Italy Honeymoon...is anyone doing this??

Italy is GREAT! I lived there for a while. And you can find and do whatever you want, so that's all you have to do. It's a great choice for a honeymoon.

 

RE: a cruise around Italy... Cruises are great because you can see a lot of places and things and you don't have to repack your bags. However, most of the cruises have "all aboard" around 6:00 PM, every night so that they can move to the next port. No Italian town comes to life until 7:00PM at the earliest. So if you really want to experience Italy, a cruise ship won't give you much opportunity. But it's certainly easier.

 

My very favorite places in Italy (in no particular order) are Florence, Siena, Verona, Capri, Orvieto, the Cinque Terre and Taormina (Sicily). Rome is great, but is soooo big. Milan has never been my favorite.

 

So, decide what you want to do - sightsee and visit historical stuff (in which case Florence, Venice, Rome), sit on the beach (Cinque Terre, Portofino/Santa Margherita, Amalfi Coast/Capri, Rimini), see the smaller towns (Verona, Orvieto, Lucca).

 

I can give you some great restaurant and hotel suggestions in pretty much any of the towns I've mentioned.

We're going to live in Italy for 3 months after the wedding... June, July, and August. I'm so excited!!! I used VRBO.com (which stands for vacation rentals by owner) to find a place. They're furnished apartments that you can rent out per week or per month. But if you'd rather stay in a hotel that's different. We're probably going to spend 2 months in Florence, and 1 month in Rome.

If you go right to the top of this page you will see a banner that keeps changing, but it says "Contact a BDW Travel Agent" and the different names of the TA's. If you click on that banner, another window opens and you can then send an email from there. You can select a specific TA. Or you can go to your private messages and send one to TA Melinda.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
