Ahhh Italy…no better place for a honeymoon, right? Â But such a big country has so much to offer – how to decide where to go? Â Well Andrea Sertoli of Select Italy is here with all the answers!
Italy is made for lovers, especially newlyweds. Every region has its own amorous qualities and aphrodisiac attractions to inspire and seduce, and now, many are discovering the wonder of a trip that combines visits to the Amalfi Coast and Rome. These two locations balance activity and relaxation to provide a well-rounded honeymoon full of romance, culture and plenty of photo opportunities.  Here are Select Italy’s recommendations for the perfect balance of travel and tranquility in Rome and Amalfi:
- Head to the countryside:  Amalfi is known for its lemon and olive groves – the perfect place for a visit to a farm where you can tour and taste the local fare. Try out the goods of the coast with Select Italy’s Coastal Flavors tour where you’ll lunch on local cuisine and taste wines at a nearby vineyard.
- Wander cliff-side towns: Whether you’re staying in Positano, Sorrento or Ravello, the Amalfi Coast is home to countless quaint towns with winding streets nestled into seaside cliffs. Walk the streets hand-in-hand, exploring and shopping.
- Escape to the Island: Visit the island of Capri, one of the world’s best honeymoon locations. Take the ferry or make your visit a private adventure with Select Italy’s Capri boat excursion. You’ll explore the island on foot and cruise the coast. See the Blue Grotto and take an afternoon swim in the Tyrrhenian Sea.
- Rock the Night Away: Rome is a cultural mecca and hosts a bevy of events including concerts and musicfestivals. Look for big name musical celebrities or get acquainted with local culture by hearing a local band.
- Take a Roman Holiday: Thanks to Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck, Rome is known as one of the most romantic cities in the world. Â Retrace their steps with visits to the Trevi Fountain and Bocca della Verita’.
- Take in the Art: Spend an evening surrounded by some of the word’s most extraordinary art in the Sistine Chapel during a private, after-hours visit to the Vatican Museums. After the crowds have left for the day, you and your private guide will have the museum to yourselves so you can enjoy Michelangelo’s masterpiece without being pushed, shoved or shushed.
- Linger Over an Espresso: Take a romantic evening stroll around the Pantheon and you’ll find some of the best espresso.  Sant’Eustachio is said to serve the best cup of coffee in Rome and is right outside.
You found your perfect match. Celebrate the power of two with this terrific Italian duo. Now that’s amore!
