Synopsis
San Francisco writer Frances Mayes (Diane Lane) travels to Italy when her 2 best friends offers her a special gift -- 10 days in Tuscany. Once there, she is captivated by its beauty and warmth, and impulsively buys an aging, but very charming, villa. Fully embracing new friends and local color, she finds herself immersed in a life-changing adventure filled with enough unexpected surprises, laughter, friendship, and romance to restore her new home -- and her belief in second chances... Based on the #1 New York Times best-selling book.

Critics' reviews
- "The whole movie is at once formulaic, clichéd and predictable, yet surprising, engaging and filled with subtle, unexpected details"
- "Lane transforms this seriocomic saga of a devastated American divorcee who impulsively purchases a Tuscan villa, thereby changing her life, into a spellbinding display of emotional transparency"
- "Just soak up that Tuscan sun and wonder when Lane will get another movie, like 'Unfaithful' or 'A Walk on the Moon,' that will let her really shine."
- "Rises only slightly above the level of a Harlequin romance"
- "Packed with more clichés than a pizza has pepperoni slices, this is truly disappointing, "
