Venice, Verona & Lake Garda
This romantic eight-night break takes you to some of the most enchanting locations in north eastern Italy, from the famous canals and palaces of Venice to the breath-taking natural beauty of Lake Garda, with a visit to the historic city of Verona – the setting for Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet – in between.
In Venice you can take in popular sights like St Mark’s Square and the Rialto Bridge, as well as having plenty of time to explore the atmospheric side streets where many day trippers never venture. Underrated Verona has a lovely city centre home to medieval buildings, with an ancient Roman amphitheatre at its heart and lots of attractive piazzas lined with cafes and restaurants. Then it’s off to nearby Lake Garda, the largest of the Italian lakes, which is famous for its pretty towns, impressive mountain scenery and excellent wines.

Tuscany Coast
As Italy holidays go, is there anywhere more romantic than Tuscany? Tuscany may be famous for its rolling hills and stupendous views, but the region’s often overlooked seaside is one of the country’s best-kept secrets. Located just a short distance from Pisa, the Grand Hotel Royal on the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea is one of the icons of the region. This beach hotel comes with a wealth of star-studded history – it was once a favourite of royalty, artists and celebrities in the early 20th century.
Sumptuous both inside and out, the iconic 4* hotel is located very close to the beach. Here you’ll find complimentary deckchairs and parasols – so we won’t be surprised if you want to spend all your time soaking up the luxurious Tuscan sun. The hotel’s luscious gardens offer a welcome respite from the afternoon heat and are well worth a visit. Enjoy an early evening aperitivo, or take dinner in the gardens, accompanied by bi-weekly live piano music. Lovely!
With an air of faded elegance this beautiful, four-star hotel in Tuscany has been one of their firm favourites for many years. It is ideally located for the beach and the lovely seafront promenade which is atmospheric and particularly lively in the evenings and weekends with music until late.
