What we think you will like

Italy is probably the most romantic country in Europe, a country where romance is not only in beautiful landscapes, buildings and atmosphere, but where romance is a way of life.  Our suggested itinerary includes a stay in three very romantic but different hotels, each enjoying marvelous locations, two on the dramatic Italian coastline and one amid the forested hills and vineyards of Chianti country in Tuscany.

Some favourite honeymoon havens and venue for a wedding abroad

Hotel Splendido – Portofino

Set on a hillside in four acres of romantic tropical gardens with superb palm trees, the Hotel Splendido overlooks the bay of Portofino.

Today the Splendido still has a patrician air. The principal reception rooms are furnished with old looking glasses, gilt console tables and Persian rugs.

While staying at the Hotel Splendido, we can organize a religious wedding in the church of Portofino or Santa Margherita Ligure, a civil ceremony in the town hall, or simply a blessing in the stunning gardens overlooking the yacht-dotted bay of Portofino! 

The Relais la Surva stands on a hillside commanding beautiful views of the Tuscan countryside.  La Suvera is an exceptional place to stay furnished with antiques throughout and hung with original works of art.

Hotel II Pelicano at Porto Ercole on the Tuscan coast

The Hotel Il Pellicano is situated in Porto Ercole almost directly above the sea, on Italy's Argentario peninsula, overlooking the crystal clear waters which lap this dramatically beautiful part of the Tuscan coast.   Il Pellicano is more a cluster of villas than a traditional hotel, with six cottages and a larger central body in which the reception, bar, Il Pellicano restaurant, Il Puttino Baccante wine cellar and the brand new "Pelliclub" health and beauty with state-of-the-art Technogym equipment, a Roman style steam bath "Calidarium", and four body and facial treatment rooms.

When we think you should visit
