Ah, romantic places in Italy! Just the name gives us chills, excellent VayCay couple. It’s not just the cobbled streets that whisper ancient secrets, the sunny squares teeming with life, or the pasta so good it should be illegal. It is the whole symphony of experiences, the heady mix of history, passion and la dolce vita that wraps you in its warm embrace and refuses to let go.
We would pack our bags and board the next plane to Italy at any moment, any second, just for a glimpse of:
The fiery romance: From the words of Romeo and Juliet in Verona to the kisses of the Venice Gondola, Italy in Europe is full of love. It’s in the air, in the food, in the way the locals glance around a sunny square.
The culinary deal: We are not just talking about pizza and pasta, although these are legendary in the best places in Italy for couples. From melt-in-the-mouth burrata to flawless al dente risotto, Italy pampers your senses with fresh, seasonal foods.
The artistic masterpiece: Every corner is a museum, every building a work of art. Italy is a living example of human creation, from the ruins of Rome to the Renaissance masterpieces of Florence. And let’s not forget the fashion! Even walking through a tiny village is like walking down a corridor.
The relaxed pace: Life in Italy slows down, inviting you to enjoy every moment. Enjoy a cappuccino in a bustling square while watching the sunset paint the hills and lose yourself in conversation and laughter.
And speaking of romance, we’ve been lucky enough to experience some of the most enchanting romantic breaks that Italy has to offer.
Here are some of our favorites, just waiting to sweep you off your feet:
- Cinque Terre: Our romantic getaway in Italy! Hand in hand we conquered those cliff edge paths, rewarded with breathtaking panoramas and hidden coves begging for a romantic dip. A meal in the deep blue with only the salty breeze and rhythmic waves was heavenly. We still laugh about the time we got hopelessly lost in the charming alleys of Riomaggiore, only to emerge hand in hand in a sunny piazza filled with the aroma of fresh focaccia!
- Positano, oh Positano! We continue to nibble remembering this infinity pool overlooking the Cerulean Sea, sipping limoncello as the sun sinks below the horizon. This private boat tour through hidden caves, hand in hand, was like something out of a movie. And the feast of fresh seafood on a moonlit terrace? Well, let’s just say we wouldn’t trade that memory for all the pasta in the world (and that’s saying something!).
- Orvieto it also holds a special place in our hearts, a secret love nest hidden in a volcanic rock. Lost in the tangled corridors, mesmerized by the magnificent mosaics, we spent hours whispering secrets in the quiet of the Duomo. There’s something about sharing a bottle of Orvieto wine as the sun paints the Umbrian countryside that whispers of timeless romance.
- Bellagio, on the other hand, it was all about la dolce vita. Gliding down Lake Como on a private boat, hand in hand, feeling like a movie star. Walking through gardens full of flowers, our senses intoxicated by the scent of roses and lavender. And those luxurious spa treatments for two? Let’s just say we showed up feeling like royalty, ready to conquer the world (or at least, another plate of pasta!).

- Trophies it was a delightful surprise, a living gem of Calabria where romance meets relaxed charm. Snorkeling in hidden coves, hand in hand, was like exploring a secret underwater world. Dancing under the stars at a beach disco, laughing and twirling with the sand between our toes, is a memory we will cherish forever. And sunset strolls through the historic center, hand in hand, the air thick with the scent of bougainvillea and freshly baked bread, was pure romance.
- After all, Pienza, a Tuscan dream come true. Walking hand in hand along Via del Bacio and Via dell’Amore, sharing a knowing smile at the sweet irony, was just the beginning. Enjoying decadent pecorino cheese in a cozy trattoria, the clinking of glasses and the murmur of conversation creating a symphony of intimacy. And that panoramic view of the rolling vineyards from the main square? We could stay there forever, hand in hand, lost in the beauty of it all.
