House of Gucci's incredible Lake Como home is now available to stay in through Airbnb
Private residence Villa Balbiano is out of this world beautiful
If it’s a super-luxe vacation that you're after, we've got just the right option for you.
Villa Balbiano is the coveted home featured on the eagerly awaited Ridley Scott film House of Gucci, and it'll soon be available for a one-night-stay on Airbnb.
Found on the western shore of Lake Como, the destination is one of the biggest private residences on the Italian lake and it was used as the home of Aldo Gucci in the film (you can spot it in the trailer, where star Lady Gaga is dressed to kill).
Starting December 6 at 5pm EST, you'll be able to reserve the home through Airbnb for a one-night stay on March 30, 2022. Mark your calendars and set your alarms.
Some more real estate-related details: the home features six palatial suites in the main palazzo, each one designed by renowned decorator Jacques Garcia, plus six marble bathrooms and a take-your-breath-away outdoor area that includes a massive garden, a swimming pool, a boathouse and a private pier.
The interior glamour is also worth noting: furniture and art pieces sourced from Christie's and Sotheby's adorn the space, also peppered with 17th century frescoes painted by the Recchi brothers and Agostino Silva.

The grandiosity of the home mirrors the fabulousness that viewers of the film, which hits theaters tomorrow, will be treated to.
Based on the 2001 book by Sara Gay Forden, The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour and Greed, the film tells the story of the family behind the iconic brand. Lady Gaga stars as Patrizia Reggiani, who married Maurizio Gucci (Adam Driver), a union that eventually kicked off a legal battle for the right to control the fashion label (yes, murder is involved as well). The stellar cast is rounded out by Al Pacino, Jared Leto, Salma Hayek and Jeremy Irons.
