Sometimes, A-listers just need to get away from the crazy town known as Hollywood.

Yes, they have all the power to vacation anywhere they want around the world. In fact, they likely have access to private jets, secluded villas and never ending amenities.

But for some famous stars, enjoying some R&R away from the daily grind can be found at their luxurious vacation homes.

Taylor Swift has a special home in Rhode Island that just so happens to be a hot spot on major United States holidays—Fourth of July flashbacks anyone? As for Celine Dion, she had a mansion that could double as a water park in Jupiter, Florida.

Outside the United States, George Clooney has a second home in Italy while Mariah Carey once had the chance to rest comfortably at an estate in the Bahamas.

As we celebrate Real Estate week at E! News, take a look at just a few of the people we can't help but be envious of hen it comes to their vacation homes.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie: Fans may know of Château Miraval as the special place these Hollywood stars said "I Do." But as it turns out, the wedding venue is also a 1,200-actre estate in the village of Correns, France, that the Jolie-Pitts have called home since 2008. 35 rooms take up the main house while the estate sits along an ancient secluded Roman road. The couple purchased the home in 2012 for an estimated $60 million.

George Clooney: How's this for a place to unwind? Located on Lake Como, the famous hideaway is the special destination where the actor married his wife Amal Clooney. It's also the perfect location for the Hollywood star to host his famous friends including Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber.

Oprah Winfrey: In a recent post on Oprah.com, fans got an inside look into the talk-show host's Hawaii home. What used to be an ordinary, little gray ranch is now transformed into the perfect 21st-century farmhouse. Whether it's the stunning views from the balcony or the open kitchen, it's safe to say the businesswoman doesn't regret keeping this property alive and thriving.

Johnny Depp: Back in 2009, Variety gave fans an inside look into the actor's private island. To get to the 45-acre tropical paradise, lucky guests can take Johnny's yacht that is a casual 156-foot, steam powered boat. "I don't think I'd ever seen any place so pure and beautiful," he once told the publication. "You can feel your pulse rate drop about 20 beats. It's instant freedom."

Kelly Ripa: When not co-hosting LIVE! weekday mornings, the talk-show host plunked down $3 million for a getaway in Bridgehampton. Between the pool, large yard and spacious digs, we can only imagine the actress' three kids never say no to a trip to this vacation home.

Taylor Swift: When she's not traveling around the world for a tour or hanging out with her squad in Los Angeles, the "Shake It Off" singer could be found in Rhode Island in a home perfect for entertaining. Whether hosting her famous friends for the Fourth of July weekend or just wanting some East Coast peace and quiet, this is the place Taylor likes to visit.
