George Clooney definitely isn't selling his villa on Lake Como. Or is he?

George Clooney denies saying goodbye to his long-standing villa on Lake Como? Well, not exactly if you ask him. Recently, there have been rumors that the62-year-old actor is selling his iconic Villa Oleandra. However, the "Ocean's11" star recently assured People magazine that all these rumors of sale are false. "I first heard about it when Page Six published this story. Everyone picked it up. It's not true," Clooney told the publication's representative. Sorry for the disappointment.

It all started at the beginning of this month, when a source close to the actor from the TV series "Emergency Call" told Page Six that the famous villa in Laglio was put up for sale under cover for a staggering €100 million ($107 million), which is approximately10 times more than he paid for it in2002. "Very quiet sale. No advertising.

No publications - only rich potential buyers," the source said. Then last week, real estate agent Yasemin Baysal, owner of Engel & Volkers Lago di Como, told Italian magazine Oggi that Clooney is definitely parting with his house for more than20 years and there may already be a buyer. "Rumors were circulating in previous years, but this time it's true. There is an agency in Milan that deals with sales. I can't reveal its name. We've already received calls, as we have our own clientele," Baysal explained to the publication. "One client, in particular, is very interested. We have already started all the necessary checks before presenting a possible offer."

Although the agent insists it's true, the double Oscar winner then denies her statement. Oggi also reported that the alleged reason for the sale is that his wife-lawyer, Amal Clooney, prefers to spend time in Provence, where the couple owns the425-acre Domaine du Canadel vineyard.

This18th-century mansion is one of the largest houses on the lakefront and includes25 rooms, as well as a pool, private gym, theater, basketball court, and two boat docks. Villa Oleandra previously belonged to the late heir to the Heinz sauces fortune, John Heinz, and his wife Teresa; their heirs sold the property to Clooney.

According to The Wall Street Journal, homes in seaside villages on Lake Como are twice as expensive compared to real estate inland, mainly because single family homes on the beautiful lake are rarely on the market. This means that regardless of the asking price, when and if Clooney decides to part with his famous villa, we can likely expect competition among those wanting to buy it..
