled for another home a few doors down, Villa Regina Teodolinda remains one of the most admired and exclusive properties on Lake Como. Situated in the enchanting town of Laglio, the villa has been a long-time favourite holiday spot for international celebrities and Hollywood movie stars, as well as a backdrop to some of the coast’s most jaw-dropping weddings. Luxury is key here, with large gardens, English lawns, and a counter-current pool on offer. Boats can dock at the villa’s private pier – ensuring exclusive access to the lake and a dramatic entrance for the stars of your special evening.
The property only grows lovelier as the sun goes down and the surrounding trees are lit with twinkling lights, creating a romantic ambience for your cocktail reception or seated dinner. Matching the exteriors in beauty, the villa’s decor is characterized by a soft, Shabby Chic style that pays homage to the history of the building and the plethora of happily ever afters that have come to fruition upon the shore in the previous centuries. Add your “forever” to legacy of the villa with an unforgettable Italian wedding straight from the pages of Vogue.
