Book The Luxury Villa Rental From ‘The White Lotus’ in Sicily, Italy
Tourism is booming in southern Italy, and they’re calling it ‘The White Lotus Effect’, referring to the impact the hit series’ dreamy film locations have had on tourism in Sicily in 2023.
While the Amalfi Coast, Tuscany and northern Italy have always been top destinations on the European travel circuit, Sicily had remained largely undiscovered compared to the buzzier spots in Italy— until the second season of the ‘The White Lotus’ debuted earlier in 2023, that is.
In the show, Daphne and Harper end up staying at this dreamy villa on a girl’s trip to Noto, a renowned Baroque city in southeastern Sicily.
In reality, Villa Tasca is located near the island’s capital city Palermo, about a 4 hours drive away from Val di Noto.
Villa Tasca sleeps up to 8 guests in 4 opulent ensuite bedrooms, each with a lounge or sitting room, and comes with a full-service staff for the duration of your stay.
The late 1800s Romanesque-style villa is set within a 20 acre park which dates back to the 1500s, featuring lush lawns and gardens with a greenhouse, as well as a swimming pool, all set in the middle of citrus groves.
Inside the villa, accessed by a fabulous double staircase entrance, the interiors are just as decadent off screen as on, featuring trompe-l’oeil frescoes on the ceilings and walls, Murano chandeliers, and ornate furnishings throughout.
