Watch the Love in the Villa Trailer
The trailer for Love in the Villa was released on August 4, 2022, by Netflix. The trailer opens with elementary school teacher Julie (Graham) declaring her love for Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet to her less-than-enthusiastic class. While she’s a big patron of all things romance, her love life sadly goes south when her less-than-enthusiastic fiance dumps her during dinner.
Now single and loveless, Julie still insists on going on a solo trip to Verona. What she envisions as a romantic getaway to the home of Romeo and Juliet eventually becomes a hot mess of a ride. Julie’s villa is double-booked by a good-looking, cynical British man who goes by the name of Charlie (Hopper). Much to their disdain, they both have no choice but to share the villa, ultimately leading to ugly fights and unexpected romance.
