People We Meet on Vacation: Where was the Netflix movie filmed?

“We lucked out on some beautiful tall pines that were planted by an American outside Barcelona and had this beautiful forest that looked very similar to Canada,” the film’s production designer, Bruce Curtis, told Time Out.

The estate in Catalonia that they filmed on is home to 58 species of conifers that have grown there since 1860.

The Tuscan Villa is based in Spain, too

Poppy’s stunning Tuscan villa? Yup, that’s actually in Catalonia, too. “This was tough to find,’ Bruce told Time Out, ‘because we were really looking for a vista that [tells the viewer] that we are in Tuscany. I was looking for cypress trees, vineyards.” A farmhouse in the Catalonian town of Llagostera provided the perfect swap-in for Tuscany, with its mortared stone walls and open hallways.

New Orleans

For all of the scenes that were supposed to be Ohio, the crew filmed in the suburban neighbourhoods on the outskirts of New Orleans, which gave things a distinctly peaceful and homely vibe — and also perfectly set the scene for some of the film’s more romantic moments.

The film’s production designer grew up in Ohio, so was able to locate the perfect spot that would have the perfect Midwestern feel.
