Want Your Own White Lotus 2 Moment in Sicily?
White Lotus is a television show that premiered on HBO in July 2021. Created by Mike White, the show is a satirical drama that explores the lives of guests and employees at a luxury resort in Hawaii. The second season was set in Sicily and from there viewers flocked to Sicily to have the White Lotus experience for themselves.
In episode 3 Daphne mentions the town Noto several times and how she wants to take a day trip there and she arranges for a visit to the town for her and Harper. Noto is located on the east coast of the island of Sicily, Italy. It is known for its stunning Baroque architecture, which has earned it the title of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Noto was completely rebuilt in the Baroque style following an earthquake in 1693, and today it is considered one of the finest examples of Baroque town planning and architecture in Europe. In that episode they stay at the stunning Villa Tasca in Noto and great news, you can stay there too!
