Netflix’s 'La Dolce Villa' Offers Romance and Scenic Escapes in Italy

The new romantic comedy follows a father’s unexpected journey of love and self-discovery in a picturesque Italian village.

La Dolce Villa stars Scott Foley, Violante Placido, and Maia Reficco, with Foley playing a businessman who travels to Italy to stop his daughter from buying a one-euro villa.
The movie is inspired by real-life Italian initiatives offering homes for one euro to revitalize small towns, though additional costs and challenges are involved, as reflected in the film.
Directed by Mark Waters, the film combines lighthearted romance with stunning Italian scenery, which plays a significant role in its appeal.
Critical reception highlights the film’s charm and scenic beauty, though some reviews note its reliance on familiar rom-com tropes and a predictable screenplay.
La Dolce Villa is now streaming on Netflix and has been praised by viewers as a feel-good romantic escape, perfect for Valentine’s Day viewing.
