Pleased to meet you.
Villa Piacere è Aperta. Piacere Villa is Open! A Villa Piacere è Aperta. Piacere Villa is Open! After 2.5 years, we are beyond proud to finally open the doors to Piacere Villa, our creative production studio. What was meant to be a 7 month project turned into a 2 year uphill battle after getting scammed by The Bush Group (Sean Graf & Adrian Bush, please make yourself aware and stay far away from these con artists). They took upwards of $150K cash, left our space in complete disarray and disappeared, leaving us to pick up the pieces and figuring out how we were going to get back on track and somehow make this work. We later found out we were just one of 12+ victims... This boat rocked, but it never tipped. We kept grinding, putting every penny we made back into this space to rebuild what was stolen from us. And now, standing here today, we know one thing for sure: nothing worth having comes easy. A massive THANK YOU to everyone who gave us a look, took a chance on us and helped us get here. Please come and enjoy it. It’s just as much yours as it is ours. This space was built out of passion and love—for our partners, our friends, and our family. photography, cinema + film, cooking, cocktails + beers + wine, unwinding, Piacere Villa is a home for it all. Reach out for a tour / book Grazie, grazie. ❤️ -Adam + Michael James
