Italy is a country full to the brim with passion and beauty, and one of the most romantic honeymoon destinations imaginable. Those looking for picturesque countryside escapes will love the rolling green hills of Tuscany dotted with quaint villages as well as some exceptionally beautiful cities such as Pisa, Florence and Siena. For a taste of the traditional Mediterranean, head south towards the laid back, beachy region of Puglia for a villa break; stopping along the way stop for pizza in Naples and a history lesson in Pompeii. For a cultural break, the incomparable cities of Rome, Milan, Venice and Verona - each with their own distinctive personalities - are all firm favourites. Meanwhile, for mountain escapades, the north of Italy - home to the Dolomites - holds plenty of opportunity for activities, whether you want to hike, bike, ski or road trip together, or simply lock yourselves away in a cabin in the woods where the only company you'll have is from the local deer and the odd mountaineer that passes you by. Whether you want to explore one place in depth or combine all of the above for the trip of a lifetime, one thing is for certain - Italy honeymoons have something for everyone, and all topped off with plenty of delicious food and wine. The icing on the torta? The word 'romantic' even has Roman in it.

"Emily really understood what mattered to us and created a trip that felt completely personalised and thoughtfully organised. We had time to relax in Naples after each excursion, our transport provider was friendly and always on time, and it was a pleasure to be looked after by a local, who added an authentic touch to the whole trip. Visiting Herculaneum and Pompeii was a particular highlight - our guide was truly exceptional, making the visits truly memorable with an excellent command of English and an impressive knowledge of world history as well as the sites themselves."

"Our Concierge was brilliant and super helpful - we'd recommend travelling with Original Travel based on her help alone! The Concierge was a new thing for us as previous travel companies did not have this feature, and we thought this was invaluable. We particularly enjoyed the food tour in Ragusa, seeing Mount Etna, driving in Ortigia and the sunset in Marsala. It is the first time we have used Original Travel and we were very happy with the service."

"Emily really listened and understood what I was looking for, and developed a fantastic itinerary based on that. The personalised tour of Siena was a real highlight - I had asked if we could see some James Bond filming locations, and our guide took a lot of time to review the films and take us to the exact streets, balconies, doorways and squares seen in the films. We all loved it, especially our boys, who are James Bond enthusiasts."

What can you expect on Italy honeymoons that you won't find anywhere else?


We’re sure you don’t need to hear the pitch, but here’s a quick reminder...Italian food is tantalisingly close to perfection, and the landscape - from beautiful island beaches to cypress tree-topped hills and soaring mountains - has something for pretty much everyone.

Suffice to say this is a country that gives France a run for its money as the perfect short-haul honeymoon destination, and it's all there on our metaphorical doorstep so you don't have to kick off what should be a well-earned rest with a tiresome overnight flight anywhere. Whether you head to the hilltop towns along the Amalfi Coast, the rolling hills of Tuscany or the more undiscovered region of Puglia, your Italy honeymoon will be a winner.
