The House of Gucci, aka Villa Balbiano, is available to rent on Airbnb
Lake Como’s famed Villa Balbiano is a local legend, dating back to the 17th century. History buffs may recognize the grand property and its antique-filled interiors and lush gardens in particular scenes of upcoming blockbuster, House of Gucci, as it’s shown as Aldo Gucci’s opulent residence. As per Vogue, Airbnb has now listed the magnificent six-bedroom, six-bathroom villa for a limited time in March 2022. They say you can’t put a price on luxury, but for $1,128 per night for you and a guest…well, perhaps you can.

Jennifer Lawrence covers Vanity Fair
J-Law has been revealed as the December cover star for Vanity Fair. In the accompanying interview, the 31-year-old Oscar winner opens up about everything from taking a break from the spotlight for several years as she nurtured her personal life (and marriage to art gallerist Cooke Maroney) to Harvey Weinstein invoking her name out of context. Lawrence tells Karen Valby all about the upcoming birth of her first child too. “If I was at a dinner party, and somebody was like, ‘Oh, my God, you’re expecting a baby,’ I wouldn’t be like, ‘God, I can’t talk about that. Get away from me, you psycho!’ But every instinct in my body wants to protect their privacy for the rest of their lives, as much as I can. I don’t want anyone to feel welcome into their existence. And I feel like that just starts with not including them in this part of my work,” she says. The issue lands on newsstands on November 30. Read the feature in the meantime, here.
