Timeless Italy
Fly to Pisa for the short train journey directly from the airport to Florence, which has got to be one of the most romantic cities in the world, whether strolling across the Ponte Vecchio in the early evening, picnicking in the Boboli gardens, delighting in Donatello’s David, or dining in a backstreet trattoria.
The Hotel Aprile, a former 15th century palace, makes the perfect base for your three night stay, before collecting a car downtown and driving just the other side of hilltop Orvieto, with its wonderful Duomo, to the Locanda Palazzone, which combines baronial minimalism with heavenly views.
Two nights of Umbrian pastoral perfection before continuing east to the Marche coast for three nights at the art-deco Hotel Emilia, with its stunning location on the dramatic Monte Conero coastline.
Hiring that posher car may have been worth it for your four hour drive down the Adriatic coast to baroque Lecce and beyond, where you wind down completely for a week at the sublime Masseria Montelauro. Love the one you’re with in the hotel’s tranquil grounds just five minutes drive from coastal Otranto and the beaches of southern Puglia before flying back from Brindisi or Bari to the somewhat less idyllic reality of married life.
