    Don't forget to add Cristina Rosato to the cast list -- people who loved the movie "Finding Christmas" a few years ago will be happy to see her in another Hallmark film!

  2. Would love to know the titles of the French songs in the movie! Thank you!

  3. Yeah, the soundtrack was fabulous, but since I don't know French, I can't search on the lyrics like I normally would. Maybe Hallmark can help us out???

  6. I didn't know what to expect but this was really very nicely acted, no over the top and all characters were realistic. Chef Cupid's publicist was the weak link but thankfully her appearance is really limited. I loved that the teen daughter wasn't over the top and all characters' relationships worked well. I've returned to let the movie run in the background when I cook or even do work, it has a nice pace and excellent music.

  11. I really liked Summer Villa as well! Being a huge fan of Continuum, it was great to see Victor Webster again. Hilarie Burton is cute as a romance novelist with writer's block and Emorphia Margaritas is adorable as her daughter, Abby. A delightful summer escape.

      Summer Villa won't be on at all for the rest of this year. The Christmas movies are solidly in place through January 1st, and the post-holiday schedule is not known this far in advance.

      My guess is that Summer Villa will either be shown on a weekend in January or February. Hallmark certainly won't wait until Summer 2017 to show it again, but I just don't know if it will be shown during Winterfest (January movie event) first or if they will wait and show it during the Countdown to Valentine's Day.

    2. It's not going to be on for a long time. And if you're tired of the Christmas movies already, you might want to steer clear of the Hallmark channel until 2017.

  14. Re Summer Villa....Do you happen to know the artist who did the artwork/canvases that appear a. Behind the Editor's desk in her office and b. At the Summer Villa? I believe both works were done by the same person. Much obliged.

    1. It is France Gall - Quand on Est Ensemble, from 1966. France Gall has a treasure trove of wonderful French pop songs such as this. Many can be seen on Youtube.
