The lavish home in new movie House of Gucci is now available for fans to stay in.

The property, on the banks of Italy's Lake Como, features prominently in the film, which stars Lady Gaga.

And now fashion fans have the chance to experience it for themselves after it was listed on rental site Airbnb. In the film, family patriarch Aldo Gucci lives in a grand 16th-century palazzo, with generous gardens and extravagant interiors.

In reality, it's called Villa Balbiano and is one of the largest private residences on the lake, boasting six bedroom suites and six bathrooms, as well as an outdoor swimming pool, and a private pier and boathouse.

The property listing reads: 'Situated on the western shore of Lake Como, Villa Balbiano is an awe-inspiring Italian jewel, and we're proud it will be featured in the most high-fashion film of the year, House of Gucci. 'Transporting viewers to the height of 90s Italian opulence, Villa Balbiano is the site of Gucci family patriarch Aldo Gucci's home in the film.' The palazzo once belonged to Cardinal Tolomeo Gallio, who built it at the end of the 16th century and used it as his main residence. A century later, it was enlarged and embellished by Cardinal Angelo Maria Durini.

Booking opens on December 6 for a one-night stay in Villa Balbiano on March 30, 2022, at $1,128 (£844) per night.
