WHEN THEY NEED A LITTLE R&R, THESE CELEBRITIES RETREAT TO LUXURIOUS DREAM PROPERTIES
Take a tour of Martha Stewart’s Maine mansion, Candice Bergen's French chateau, Sting’s Tuscan villa and more!
George Clooney
Every summer since 2002, George heads to Villa Oleandra, his 25-room estate with a private outdoor theater, tennis court and pool on Italy’s Lake Como. “[It] changed my life in a very pleasant and unexpected way,” he says. “It really helped calm me.”
Nicole Kidman
Surrounded by 111 acres of farmland, Nicole’s $4.5 million Bunya
Hill, Australia, farmhouse boasts a formal living room with a grand piano and a dining room with a huge fireplace. She says she loves “the simplicity, the air, the peace” of the property.
Martha Stewart
In 1997, the domestic diva bought Skylands, her home in Seal Harbor, Maine, for $5.4 million. The 63-acre retreat boasts one dozen bedrooms, formal gardens, stone terraces and a 60-foot
long great room with a fireplace.
Céline Dion
What better way to appreciate Paris than with your own view of the Eiffel Tower from your party-sized balcony? Céline’s $9.3 million townhome also boasts five bedrooms and bathrooms, a wine cellar, fitness room, spa and home theater in a gated community in the exclusive Villa Montmorency neighborhood.
Pierce Brosnan
“Home is very much here in the islands,” says Pierce, who has owned his property in Kauai, Hawaii, since 2002. The North Shore estate enjoys ocean views and is surrounded by a tropical garden designed by his wife, Keely.
Candice Bergen
“It’s so restful here,” Candice says of Le
Coual, the manor house she and her late husband, Louis Malle, restored near Cahors, France. The charming estate, part of which dates back to the 15th century, was the setting of daughter Chloe’s wedding reception in 2015.
Emma Stone
Actress Emma Stone rented this $4,000 a night smart home with an in-ground pool and private movie theater on O’ahu, near the Hawaiian island’s famed landmark Diamond Head. Built-in touch-screen panels on the estate’s walls allow easy control of the temperature, lighting and more.
Sting
says of Il Palagio, the Tuscan estate he and wife Trudie Styler renovated. Today, the lakeside retreat includes a yoga pavilion, meditation gardens, tennis courts, pool and room for 49 guests!
