A light-hearted romantic comedy set in an Italian villa where misunderstandings and youthful chaos disrupt a wealthy man's romantic plans, ultimately leading to warmth and connection.

Meanwhile, his sneaky business associate Maurice secretly misappropriates the villa as a hotel while Talbot is away. The current guests of the "hotel" are a group of young American girls.
