When most people dream of a romantic trip to Italy,
they picture gondola rides in Venice or a kiss by the Colosseum in Rome. And while those moments have their charm, some of Italy’s most memorable destinations are a little quieter, a little less discovered—and just perfect for couples looking to celebrate something special.
Whether it’s a honeymoon, anniversary, or just an excuse to get away together, here are four romantic Italian towns that offer beauty, history, and that slow, just-us feeling.
Set in the heart of Tuscany’s rolling hills, Pienza is a small Renaissance town with sweeping views, quiet cobblestone streets, and some of the best pecorino cheese you’ll ever try. It's a place where time slows down—and that’s exactly what makes it so romantic. Mornings here are for wandering hand in hand through sunlit alleys; afternoons are made for wine tastings and long lunches with a view of the countryside.
Where to stay: La Bandita Townhouse – A boutique hotel in a former convent, tucked into the historic center.
Often overlooked in favor of its flashier neighbor Portofino, Camogli is a pastel-painted fishing village on the Ligurian coast that feels like a love letter to summer. Picture aperitivo by the water, beach strolls without the crowds, and cozy seafood dinners by candlelight. It’s a place where everything feels simple in the best possible way.
Where to stay: Hotel Cenobio dei Dogi – Perched above the sea, this historic hotel offers unbeatable views and a private beach.
Verona may be known for Romeo & Juliet, but the real romance is found in its quiet piazzas, historic palaces, and golden-hour walks along the Adige River. It’s the kind of city that invites you to linger. Perfect for couples who want the cultural richness of Italy without the pace of its larger cities.
Where to stay: Due Torri Hotel – A luxurious, old-world property in the heart of Verona with rooftop views and elegant charm.
High above the busier towns of Positano and Amalfi, Ravello is a peaceful hilltop retreat known for its lush gardens, breathtaking vistas, and artistic legacy. It’s less about beach clubs and more about lingering over a glass of wine with a view that stretches for miles.
Where to stay: Caruso, A Belmond Hotel, Amalfi Coast – Set in an 11th-century palace with one of the most iconic infinity pools in Italy, this romantic retreat blends timeless elegance with world-class service.
If Tuscany is calling your name, you're not alone. This November, I’m hosting a curated small-group trip to the Chianti region—another swoon-worthy destination for romance, wine, and golden countryside views.
Whether you're traveling with your partner or just love the idea of slowing down in Italy, this trip is designed to immerse you in the beauty, flavors, and warmth of Tuscany.
