Filming took place last April in Val d’Orcia
In the new romantic comedy La Dolce Villa, out Feb. 13 on Netflix, the Scandal star Scott Foley heads to Italy to stop his daughter from frittering away her entire bank account on restoring one of those villas. Of course, that’s only the beginning of his trip. By the end of it, he may have a few different ideas, about life, love, and even a decaying old villa.
Directed by Mark Waters (Mean Girls, Mother of the Bride, Freaky Friday), written by Elizabeth Hackett and Hilary Galanoy (A Perfect Pairing, Falling Inn Love), and produced by Robyn Snyder and Deb Evans (Choose Love, A Perfect Pairing), La Dolce Villa is the kind of Italian vacation that you can take without leaving your couch. And now, you can see the first photos from the new film.
