Dive into our guide to these beautiful Italian hotspots. Sardinia's pristine beaches and turquoise waters set the stage for lazy strolls and intimate sunsets, while Sicily's historical gems and passionate culture provide a captivating backdrop for your love story. There’s also canal-laced charm, dreamy ambiences and cliffs overlooking idyllic bays. Romantic, right?

Sardinia

With its secluded coves, powdery beaches and crystalline waters, Sardinia creates an enchanting canvas for couples seeking an intimate escape. Picture yourselves wandering hand in hand through the narrow, cobbled streets of Alghero's Old Town, or sharing a quiet moment on the pink sands of Spiaggia Rosa.

Sicily

Romance is woven into the very fabric of Sicily. You’ll find dramatic coastlines, ancient ruins and charming villages set to spend your days. As the sun dips below the horizon casting a golden glow over Mount Etna, there’s no better place to sip an Aperol spritz and chat the night away with your partner. We recommend taking a boat trip while in Sicily – it’s great for capturing some loved-up pictures.

Sorrento

Perched on the cliffs overlooking the azure waters of the Bay of Naples, Sorrento stands as a romantic haven that captures the essence of Italian charm. We’re talking pastel-hued buildings and panoramic views. Vibrant bougainvillea spills over wrought-iron balconies, and each corner reveals a postcard-perfect vista – what’s more romantic than this magical location? A candlelit dinner along the seafront promenade is probably what you’re looking for and Sorrento delivers just that.

Venetian Riviera

Beyond Venice, the Venetian Riviera unfolds with sandy shores and seaside resorts that offer an idyllic setting, perfect for romantic retreats. Enjoy leisurely afternoons on the beaches of Lido di Jesolo, or take a leisurely bike ride through the picturesque landscapes of Cavallino-Treporti. You can tick off all there is to offer and a visit to the streets of Venice is a must! Glide along the waterways in a gondola and the romance will be at an all-time high. Finish up with some architectural spotting and a coffee in a quaint café.

Lake Garda

Nestled amidst the rolling hills of northern Italy, Lake Garda is sure to capture your hearts with its breathtaking landscapes. The crystal-clear waters of the largest lake in Italy call for a leisurely boat ride. Not to mention the towering peaks of the Dolomites to the north and the gentle slopes of olive groves and vineyards to the south. You’re certainly not short of intimate scenes! A glass of local wine in a soft sunset glow has got to be at the top of your list, especially in a bar in one of Lake Garda’s lovely villages.

Tuscany

Art, history and the fragrance of Tuscan cuisine meld into a perfect union here. Imagine marvelling at the medieval streets of Florence or drinking in the views of the Val d'Orcia, with its cypress-lined avenues and golden fields. Picnic, anyone? If you like to get out and about, a trip to a vineyard is a great shout. From the Renaissance architecture of Pisa to the romantic ambiance of hilltop towns like San Gimignano, Tuscany is a couple's haven.
