* AdaptedOut: Only just averted in the case of Ed, who shows up at the end and becomes Frances' love interest. In RealLife, he and Frances bought the house and restored it together. Played straight with Frances Mayes's (grown-up) daughter Ashley, who appears in the book but not the movie (as the movie version of Frances did not have children with her husband).

* VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory: The movie is based on Frances Mayes' 1996 memoir of the same name, but takes a lot of liberties with it. For example, in real life Frances Mayes had got together with Ed ''before'' buying Villa Bramasole, and that was done as a conscious decision rather than on a whim while on holiday.

* {{Ghostwriter}}: Frances briefly becomes this when one of the gay guys on the coach tour asks her to write a postcard for him. He rejects the result as the prose is so flowery and descriptive, his mom will know it's not really from him. Quite how he thought she'd react to the handwriting being completely different as well is not known.

Frances is an author who is happy one day, then finds out her husband is cheating on her and soon ends up divorced and living in a sad little apartment. She finds this situation intolerable, so when her best friend invites her to go on a vacation to Europe, she accepts. While there, she buys a giant villa in Tuscany (of course) on a whim, and spends the rest of the movie fixing it and her life up.
