While Gia Giudice and Milania Giudice's visit with their dad, Joe Giudice, in Italy has been filled with memorable moments taking in the stunning sights and enjoying mouthwatering meals, The Real Housewives of New Jersey daughters recently had an unexpected experience at Joe's house that left them feeling rattled. 

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo and stream next day on Peacock.

"The girls were getting ready and all of the sudden there was, like, a lizard or a little iguana in this towel right here because I just got the clothes from outside, hanging outside," Joe said in a November 11 Instagram video. "I literally wrapped it and shook it off outside. Meanwhile, I hear the girls screaming in here...I figured they're fighting. Here they are running around the room because there's a lizard in the room, in the towel that Gia literally, like, wiped herself down with and had around her. I think the lizard was hanging on you, Gia. Milania was sitting in bed with the lizard."

Joe added: "My poor girls had to endure a lizard hanging on their towel."

Although Joe shared he "had to go and take care of it," Milania wasn't quite convinced that her bedroom was lizard-free. "Can you please go look in the bed?" she asked, to which Joe replied, "It's gone, it's not there."

Throughout their trip, Teresa Giudice's daughters have been exploring Italy in style. In addition to coordinating plaid looks during a shopping trip in Rome, for a separate outing, Gia rocked a blue knit sweater, leather leggings, combat boots, and a Chanel purse while Milania donned a tie-waist crop top paired with black joggers and Gucci shoes. Gia captioned a photo of the fun-filled day, "Back like we never left."
