Italy is one of the most romantic places on the planet, with beautiful small towns, sweeping landscapes, incomparable history, and food that calls for seconds. No matter if you’re dreaming of the ocean, cultural wanderings or picnics down at the vineyard, Italy has unforgettable experiences for all types of honeymooners.

“You’ll never forget your honeymoon in Italy thanks to its timeless romance, intimate feel and upscale cities,” says travel expert Celeste Moreno. To assist in your planning, we’ve rounded up 10 of the most magical and memorable honeymoon destinations in Italy.

Positano

This cliffside hamlet on the Amalfi Coast oozes Mediterranean romance. Think: pastel buildings, panoramic views and coastal elegance. Take the private boat to Capri, relax at a beach club with an Aperol spritz, and reserve a candlelit dinner with a view of the sea. To be sure, don’t miss the sunset — it’s postcard ready.

Venice

With its dreamy canals and timeless architecture, Venice feels like wondering into a romantic painting. Take a gondola ride at sunset, hold hands while exploring secret passageways and steal a kiss under the Bridge of Sighs. Get to know lesser-traveled neighborhoods for a more intimate trip.

Florence

Tucked away in Tuscany, Florence is a delight for art and wine lovers. Explore the Uffizi Galleries, view the city from above at the Duomo, or drive through the Chianti vineyards for a private wine tasting. There’s no better way to heat things up on your vacation than by taking a couples’ cooking class.

Bellagio (Lake Como)

Known as the “Pearl of Lake Como”, Bellagio features cobbled streets, elegant cafés and breathtaking views of the alps. Stay in a villa on the lakeside and drink espresso next to the water, then charter a private boat to take you on a cruise around the lake. It is luxury and peace and beauty combined.

Ravello

High on a ledge above the Amalfi Coast, Ravello is a peaceful reprieve from the noisier towns below. Wander the gardens of Villa Cimbrone, enjoy endless views of the infinity, or attend a classical concert at Villa Rufolo. It is quiet sophistication at its finest.”

Rome

For history buffs and couples smitten with romance, Rome very well be the perfect honeymoon city, filled with love and culture. Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain, take a Vespa ride through history and enjoy long, late dinners in Trastevere. Every cobblestone street has a story to tell.

Pienza (Val d’Orcia, Tuscany)

Pienza, with its rolling hills and medieval appeal, is Tuscany at its best. Wander through vineyards, picnic on local cheese and wine, or truffle hunting with locals. The views are right out of a Renaissance painting.

Taormina (Sicily)

Taormina marries the best of the coast with the dramatic — think: Greek ruins alongside turquoise waters, with Mount Etna brooding on the plateau behind. Go for a swim near Isola Bella, visit the ancient theater and then close out the night with cocktails at a rooftop bar.

Portofino

Sexy and chic, Portofino suits couples who want sophistication with a view. Sit by the marina with a cappuccino, hire a private yacht collection or head off to hidden coves. The pastel buildings, luxury vibes and quality of light make everything picture-perfect.

Verona

The city of Romeo and Juliet, Verona is steeped in historical and soulful beauty. That could include leaving a love note on Juliet’s balcony, sipping Amarone in a cozy bar or catching an outdoor opera under the stars at the Roman Arena. It’s a fairy tale come to life.

Whether you are there for 10 days or a fortnight, each of these localities provides something which will remain as a life-long memory. From the romance of Venice to the glamour of Lake Como - your Italian honeymoon in 2025 will be a trip of a lifetime.
