It was chosen because most beaches in the world that sit below big cliffs disappear beneath the tide for part of every day . Production designer Aline Bonetto and her location manager Charles Somers considered 47 countries and visited several of them before they found what they were looking for . Bonetto explained that, "Italy had beautiful weather, a beautiful blue - green sea, not too much tide, not too much wave .
