Rome: Eternal Charm with a Luxurious Touch
In Rome, the backdrop of love and adventure awaits. Start your journey at the Trevi Fountain, where you can toss a coin together, ensuring your return to this magical city. Art lovers will be mesmerized by the sculptures and frescoes at the Galleria Borghese, where my agency can secure VIP access for an exclusive visit.

No visit to Rome is complete without dining at Michela’s Home Restaurant, where couples can enjoy an intimate dinner prepared by this talented private chef. Thanks to my personal relationship with Michela, I can arrange exclusive bookings, ensuring a truly memorable experience. After savoring exquisite cuisine, take a twilight stroll through Trastevere, where cobblestone streets and hidden piazzas create a perfect romantic ambiance.
Palermo: Savoring Sicilian Flavors Together
For couples who share a passion for food, Palermo is a culinary paradise. Participate in a hands-on cooking class to learn the art of Sicilian pasta making, sharing laughter and new skills. Stroll hand in hand through the vibrant markets of Ballarò and Vucciria, sampling local delicacies like arancini and cannoli, perfect for sharing.
Beyond culinary delights, explore Palermo's cultural treasures, including the Palatine Chapel and the lively streets of the historic center. As the Mediterranean sunset paints the sky, enjoy a romantic walk along the Foro Italico promenade, then settle down for a cozy meal at a seaside restaurant.
Ortigia: Intimate Charm by the Sea
The picturesque island of Ortigia offers a tranquil escape ideal for couples seeking relaxation. Wander the charming alleys of the old town, stopping at Piazza del Duomo to admire the cathedral’s unique blend of ancient and baroque architecture.
For accommodations, consider the Lume Hotel, renowned for its stylish design and intimate atmosphere, offering guests a serene retreat just steps from the sea. The Algia Charme Hotel is another exceptional choice, known for its warm hospitality and stunning views over the harbor, making it a perfect romantic getaway. Both hotels provide a unique charm that enhances the allure of Ortigia.
My agency can also arrange a private wine-tasting session overlooking the harbor, allowing you to savor local Sicilian vintages in an intimate setting. Evenings in Ortigia are enchanting for dining at open-air restaurants by the water, where you can watch the sun dip below the horizon while the gentle sea breeze enhances the romantic atmosphere. Don’t miss exploring the island’s morning food markets together, gathering ingredients for an impromptu picnic along the coast.
Taormina: Breathtaking Views and Coastal Splendor
Perched high above the Ionian Sea, Taormina is a coastal gem perfect for couples. Visit the ancient Greek Theatre, where panoramic views of Mount Etna provide an unforgettable photo opportunity. Spend leisurely afternoons wandering along Corso Umberto, a charming street filled with luxury boutiques, cafés, and galleries.
For a romantic stay, consider the Villa Carlotta, known for its stunning views and luxurious accommodations, or the Four Seasons Hotel San Domenico, which offers unparalleled service and opulent amenities. Both hotels are the best in town and provide exclusive VIP access through my agency, ensuring a truly unforgettable experience. Unwind with a sunset walk through the Villa Comunale gardens, surrounded by fragrant flowers and stunning coastal vistas.
