LA DOLCE VILLA Trailer (2025) Maia Reficco, Scott Foley, Violante Placido, Romance
© 2025 - Netflix

Scott Foley (“Scandal”) has traded Washington, D.C. for Italy.

Foley leads Netflix rom-com “La Dolce Villa” as Eric, a successful businessman who travels to Italy to stop his daydreaming daughter (Maia Reficco, who recently made her Broadway debut in “Hadestown”) from restoring a crumbling villa. Per the logline, “Italy, however, has different plans for him as it delivers on its legendary promise of beauty, magic, and romance.”

Violante Placido and Giuseppe Futia also star.

Mark Waters (“Mean Girls,” “Mother of the Bride,” “Freaky Friday”) directs. Robyn Snyder and Deborah Evans produce the film, with writers Elizabeth Hackett and Hilary Galanoy executive producing. Hackett and Galanoy previously penned “A Perfect Pairing” and “Falling Inn Love.”

The feature filmed in Rome, eastern Lazio, and Tuscany, with the interiors of the villa built at Cinecittá Studios in Rome. The exteriors were shot in eastern Lazio at Torrino del Gelsi.

Foley told Tudum that his character arc leads to his own discovery.

“He’s desperately trying to foster a new and different relationship with his daughter as this movie unfolds. His initial determination — to save his daughter from making what he believes would be a huge mistake in purchasing property in Italy — turns out to be a sort of second chance at happiness for Eric, in so many ways!” Foley said.

Director Waters teased, “All I will say is that we meet both Eric and Olivia’s respective love interests, Francesca and Giovanni (Futia), right at the beginning, but our leads will need to overcome quite a few obstacles, both internal and situational, before they can settle into their happiness. As Francesca says in the movie, ‘The path to true love is never smooth.’”

Foley is also back on the small screen after his “Girls on the Bus” role with a guest turn on “Will Trent.” The “Felicity” alum has said he would return for a possible reboot of the Keri Russell series.

“La Dolce Villa” premieres February 13 on Netflix. Check out the trailer below.

Every time a headline goes around that a small Italian town wants foreigners to buy up property for a measly sum, everyone hits the pub with their friends and dreams the DIY dream.

And some people — namely Mean Girls director Mark Waters and A Perfect Pairing writers Elizabeth Hackett and Hilary Galanoy — make an entire Netflix movie out of it. With a Parmigiano Reggiano-topped trailer out today, La Dolce Villa feels like a Netflix Christmas movie without the Christmas part, all shot in Rome, eastern Lazio, and Tuscany.

Scandal and Felicity star Scott Foley plays Eric, a man whose daughter Olivia (Maia Reficco, Do Revenge) buys a crumbling Italian villa for €1 (yep, she did the thing). He's mad, until he meets the stunning mayor who sold it to her (Violante Placido). Plus, as his daughter reminds him, he used to be a chef and what he's in Italy? Sounds like Eric will be eat, pray, loving his way to finding himself in no time.

La Dolce Villa is streaming on Netflix Feb. 13.
Netflix has released the official La Dolce Villa trailer for the upcoming romantic comedy led by Felicity and Scrubs vet Scott Foley. The movie will be available for streaming on Thursday, February 13, 2025.

“Successful businessman Eric travels to Italy to stop his daydreaming daughter Olivia from restoring a crumbling villa. Italy, however, has different plans for him as it delivers on its legendary promise of beauty, magic, and romance,” reads the movie’s official synopsis.

Check out the La Dolce Villa trailer below (watch more trailers):

What happens in the La Dolce Villa trailer?
The video features Foley’s Eric, a concerned father who goes after his daughter in Italy to stop her from wasting her time and money restoring a seemingly hopeless villa. The cast also includes Violante Placido as Francesa, Maia Reficco as Olivia, Giuseppe Futia as Giovanni, Simone Luglio as Nino, Tommaso Basili as Bernardo, Madior Fall as Cesare, Jenny De Nucci as Donata, Mitch Salm as Larry Longo, and more.

La Dolce Villa is directed by Mark Waters from a screenplay written by Elizabeth Hackett and Hilary Galanoy. The film is executive produced by Hackett and Galanoy, with Robyn Snyder and Deborah Evans serving as producers.

This marks Foley’s first movie project as the lead in a long while, after appearing in 2017’s Marlon Wayans comedy Naked, 2001 drama Stealing Time, and 2000’s slasher sequel Scream 3. His most recent role was playing Hayden Wells Garrells in Max’s short-lived political drama series The Girls on the Bus.
Scott Foley has officially entered his romance era.

According to the Scandal alum, it's been more than two decades since he took on a role in a true rom-com — but that changes with Netflix's new Valentine's Day-friendly flick La Dolce Villa.

In the film, he plays Eric Field, a former chef-turned-businessman who travels to Italy to try to stop his daughter Olivia (Maia Reficco) from fixing up a dilapidated villa. In the process, sparks may or may not fly with the town's mayor, Francesca, played by Violante Placido.

"It's been since, I don't know, maybe A.U.S.A. [in 2003]?" Foley, 52, tells PEOPLE. "It's so strange because I feel like I fit the genre perfectly, and for whatever reason, I'm never that guy. And this was so fun to be that guy for a minute."

