Italy at Its Best for Honeymooners

The vows have been said, the cake has been eaten and the bouquet has been thrown; your life as the new Mr. and Mrs. has begun. What better way to celebrate your new life together than with a honeymoon in Italy? Italy is a honeymooner’s paradise. Its allure lies in its breathtaking romance, decadent foods, rich history and sweeping vistas. There are so many options for newlyweds in Italy, but using resources like The Knot can help you narrow your search. In my opinion, the following four locations stand out as the perfect backdrop for your honeymoon paradise.
Venice

Venice is an engineering marvel full of palaces, churches and art. You can spend the day taking a boat ride on the Grand Canal, visiting the Doge’s Palace, and exploring St. Mark’s Basilica. Sneak a kiss or two under one of the many bridges that run throughout the city, and then share a romantic dinner for two at one of the city’s fine restaurants.
Tuscany

Charming villages and fairy tale castles dot the lush landscapes of Tuscany. Spend the night at a luxurious five-star hotel in Maremma, tour the wine regions of Chianti, Montalcino and Montepulciano and then explore Ancient Roman ruins. A Tuscan honeymoon is ideal for food and wine lovers.
Sicily

The island of Sicily is surrounded by the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean. Couples will enjoy the small boutique hotels with their lavish honeymoon suites. Basking in the sun on sandy beaches, visiting quaint seaside villages and sampling sumptuous seafood are just a few of the highlights you can experience on a romantic Sicilian honeymoon.
Cinque Terre
 
Cinque Terre lies along the rugged Italian coastline between Pisa and Genoa. It is composed of a string of villages that are colorful and full of rustic charm. Honeymooners can hike trails from village to village and explore quaint shops and neighborhoods. Sunbathe on rocky outcrops and take a dip in the sea during the day, and at night enjoy stuffed anchovies, pastas in pesto and exotic seafood dishes.
A honeymoon in Italy will be an adventure that will mark your lives with love and adventure. Your happily-ever-after will begin with memories of sun-drenched days and lush, romantic nights that you will both cherish forever.
