Inside the Icardis’ amazing £2.5m Italian villa on Lake Como, where the family is living during the coronavirus crisis
WANDA NARA had to face the flak of fleeing to coronavirus-hit Italy from Paris, infuriating ex-husband and father of her children Maxi Lopez.
The Argentinian bombshell, and agent and husband to Inter Milan star Mauro Icardi, recently took her family to their luxury abode overlooking Lake Como, and her former beau called her out for breaking quarantine rules.

But Nara, 33, insists she didn't endanger her children, revealing she and the prolific striker drove nine-and-a-half hours to their £2.5million villa.
And judging by these pictures, it's clear to see why the Icardis love their private and secluded Italian home so much.
BRIENNO
Some 40 miles from Milan, the property is in the city of Brienno - the neighbouring village to where George Clooney lives in Laglio.
The Icardis love spending their time in the picturesque front garden, which is clearly the property's biggest selling point, in front of their fire pit.
Although Wanda has an apartment in Milan for work purposes when she appears on Italian TV, she has always stated this estate as her dream home.
In fact, when she was first presented with it in 2018, she shared a snap on Instagram with a view of the lake and wrote: "And your husband gives you the house of your dreams."
THE KIDS LOVE IT
The family have five children, three from her previous relationship to Lopez, and the eldest kids love taking a dip in the lake.
Mauro has been seen enjoying a kickabout with the kids too, with two goals sitting in the garden that make a makeshift pitch.
Often, Icardi's dad Juan will man the barbecue and feed his grandchildren while they play out.
A breakfast veranda also allows Wanda and Mauro to enjoy a romantic meal outside together.
The manor house has three floors. Walking through the ground floor leads you to a bright living room with a terrace that offers a panoramic view of the lake.
A walk upstairs leads to three bedrooms and two bathrooms, while in the basement there's a cellar, a laundry room, and another bathroom.
The property boasts a guest house too, which is divided into two apartments. They each have a bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, living room, and kitchen, as well as space for four cars.
There is also a dock that has space for a small boat, as well as a jet-ski. Wanda and Mauro have also been seen kayaking.
WANDA/MAXI ROW
Icardi and Wanda returned to their Italian home, despite warnings not to leave France, and her ex-hubby Lopez was furious.
Speaking on his Instagram story, the 35-year-old who plays for Serie B side Crotone said: "I would like to know under what criteria you broke the quarantine during a global pandemic.
"The whole world has asked you not to leave and you exposed our kids to a trip to another country.
“My country is Italy, which gave me and gave us all the beautiful things we have.
“That’s why I want to stay here. I could also have taken a private flight to return to Argentina, instead, we took two cars from Paris, mine and Mauro’s, divided the children and did 750 kilometers, nine and a half hours of the trip, singing a billion songs non-stop.
“It was riskier to go to Argentina. Maxi, instead of being happy it’s about my intentions as a mother.”
