Villa Amore

In many ways, this is a classic Hallmark movie with a plot line we've seen many times before. Of a jerk who dumps the bride at the altar. By a guy who she really didn't recognize as the jerky was. She goes to Italy, and a guy appears in her life that she does deserve, but tension ensues, she resists what she is feeling in her heart at all costs. Kudos to Hallmark... It was actually filmed in Italy! The movie is a wonderful example of how extending yourself and kindness and compassion awakens your own heart and you realize the man you love is right in front of your eyes. And it takes a village to help you realize that! Good story! Congratulations Hallmark.

"Villa Amore" is one of the best Hallmark movies I've seen in a long time. It has depth. It's real and it's vulnerable. Leaving behind the common clichés, Hallmark has given us a movie that will make you believe that happily ever afters truly do exist. While there were no grand gestures, what we got was better. This is a sweet story of two people finding their forever love all while experiencing the magic of Italy. Eloise Mumford and Kevin McGarry both give fantastic and believable performances, making this a movie you actually won't want to miss. I hope we see Hallmark make more movies like this one!

Well the premise has been done before. An American buys one of these villas for a euro and fixes it up. However, you add a beautiful and believable love story between two people, without all the silly misunderstandings that seem to plague so many movies, and you have an enjoyable sweet movie.

Loved the leads together and the story of them as they moved along their relationship was heartfelt. The supporting cast was lovely, sometimes quirky, but easy to like.

While the changes to the villa in a short time with only a handful of scenes showing work done was far-stretched, but that wasn't the important storyline.

Highly recommend this movie for those that like hallmark movies.

I absolutely loved this movie from start to finish, it was so natural n both Kevin and Eloise were fantastic in their roles.

Such a nice flow to the movie.

All the extras in the movie were amazing...loved every scenery.

It was a believable story.

The food, the shops, the language, the culture was all there.

You felt that you were there.

There was no conflict n small misunderstandings were handled nicely.

Loved the donkey lol I loved the ending n how her father was planning to buy the villa.

Such a fun movie to watch.

Absolutely love these location movies n having actors like Kevin n Eloise who are natural really adds a lot of joy n fun.

8.3 stars.

This is a surprisingly stunning romance for Hallmark to produce in the summer. I am surprised and caught off guard at how wonderful this story is. In fact, 'Villa Amore' is one of the best in the past year, arguably their best of 2025 thus far. We still have six months to go, so who knows if anything surpasses it this year. I'm hoping they crank out a few more like this, because what a pleasant experience for me today!

These two actors have great chemistry and I don't recall if they've both been co-leads together in a romantic film before. I hope they reunite for another, possibly a sequel, because she threw three coins into the fountain. You'll see what I mean.

The story is about a woman who is engaged and is basically dumped after six years of dating this obnoxious man. That first scene where they have some friction and she is caught off guard is clunky, and got the movie started on the wrong foot. He is not a likable actor whatsoever. It was awkward and out of place. At that point, I was skeptical, figuring this was going to be a monumental failure of a movie, even though it stars two of Hallmark's favorite actors. These two don't do silly; they are known for quality films. Thankfully, they maintain their reputation and value in 'Villa Amore'.

After the clumsy breakup, she goes to Italy to find herself again, revisit where her parents fell in love near a villa in a small town. She eventually falls in love with the whole village and a man. He's an American, but spent a lot of his childhood here, because one of his parents is Italian.

In her grief and while she's trying to be more spontaneous, she makes a very impulsive decision and spends the rest of the story trying to climb her way out of a deep rut. Perhaps her new man will help her with the predicament, and maybe they can find fulfillment and love in the process.

I highly recommend this. If you like Hallmark, you will love this and I know you'll watch it, so I need not embellish my high praise any further. Suffice it to say, I will be watching this every year.
