Undeniably one of the most sumptuous shows as of late, White Lotus just bid arrivederci to its wonderful second season set in Sicily. Aside from the backstabbing, sex and hilarious moments of the show, it had really strong design moments as well.

In the gallery below, let’s look back at the lush locations that have us wishing we could take the next plane out to the island off the Ionian sea:

Villa Tasca, Palermo - During the show, Daphne and Harper go on trip together to Noto and stay in a villa. The actual villa is called Villa Tasca in Palermo, a four hour drive away from Noto. It’s a neoclassical building originally built in the 1500s covered in jaw-dropping trompe l’oeil frescoes of pastoral landscapes that inspired the opening credits of the show.

Villa Tasca, Palermo - The suite where the girls stayed at had a terrace with blue and white tile-work that opened up to the lush garden with tropical plants including centuries old trees. Some of the Villa’s guests have been nothing short of royalty including King Ferdinand IV, Queen Caroline, and Jacqueline Kennedy. An overnight stay costs about PHP 350,000 a night, while a visit to the park is only PHP 250.Still from The White Lotus, Season 2, HBO

Noto - Daphne wanted to visit Noto because of its baroque architecture. Noto, located in the south-east side of Sicily, was devastated by an earthquake back in 1693. Now it is listed in the UNESCO World Heritage Site as “Late Baroque Towns of the Val di Noto”. The city’s plan has an almost perfect symmetry.

Noto - At a limestone piazza in Corso Vittorio Emmanuele, Noto’s main street, Daphne tells Harper about the mind games she plays on her husband Cameron. With the Noto Cathedral as a backdrop, Aubrey Plaza as Harper recreates a Monica Vitti scene from the classic La Ventura where she gets surrounded by men gawking at her.Still from The White Lotus, Season 2, HBO

Villa Elena, Noto - This villa is actually Villa Elena in Noto and is the private residence of renowned interior designer Jacques Garcia. Its structure’s history is felt and seen in the many layers of the space. @jacquesgarcianoto

Villa Elena, Noto - In an interview with Architectural Digest, Garcia says “This 17th-century monastery is built on a 12th-century Norman villa, which replaced a 10th-century Moorish palace, which replaced a fifth-century Roman house, which replaced a Greek villa of the third century before Jesus Christ.” Are you keeping up? @dollfusd

Villa Elena, Noto - The interiors are richly baroque and are inspired by three Roman palazzi: Pallavicini-Rospigliosi, Doria Pamphilj, and Colonna.@dollfusd

Villa Elena, Noto - Built with the most prestigious materials such as majolica tiles, colored marble, and rococo-style mirrors, Villa Elena blended Arabian, Norman, Renaissance and baroque influences. Walls are covered in damask silk and baroque paintings in gilded frames. It was a perfect location for Quentin to lure Tanya for an indulgent night.@__k__u__u
