Would you like to feel like a star in the series «White Lotus»? You have such an opportunity. You can not only go to Sicily, but also rent a luxurious villa, which you definitely saw in the series.

Right now, «White Lotus» is the series that everyone is talking about. Not long ago, the HBO channel released the second season of this series; the last episode was released on December 11, 2022. The first season was filmed in Hawaii, and the second season was transferred to the beautiful Sicily. 

The main location, where the action of the second season takes place, is the San Domenico Palace Hotel in Taormina. A room in it, by the way, can also be booked. But today we are shifting our focus to another location in the series, the extravagant Villa Tasca. 

This villa appears in the third episode of the second series, where the characters Daphne (Meghann Fahy) and Harper (Aubrey Plaza) book the house for the night. Although the show says the palace is in the baroque town of Noto, it is in Palermo, the capital of Sicily. And you can book the villa right now.

Let’s talk about Villa Tasca in more detail. It is a neoclassical palace from the sixteenth century. There are 4 bedrooms in total: the first room has a king-size bed, and the other 3 have queen-size beds. All four bedrooms have their own bathrooms and air conditioning. As for the interior, everything here looks chic, from the luxurious double staircase to the majestic high ceilings.

The villa has a huge garden, swimming pool, and furnished terrace, and inside the villa there is a billiards room, music room, and bar. Service during your vacation is included.

The cost of staying at Villa Tasca is very high. The price per night is almost $5990. The minimum stay is three nights. This villa can accommodate a maximum of 8 people. 

You can book the villa here.

An Italian villa from Realting’s catalog that’s no less beautiful

Bardolino, Italy
€500,000
3 Rooms 2 Bedrooms 1 bath 77 m²

This villa, meanwhile, you can buy right away. It’s for sale in the Italian region of Veneto, right in the historic center of Bardolino. 

This is the fifteenth-century residence of the noble families of Villa Terzi. In 1821, this villa was renamed «Villa delle Rose». At the end of the 1990s, the current owner completed extensive restoration work; thanks to this, the villa retained its original charm and became more adapted to today’s functionality and modern attributes of life.

The villa has three floors and eight bedrooms, plus a tower with a 360-degree view. And there is a lot to see here: the villa is located right on the shore of Lake Garda, and it is literally bathed in greenery as it has a huge, well-kept garden. So the place reminds of a real fairy tale. 

The palace looks majestic and luxurious not only from the outside but also inside. Looking at the interior of some rooms, it seems that this is a museum. The decoration in the villa has been preserved; it is made in the late Gothic style. The interior rooms are decorated with beautiful and rare frescoes in the Biedermeier style. The main hall catches the eye not only for its Doric columns, but also for the neoclassical Carrara marble fireplace and the ceiling, which was filigree painted by the artist Filippo Nereo Vignola. 

The cost of this villa is more than $7.5 million.
