5Romantic Atmosphere
Italy’s romantic charm is legendary.
Whether you’re strolling along the picturesque canals of Venice, admiring the sunset over the Amalfi Coast, or enjoying a gondola ride in Venice, the country oozes romance at every turn. Couples can also find serenity in the enchanting gardens of Villa d’Este in Tivoli or the Boboli Gardens in Florence.
If there’s a common word that describes the hotels of the Greek islands, it’s 'epic'. The stereotype of a Greek island guest room is practically legendary: whitewashed walls, cave-like forms, and impossible views from cliffs overhanging the sea. It’s one of the better formulas you’ll find anywhere and, like the sirens of Greek mythology, it’s an irresistible scene that has attracted travelers for decades.