In the exclusive first trailer, Eric frets about Olivia's renovation plans and has several delightfully adorable run-ins with Francesca — all surrounded by stunning Italian vistas.

"We filmed basically all of March and April of 2024 for about five weeks in and around Rome, and then we filmed two and a half, three weeks in these little villages in Tuscany," Foley says. "I'd been to Rome once when we were shooting Whiskey Cavalier [in Prague], but to be able to spend the amount of time that I did there ... was really special. I would get off work and walk for hours to sort of soak it all in."

In the trailer, Eric attempts to speak some Italian, and three older women in the town mock him for it. Foley admits he also doesn't really speak the language, though he also tried here and there.

"I'd try to use it when I was out on the streets of Rome by myself ordering pizza or getting some gelato," he says. "I was sure I was better than I was, and I just wasn't. I can do my best 'buongiorno' and try to roll the R's, and they'd look at me like, 'Yeah, what do you want?' "

Foley also had a great Italian scene partner to help him through it in Placido.

"I know that one of the important parts of this film was the woman playing my love interest was Italian and sort of exuded that energy and, man, she had it in spades," he says. "She has this presence about her that just felt quintessentially Italian. And she was such fun to work with."

The Felicity star was also excited to work with Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin actress Reficco, especially after his daughter gave the 24-year-old actress her seal of approval.

"They told me who she was, and as I was literally typing in her name [to look her up], I guess I said it out loud and my 15-year-old daughter was like, 'Oh yeah, I know her.' "

But that wasn't the only thing that impressed Foley about the young actress. "She was great. She went above and beyond," he raves. "She's so talented and kind and professional and so young."

The two have stayed in touch, and Foley and La Dolce Villa director Mark Waters even went to see Reficco perform in Broadway's Hadestown and were blown away. "She so talented, truly," he adds.

The fourth main character of the film, undeniably, is the villa Olivia buys for one Euro with the promise of fixing it up. The 1-Euro homes campaign is a real thing: It's an effort for economic redevelopment in rural Italian towns with an aging population. And it's something Foley, who is an impressive woodworker himself, would love to do.

"I'm all over it," he says. "The only reason I didn't buy one is because my wife was like, 'I will kill you.' But I love the idea."

For now, though, he's more than happy with his dreamy Italian movie moment. "This was fun, this was light, this was Italy," he says, "and I was so thrilled to get to do it."

La Dolce Villa is on Netflix Feb. 13.
Grab your focaccia bread and caffè con panna because Netflix has just released a trailer for a new romcom set in Italy, La Dolce Villa. Premiering February 13 (just in time for Valentine's Day), Scott Foley (Felicity) stars as ex-chef Eric visiting his daughter Olivia (Maia Reficco) in Italy after she's bought an (albeit crumbling) villa for the low-low price of one Euro (as a millennial, this author honestly sees the appeal) to renovate and live in. Along the way, he meets the mayor of the town, Francesca Pucci (Violante Placido), where the villa resides, and you guessed it: sparks fly. According to Netflix, the film was indeed shot in Italy. Scenes were filed in Rome, eastern Lazio, and Tuscany. They say the interiors of the villa were built at Cinecittá Studios in Rome.

The logline form Netflix is as follows:

"Successful businessman Eric travels to Italy to stop his daydreaming daughter Olivia from restoring a crumbling villa. Italy, however, has different plans for him as it delivers on its legendary promise of beauty, magic, and romance."

Later in Life Romances Are Just as Important

Netflix says "it’s never too late to renovate your life." Netflix already has a few 'later in life' romances under their belts. Ironically enough, two of them star Brooke Shields: Mother of the Bride and A Castle for Christmas. That being said, Netflix emphasizes that balance between the Eric's romance and the father-daughter familial dynamic between Eric and Olivia. Director Mark Waters says of Foley and Reficco's dynamics, "they understood that love between family members can take many shapes and forms, so even when they are butting heads at the beginning of the picture, you can still sense that deep bond between them."

As for the romance between Eric and Francesca, Foley tells Tudum, "His initial determination — to save his daughter from making what he believes would be a huge mistake in purchasing property in Italy — turns out to be a sort of second chance at happiness for Eric, in so many ways!" In addition to Waters, the minds behind La Dolce Villa include writers Elizabeth Hackett and Hilary Galanoy (A Perfect Pairing, Falling Inn Love) and producers Robyn Snyder and Deb Evans (Choose Love, A Perfect Pairing).

La Dolce Villa premieres on Netflix February 13, just in time for Valentine's Day. Stay with Collider for the latest updates.

Early life

She also attended a five-week program at Berklee College of Music in Boston in which she excelled, earning a scholarship.[7]

Career
She came to the Nickelodeon Latin America project Kally's Mashup thanks to Claudia Brant and the Instagram social network; Brant was the one who was in charge of sending the covers that Reficco made of different artists and uploaded to the platform, then she was contacted by the production of the series for an audition.[8] Reficco auditioned with the Ariana Grande song "Dangerous Woman". She managed to get the leading role in the series playing Kally Ponce. Reficco signed with the record company Deep Well Records and traveled to Miami to record music for the series.
