11 Romantic Places to Visit in Italy

"I almost wasn’t going to add the Amalfi Coast to this list, given that its popularity has resulted in the stunningly beautiful region really heaving under the weight of over-tourism. But there’s a reason everyone wants to come here for their destination wedding or honeymoon — it’s simply breathtaking, once you can leave the crowds behind. The best way to do this is to pick one place to stay — I like Amalfi town — and enjoy a low-key holiday of beach days, shopping, hiking, and wine-tasting without trying to see every town on the coast. A short distance from Amalfi, Hotel Santa Caterina is lemon-tinged, majolica-tiled perfection." - Elizabeth Heath Elizabeth Heath Elizabeth Heath is a writer and editor living on a hill in Umbria, from where she writes about travel in Italy, the rest of Europe, and farther afield.
