Frances arrives at Villa Bramasole.
Located in the Tuscan countryside near the town of Cortona, Italy, the 10 bed, 10 and 1/2 bath 'Villa Laura' played the role of 'Villa Bramasole'. The 17th century estate was recently given a makeover — much like it was in the movie — and is the epitome of an Italian vacation retreat. Three buildings make up the property: the villa, which is the main house with five bedrooms, the farmhouse, which was originally used as housing for the animals and farm workers, and the limonaia, which was originally built to store the citrus plants over winter. All have been updated and modernized, yet still maintain that rustic Italian charm. The beautiful villa is available to rent, and can accommodate up to 20 people.

Most of the movie scenes were shot in and around this property under the Tuscan sun.
