Love in the Villa is a 2022 American romantic comedy film written, directed and produced by Mark Steven Johnson.

Julie Hutton follows her lifelong dream to visit romantic Verona, Italy, shortly after a breakup, only to find her reserved villa is double-booked, so she has to share it with a cynical British man.

Third-grade teacher Julie Hutton is fascinated with Verona as it is the setting for William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.

In an effort to explain why she is so excited for the trip, she unsuccessfully tries to expose her students to the centuries-old love story.

Julie goes over in great deal the itinerary she has planned out for the long-awaited trip to Verona with her boyfriend Brandon of four years.

After an uncomfortable flight in economy class, her bags are lost and she has a stressful taxi ride with Uberto.

Feeling dejected, she returns to the villa to find Charlie has read her personal journal.

Julie buys lots of green olives, a known attractant to cats, surrounds Charlie with them, and opens the window.

Julie reveals her excessively romantic parents caused her to set the bar high; he explains he grew up with four brothers and no mother.

That evening at the Vinitalia event, Julie lets Carlo Caruso know how wonderful his wine is, inadvertently blocking Charlie's company's offer.
