Tuscany

The Italian way of life is all about slowing down and enjoying the sweetness of doing nothing. To me, nothing sounds sweeter than a honeymoon (or anniversary!) with the one you love savoring the moment and embracing the Italian way of life. And while you won't exactly "do nothing" - sipping Chianti, looking over the Tuscan countryside or getting lost in the streets of Firenze can have that effect. Here's how to savor the sweet Tuscany region on the perfect romantic trip.

Italy is the ultimate honeymoon destination, and there is no place more romantic than Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast. For newlyweds looking for a luxurious, relaxing and wine-indulging Italian honeymoon, this itinerary will be the cherry on top of an already amazing wedding celebration and unforgettable time in your life.

Tuscany, with its iconic landscapes, historic cities and delectable cuisine, offers an enchanting journey through Italy's rich cultural heritage. From the leaning tower of Pisa to the medieval streets of Siena, the picturesque vineyards of the countryside to the artistic wonders of Florence, each stop on this road trip promises unforgettable experiences and memories to cherish.

Tuscany is truly an untouched gem in the heart of Italy. From the food and wine to the rolling hills and enchanting medieval villages, there is so much rich history and culture to be found, set against an almost fairytale-like backdrop—especially perfect for romantic getaways. Moving south, Tuscany gives way to Umbria and Lazio, offering more breathtaking landscapes and delicious eats and drinks. A road trip is hands-down the best way to travel within these regions, giving you the flexibility to explore at your own pace.

Tuscany is so special to me because it's where my husband and I went on one of our first trips together. Tuscany is known for its rich history, rolling vineyards, and amazing cuisine. It's the most dreamy place surrounded by romance (and wine!) We could not have picked a better location for our Honeymoon.

This multifaceted region in Italy that has more to offer than just its world-renowned vineyards. Embark on a culinary adventure, as you traverse the stunning Tuscan landscape. Immerse yourself in Tuscan cuisine through a visit to a world-renowned butcher and a curated cooking class. No gastronomic adventure in Tuscany would be complete without experiencing the beautiful Chianti wines along the way. October is an ideal time to visit with less crowds and cooler weather. This itinerary is perfect as a romantic retreat for couples or a lively adventure with friends.

Tuscany holds a special place in my heart because it captures everything I love about travel: slow, intentional living; stunning landscapes; and a deep appreciation for food, wine, and culture. Whether you’re wandering through medieval hill towns, sipping Brunello straight from the vineyard, or watching the sunset over golden fields, it feels like stepping into a dream. It’s a place I return to in my mind often, and one I believe everyone should experience at least once.

One of my favorite destinations in Europe, Italy really deserves more than six days! Still, time is a luxury and when you only have six days, it is important to make sure you prioritize the best places to visit in Italy. A perfect itinerary for a first-time visitor, this journey will take you from Florence to the Tuscan countryside and ending in Rome where you will secretly hope your return flight gets canceled. I love this route because it doesn't just show you Italy; it lets you live it, even if just for six days.
