Eric is like any other father who worries about his daughter. Having lost his wife recently, he worries more. Scott Foley is believable.
Maia Reficco as Olivia, his daughter is cute & looks so much like Salma Hayak, a younger version. She is an able adolescent, confident & very positive.
Violante Placido is gorgeous. As Francesca she is perfect. She is mayor of the town & wants to bring a change. Having recently lost her husband she is coping up with her new role.
Both single people falling for each other was natural. But Olivia accepting it so well was a surprise.
It is a soft, sweet ,fluffy story to watch.
P.S. There is a Dolce Villa , a five star hotel in Igatpuri. With five star amenities. Wow.
