They know we got married there, they know Italy is so close to our heart.” Inside Chrissy Teigen and John Legend’s $1,600-Per-Night Bali Hotel The sentimental connection goes back even further than the couple’s 2013 nuptials at the exclusive Villa Pizzo. On a visit last summer with then-three-month-old Luna, Tiegen took to Instagram to share the story of her and Legend’s memorable first trip in 2007. “Back to where it all began,” she wrote on Instagram. “A boat tour guide took us to a little spot on the lake and told us to make a wish,” she writes. “I asked for this to be the man I marry and have children with. I think John asked for the most perfect bite of cacio e pepe. Both came true and here we are.” The couple also returned to the stunning, modern home where they shot the video for Legend’s 2013 single All of Me.

Everything’s a song. John loves it, its so beautiful.” And as a bonafide foodie and cookbook author, Tiegen can certainly appreciate the country’s many famous bites. “The food is incredible, of course, and they just knock it out of the park every single time,” she says, adding “Yeah, it’s just like it’s home.”
