The cute Christmas rom-coms may be over for now, but that doesn’t mean the genre has been put on the back burner. Netflix’s next foray into rom-coms takes us to Italy where a single father has his own Under the Tuscan Sun moment when he heads to a picturesque town to stop his daughter from possibly making the biggest mistake of her life. The film is a fun escape from the world today and could make you wonder—should I move to Italy?
Read on for more about La Dolce Villa.
What is La Dolce Villa about?
