According to one source, Clooney loves his estate and the area, but he has received a huge offer for the villa, which he is considering, and "he would buy another, less accessible property in another area of Italy."
George Clooney, and his wife Amal, met in private with German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday and praised her leadership during the migrant crisis, as rumors circulate that the American actor may sell his luxurious Lake Como property because it isn't isolated enough.
Clooney, who was accompanied to the Merkel meeting by former UK foreign secretary David Miliband, told reporters that he "absolutely" agrees with Merkel's handling of the crisis and her acceptance of many migrants into the country.
After the 40-minute meeting, Clooney criticized the U.S. policy toward migrants on German television. "You know in the United States, we aren't doing enough," he said. "We are a little less involved than we should be."
Later Friday, the Clooneys, who are in Germany to promote the actor's new film Hail, Caesar, also visited a Berlin refugee shelter. He had said he wished to meet a group of asylum seekers, "to talk about and ask what messages and what things we can do... to help."
The Clooneys' public statements about immigration stand in odd juxtaposition to reports from northern Italy over the past year suggesting that the couple has found their $10 million Lake Como property to be too public.
The 18th-century estate, which is reportedly now worth ten times what Clooney paid for it, or $100 million, is in a very exclusive area. But local mayor Roberto Pozzi still had to make extra efforts to guarantee the actor's privacy last April and imposed a $600 fine for anyone found trespassing on or around the actor's property.

Yes I think that is true.
Yeah and Clowney is getting out while the getting is good.
I hope he and his wife have an up close and personal encounter with those for whom they have so much compassion. Unscripted.
He forgot to add that Clooney’s “Seclusion in Italy” is behind walls and armed guards.
George clooney is a liberal hypocritical looney, let these savages move in next door to him and his tune will change. Look at me I believe, and its good for all of us as long as Im up here and you are down there
Hand out flyers to the migrants(LOL) about free food and all the money you can carry ,with Clooney’s address
George Clooney for President, 2020 -- get ready for it. That will be nice for all those who worship entertainment industry nitwits.
Maybe he was asking Merkel to send some of the under ten aged illegal boys to his villa.
Ironically the word hypocrite came from the Greek word for actors (hypokrites).
Which makes sense, they are playing something that they aren't. Unfortunately many are unable to turn-off their profession from their real life.
So yes, George Clooney is very proficient at his craft (hypokrinesthai).
another example of way too much dough in the hands of the least deserving .
Pay our Troops much better , not these Hollywood morons
I guess Angela can now die a happy camper; George likes her.
Having married someone nominally with a brain, george now has to summon all of his “acting skills” to show her that he has one, too.
Again, no Oscar for GC.
Really. What the hell is she thinking? Does she want to be in a movie?
They never locate any refugee’s, illegal or otherwise in rich neighborhoods, they never open their houses up to them either.
I knew Clooney would be a Muslim lover when he married his wife.
I will not be watching any of his movies, wasn’t a fan of his to begin with.
