Staying in The White Lotus villa: a dream come true
Want to prolong the sultry atmosphere of the cult series The White Lotus? Now you can, thanks to the rental of the famous Villa del Tempio, one of the iconic Sicilian settings from season 2.
Total immersion in the Sicilian art of living
Seen in episode 9 of season 2, where Daphne takes Harper for a night away from marital tensions, Villa del Tempio is much more than just a TV set. A former 17th-century convent nestled not far from Taormina, this property has been transformed into a refined 1,000 m² sanctuary, with seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms, painted ceilings, period furnishings, and breathtaking views of the Sicilian countryside. All wrapped up in an atmosphere worthy of the great Italian novels.
The White Lotus, from small screen to real-life getaway: the set-jetting phenomenon
This experience is part of a growing trend known as set-jetting: traveling to places made famous by films or TV series. And The White Lotus is a master of the genre. For the past three seasons, Mike White’s series has made dreams come true with its carefully chosen settings – from Hawaii to Thailand to Sicily – which have become so many sought-after luxury destinations.
The Collectionist website, which specializes in exceptional villa rentals, has understood this and now offers Villa del Tempio in its catalog. An offer aimed at both aesthetes and fans of the series in search of an immersive experience.
Luxury, introspection and la dolce vita
Renting this villa is more than just a stay: it’s a journey into the aesthetic and emotional world of the series. It’s an opportunity to relive key scenes, explore the Sicilian hinterland or simply take a break from time. For the most passionate, the Four Seasons chain is even offering a 20-day trip, following in the exact footsteps of the filming of the three seasons, from Maui to Koh Samui, with an obligatory stopover in Taormina.
