LOVE IN THE VILLA

Shot in the beautiful location of Verona, Italy, Love in the Villa seems like an
ideal destination rom-com. The story unfolds as a newly single woman(Kat Graham)
learns that the Italian villa she has reserved is double booked. Now she’ll have
to share it with a total stranger(Tom Hopper). September 1 is its release date.
