The Villa de Leon, also known as the Kauffman Estate, is a historic 35-room, 10,277 sq. ft. Italian Revival mansion in the Castellemmare neighborhood of Malibu, California that has been used in many high-profile music videos, commercials, and printed ads such as Beyonce's "Haunted," Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi," Britney Spears's My Prerogative body fragrance commercial, Camila Cabello's "Liar", Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus and Lana Del Rey's "Don't Call Me Angel", Taemin's "Press Your Number", Rod Stewart's Christmas special Rod Stewart: Merry Christmas, Baby, and shoots featuring Heidi Klum, Victoria Beckham, Robert Pattinson, and Reese Witherspoon.
