"The Concierge were responsive and helpful on the couple of occasions we contacted them, and the hotels were great. Our favourite was Hôtel Version Maquis Santa Manza, Bonifacio - the buggy ride to the secluded beach was amazing! We really enjoyed the 4x4 tour of the Agriates desert too, and the guide was very good."

"Izzy has arranged a few European trips for us and she is fabulous. We have high expectations and were very happy with our trip. Our tour guide for three days was outstanding and the restaurant recommendations were exactly as we hoped. We do a lot of travel and this trip is at or near the top."

France is indisputably a land of romance and beauty, from its quaint villages complete with charming centuries-old buildings and grand chateaux, to the uber elegant Parisian streets lined with cute bakeries selling fresh baguettes and chic boutiques selling designer good. And then there’s the Loire Valley, which is home to real-life fairy-tale castles. Set off on a privately guided tour of Château de Chenonceau, one of France's most popular tourist attractions, and admire the stunning architecture and picturesque setting while your guide shares tales of its storied past; it’s a must-see on a France romantic holiday.


If you want to escape the hustle and bustle, head to the small island of Île de Ré, located off the west coast of France. With its uninterrupted beaches, chich towns and snaking cycling routes, it is one of the country’s best-kept secrets. Be sure to explore the island's many vineyards and taste some of the finest wines France has to offer.


Of course, no list of France romantic holiday would be complete without mentioning Paris. The ‘City of Love’ needs no introduction and it is simply overflowing with romantic experiences. Soak up the city views from the top of the Eiffel Tower, enjoy a leisurely stroll along the Seine and share a candlelit dinner in one of the city's many Michelin-starred restaurants. Paris is sure to ignite the romance.
