“Jackie ‘O’ Henderson has been enjoying an Easter escape with her daughter in Italy while construction gets underway on her multi-million dollar home in Sydney.”, — write: www.dailymail.co.uk
The radio queen, 50, and Kitty, 14, are living it up at the postcard-perfect five-star Passalacqua hotel in Lake Como.
Jackie flaunted her view of Lake Como from her opulent suite on Thursday, which costs upwards of AU$2,769 per night.
The KIIS FM presenter shared glimpses into her latest enviable European holiday on her Instagram Stories.
She dressed the part for the dreamy historic setting, posing by the large windows of her private villa in a strapless white maxi dress.
It comes after Jackie and Kitty indulged in gelato and sightseeing in San Gimignano, in the adjacent region of Tuscany.
Selfies posted to social media showed the lookalike mother-daughter duo enjoying the picturesque area as they caught some European sunshine.
‘Best damn gelato in the world,’ Jackie captioned one image of the two enjoying the frozen Italian treat.
‘So beautiful,’ Jackie later captioned a short video of the terraced gardens, which include 16 fountains, 300-year-old cypress trees, and a swimming pool set against the magnificent Swiss Alp backdrop.
Jackie and her daughter seem to be enjoying strict mother-daughter time as they travel as a pair for the vacation, which they have taken for the Easter and Anzac Day break.
They are currently staying in the village of Moltrasio on Lake Como at Passalacqua, which was voted the world’s best hotel in 2023 and 2024.
The structure was rebuilt in 1787 for Count Andrea Lucini-Passalacqua from an original property whose previous owners included Pope Innocent XI and composer Vincenzo Bellini.
Guests who have stayed in the lavish hotel include the likes of Napoleon Bonaparte, Winston Churchill and George Clooney.
Jackie’s European getaway follows reports that Randwick Council has received complaints about the $5million rebuild of Jackie’s ‘dream’ Sydney home.
Jackie has taken on the ambitious project that will see a complete transformation of an oceanfront Clovelly house she purchased at open auction in March 2023.
Two years after the KIIS FM star dropped $13.25million on the eastern suburbs pad, residents close to the building site are complaining about noise and disruptions.
Residents claim that demolition work on the site, located on a small cul-de-sac overlooking Gordon’s Bay, has created ‘horrendous’ noise, according to news.com.au.
One resident complained to the publication about vehicles owned by tradies working on Jackie’s home blocking road access and disregarding designated parking areas.
‘I don’t want to have to go to them every time I want to get out of my driveway,’ the disgruntled neighbour said.
A tradie informed the publication that work on the site won’t be completed until June 2026.
Meanwhile, the sight’s foreman said that all the necessary work permits relating to the building of Jackie’s huge three-storey abode have been approved.
A report in the Wentworth Courier on Friday confirmed that Randwick Council received two complaints about construction.
None related to noise or disruptions but rather raised concerns over sediment from the site falling into the ocean.
‘Upon receiving the complaints, council officers attended the property and requested the builder implement additional sediment mitigation measures to reduce potential run-off to the ocean,’ a spokesperson told the publication.
Builders made the changes to the site as requested, they said.
