About filming at the villa of Mitch director Mimi Leder told Variety: ‘I hired a drone unit to shoot it all in the air, and then we hired a drone unit in Italy to figure out where we could put our Italian villa. So, we hired a drone unit to shoot from all angles, and then we placed our villa in.’
Villa del Sol d'Oro was the dream house of Los Angeles prominent physician Dr. Walter Jarvis Barlow and his wife, Marion Brooks Barlow. It was designed by Pasadena architect Wallace Neff, who also designed the Gillette Mansion. It is a two-thirds scale replica of the Villa Collazzi near Florence rumored to have been designed by Michelangelo.The house was built in 1924 - 1928 in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. In 1942 the mansion was sold to the Sisters of St. Francis after Dr. Barlow passed away in 1937.
Although it is still used as a school, it has also been a location for television and movie productions as well as the perfect backdrop for print publications.
