Beware: Spoilers below.
In the lighthearted rom-com Love in the Villa, heartbroken Julie (Kat Graham) arrives at her dream-vacation villa in Italy only to find her rental has been double-booked. She and her reluctant roommate, a cynical and very tall Brit named Charlie (Tom Hopper), agree to share the space but soon resort to outlandish pranks to get the villa solo. Love in the Villa is available to stream Sept. 1.
Julie is a diehard romantic who reads Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet to her third-grade class. She’s finally made her dream a reality by planning a trip to the play’s setting: Verona, Italy. Unfortunately, she gets dumped right before the trip and must go it alone — until she gets to her villa and sees that a tall Brit named Charlie is already staying there.

Sarcastic and seemingly unfeeling Englishman Charlie is a wine importer who’s rented the same villa in Verona for the past six years while attending an annual wine expo. This year, however, he’s not alone. He’s none too pleased with Julie’s arrival and ends up battling it out with his unforeseen flatmate for possession of the rental.

Julie includes her noncommittal boyfriend of four years, Brandon, in all her Italian vacation plans. But when they go to dinner to discuss the detailed itinerary, he becomes overwhelmed and breaks up with her. Brandon hits her up while she’s in Italy, but thanks to Charlie’s advice, she’s (mostly) able to ignore him.
