Honeymoon Bliss in Italy: Venice, Florence, Rome & Amalfi Coast
Falling head over heels in Italy happens not by plan, but through small, vivid scenes unfolding one evening into the next. A twelve-day trip begins in Venice with a quiet boat ride along canals shimmering under twilight, leading to a cozy tavern lit only by candles. From there, the rhythm shifts in Florence: skipping noisy streets means walking peaceful lanes lined with old workshops, handcraft signs and later, rolling through rolling vineyards under golden light. A weekend retreat unfolds with private wine sessions tucked inside charming estates, followed by a hearty meal beneath oak trees swaying in the breeze. Rome offers broad ancient charm alongside quiet nights with exclusive tours of the Colosseum and the Vatican lead into leisurely walks across silent piazzas, cold treats in hand while constellations twinkle above. From there, movement shifts toward the Amalfi Coast with a key visit to Pompeii before arrival in Positano, where ocean views blend with a restful atmosphere. A day aboard a private boat waits, revealing tucked-away coves along with a last evening feast perched near the sea's edge. Built slowly, deeply human in touch, this trip fits pair travelers seeking iconic moments alongside deeper meaning.
