Missing your White Lotus fix? You can always wait until season 3 drops (hurry up already), but if that’s just not soon enough, there is another way that you can get a taste of this unmissable drama. 

Villa Tasca – the jaw-droppingly beautiful Sicilian villa that Harper and Daphne stayed at during the third episode of season 2 – is now available to rent on Airbnb. For a hefty $8,500 a night (and there’s a three-night minimum stay).

For that much dosh, you’d rightly expect five-star everything, and this stunning four-bedroom palazzo delivers in style – your stay includes housekeeping, room attendants, a chef and a butler. There’s also an indoor lift, chandeliers hanging from soaring ceilings, gold-framed paintings, pricey antiques and neoclassical frescoes. BYO edibles, though.

Outside, there’s a gorgeous pool surrounded by roses and 20 acres of magnificent gardens, replete with citrus trees, stone-bordered pathways and even swans floating gracefully on a pond.

While the episode in question saw the girls travelling to Noto, the villa is actually located in between Palermo and Monreale. Not that we’re here to split hairs – if we could stay in a place like this, we wouldn’t care if it was on the moon. 

If you really have the big bucks to spend, you can even stay at Villa Elena – where Tanya partied with Quentin and his retinue of creepy hangers-on and murderous coke dealers. 

Confusingly, while these episodes were set in Palermo, this villa is in Noto. Perhaps the location scout was so dazzled by all the opulence, they got their place names mixed up?

Anyway, this place is so expensive, they won’t even tell you how much it costs on the website

If you’re not drowning in dollars (and right now, who is?), you can still get close to the action and visit Villa Tasca park for a mere €3.50. Stay in nearby Palermo and make a day trip of it – if you throw in the theme music to the opening credits and some good old-fashioned sex, lies and betrayal, and it’ll be just like being in the show.
