Netflix's latest romantic comedy, La Dolce Villa, starring Scott Foley and Maia Reficco, has been noted for its stunning scenic locations set in Europe. Marking the backdrop of this venture is Italy, a country that has been a favorite among audiences for aesthetically pleasing romantic films.
La Dolce Villa focuses on a young woman visiting Italy with her father to renovate a beautiful villa. As they navigated through the new country, they both found a lot more than what they were actually looking for.
Directed by Mark Waters, the film explores two love stories while they're in Europe, and the film features stunning scenery and breathtaking visuals. Here are all the places where La Dolce Villa was shot.
Filming Locations for La Dolce Villa
The Torrino dei Gelsi Farm & Resort

The Torrino dei Gelsi Farm serves as the villa in La Dolce Villa that is being renovated by Reficco's character Olivia. The interiors of the villa were shot at Cinecittà Studios, while dei Gelsi is where the exterior parts of the villa were shot.
Located in San Gregorio da Sassola, the resort is a real-life eco-tourism venture that allows people to come and stay for a farm experience. It's the central location in the story where a lot of La Dolce Villa is shot.
Tuscany, Italy

Another prime location that is seen a lot in La Dolce Villa is Tuscany. This beautiful region in central Italy has been a top choice for various Hollywood films set in Europe, and rightly so. With its breathtaking scenery, stellar architecture, and visually pleasing, colorful, vibrant life, Tuscany is absolutely the right choice.
The town is noted for its food and wine scene, which are integral parts of the plot as Foley's character starts practicing being a chef while in Italy.

A large part of La Dolce Villa was shot at Cinecittà Studios, which is famous for housing productions of films like Mel Gibson's Passion Of The Christ, Luca Guadagnino's Queer, and Martin Scorsese's Gangs of New York. It is also the largest film studio in Europe.
All the indoor scenes in the film, which include Olivia's villa's interior scenes, have been shot in Cinecittà Studios.
Another important filming location was the Roma Trastevere Railway Station, Rome.
