Having a Romantic Honeymoon in Italy

Summarized by Dina Mardiana

In 2007, Italy still topped the list as the number one honeymoon destination in Modern Bride magazine's annual "Best honeymoons" survey. Italy has one difficulty however - it is also one of the top tourist destinations. To avoid being overwhelmed by tourists and ensure that you do get some private time on your honeymoon, try to book your vacation for the off or mid-season.

The off-season is during the winter months: January to the end of March; the mid-season, which runs from the middle of September to mid-December, and April to June, are ideal times to visit Italy. The temperate spring and fall seasons provide the perfect climate for explorations and excursions, bicycle rides and romantic candle-lit dinners.

Before choosing a honeymoon destination in Italy, you need to know the time of year that you are getting married in Italy. For instance, if you are getting married in Italy in the summer, then you may choose a coastal Italy honeymoon destination as the cities tend to be hot and crowded. Both the Amalfi Coast and Portofino are stunning.

However if you are getting married in the winter, these Italy honeymoon destinations may not be as beautiful and vibrant in the colder months. During this time you may want to consider a city vacation like Rome, Florence or even Venice.

If your ideal honeymoon in Italy would be a combination of relaxing days at the beach, and a trip back in time, you won't do better than to stay among the harbor villages and historic ruins of the Amalfi Coast. If you do not mind the idea of spending part of your honeymoon in Italy among the crowds of one of the world's great cities, head for Rome: from the glories of Vatican City, the Villa Borghese, and basilica St.Peter.

For a romantic honeymoon Italy vacation in Florence, try Perillo Tours. They offer a great 4 night stay in this beautiful city surrounded by some of the most amazing scenery and landscapes in the world. You will spend the 4 nights at the Santa Maria Novella hotel and breakfast will be included in your stay. This specific tour is also provided in the off season and makes for a great getaway and a chance to truly experience Italy without the crowds.

The city of Venice, Italy is by far one of the most romantic places. One of the most well frequented sights to see is St. Mark's square. If you want to stay close to this grand location then make sure to check out the Concordia hotel which overlooks this square. It would be nice to take a nice gondola ride and really see the city from one of the best vantage points you can.

You can save some real money by going on a cruise on one of the vaporetto and see the city without spending a bundle. This is one of the better ways of seeing a lot of sights if you do not have a whole lot of time. The vaporetto are the bus system in Venice and are very well run and maintained to keep the tourists happy.
