When I think of romantic getaways abroad, the first place that springs to mind is Italy. It's language is known as the language of love, it's steeped in rich history and it boasts some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world, what more could you want from a romantic trip away? Oh and not forgetting the food a because let's face it, if anyone knows how to do amazing food, it's the Italians!

One of the Italian destinations on my 'to visit one day' wish list is Venice. I know it's a bit of a cliché but I've always wanted to enjoy a relaxing Gondola ride down the narrow canals and be taken back in time. I imagine it looks stunning in the evenings and can already picture myself sat outside with a glass of wine in hand, my love by my side, watching the beautiful lights reflecting on the water. I feel like it's definitely more of a destination for couples than families as I can't imagine a Gondola ride with a toddler-in-tow being wildly romantic (wild definitely, romantic not so much) so it's perhaps somewhere we'll visit when Arthur's a little older!

Somewhere else I'd love to visit is Lake Garda. I've actually stayed in Lake Garda with my family before but I can't remember a whole lot of it, as I was much younger. I do remember having the best pizzas ever at the local restaurants and enjoying the hot, mediterranean climate. I'd really love to go back and witness the striking mountains and crystal clear lake as an adult. I feel like I'd truly appreciate all it has to offer now.

Florence is the home of the Renaissance and often regarded as one of the most beautiful cities in the world, so what better place to head to for a romantic getaway? I'd love to see the Duomo and take a look around some of the galleries and museums. I can imagine my other half being fascinated with the architecture!

Of course, this isn't my finalised list, I'd love to visit the Sistine Chapel in Rome, drive along the Amalfi Coast, stand on Juliet's Balcony in Verona and stay in a Trullo in Puglia. There are so many places I'd love to visit in Italy, if we get chance one day. I think it ticks all of the boxes as a romantic holiday destination and can truly see why it's one of the top choices for honeymooners too!
