Rent the ‘House of Gucci’ villa on Airbnb

By Judy J. Beasley

Why go see “House of Gucci” when you can experience it?

Although the film has been criticized, the Italian villa featured in the film is now available for rent at Airbnb.

While staying at the estate adjacent to Lake Como, you can live luxuriously in your finest Gucci while enjoying spectacular views and the grandeur of ’90s Italian opulence.

The House, known as Villa Balbiano, was portrayed in the film as the home of Patriarch Aldo Gucci, played by Al Pacino. The film also stars Lady Gaga as Patrizia Reggiani and Adam Driver as Maurizio Gucci.

In fact, Villa Balbiano dates from the end of the 16th century. Cardinal Angelo Maria Durini, who presided over the estate in the 18th century, hosted members of the Roman Catholic Church and residents of high society for festivals, banquets and dances.
