The home of the second generation of Gucci is open
You can live too
Lately, the Gucci family has been busy.
The movie "House of Gucci" was released, which was strongly dissatisfied by the Gucci family, and even the plot was criticized by the audience.
However, the film's filming location unexpectedly became popular. In particular, the home of Aldo Gucci, the second-generation head of Gucci in the movie, is actually his former home.
Today, the house, which carries too many secret stories of the Gucci family, is open for booking. From December 6, the villa launched Airbnb, with a maximum of two people staying, about 55,000 yuan per night.
MISS carefully calculated the price is very reasonable. Located on the shores of Lake Como, accessible by boat, private enough; the six-bedroom castle, preserving 17th-century frescoes and furniture, is a rare experience.
As soon as the villa went online, it was immediately booked.
It seems that most people agree with MISS. Let's take a peek and see what this villa is really like.
01
The largest private villa in the area
Arrival by boat is required
Aldo Gucci's former home, named Villa Balbiano, is located on the shores of Lake Como, Italy, and requires a boat ride to reach.
Lake Como is a glacial lake in the Alps, and the environment is extremely chic. Not only are luxury hotels gathered, but they are also favored by European and American celebrities, who pride themselves on owning a villa on the shores of Lake Como.
Villa design on the shores of Lake Como breaks the traditional design rules, and landscape architects become particularly important, and visitors can enjoy the flowers and greenery planted in the garden, so it has become a means for the rich to compete with each other.
One of the most notable is Villa Balbiano, which is more than 400 years old and has changed hands several times and become a place open to the public. It was the first time that I had held weddings, held clothing launches, and logged into Airbnb as a "homestay" reservation.
With a total of 6 suites, indoor and outdoor pools, boathouse, private marina and two hectares of gardens, the villa is the largest private residence in Lake Como.
It was built in the 16th century by Cardinal Tolomeo Galio, who built a place to entertain members of the Roman Catholic Church and celebrities to dinner balls.
Later, Galio transferred the villa to Durini. He expanded the garden, fountain, avenue and pergola on the original basis, and gave it the appearance of the villa today.

Restoration of the Palace of Versailles by the designer
Preserving centuries-old murals and furniture
Not only did Durini expand the villa, he also added murals and statues to the interior, decorated with statues from Christie's and Sotheby's.
Marvel at the frescoes painted all over the floor, painted in the 17th century by the Reggie brothers and Agostino Silva.
Walking into the villa is the living room, the gold velvet sofa with crystal chandelier is quite retro.
The villa has two floors and is spread out with 6 rooms, each with its own bathroom.
Today, the villas we see have been restored by designer Jacques Garcia, who specializes in turning the abandoned castle into a palace of art.
Interior furniture has a lot to offer, and every table, chair, fireplace and other objects preserves Durini's collection of antiques.
The master bedroom is also located on the first floor and offers the best terrace with a view.
The bedroom retains its 17th-century design style, with red as the main tone and intricately carved gilded mirror accents.
The study on the same floor is much more understated, with uniform wooden materials that highlight the owner's taste in the details.
The hall on the second floor continues the uniform style, and the hanging paintings and statues resemble an art gallery.
Floor-to-ceiling windows offer views of Lake Como.
The guest bedroom on the second floor replaces the terrace with a window facing Lake Como.
It has to be said that MISS prefers the style of the guest bedroom, especially the bathroom facing the lakeside landscape.
As of next year, the villas have been fully booked.
Leaving aside the blessings of the Gucci family, MISS feels that the villa is so popular because of its internal collection. After a century of frescoes and antique furniture, it is a very ornamental art gallery, and the ornamental value can no longer be measured by money.
