George Clooney's Oleander villa in Northern Italy

George Clooney's Oleander Villa in Northern Italy was purchased by him from the Heinz family in 2002, according to Architectural Digest magazine. Stars such as Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, Jennifer Aniston and Matt Damon have since visited. The villa has 25 rooms, tennis courts, gym, garage with a collection of retro motorcycles, movie room, swimming pool, basketball court and two docks on Lake Como.
