Tuscany — 8 Nights, Honeymoon
Tuscany has been a honeymoon destination for centuries, and there's a reason it keeps winning — nowhere else on earth puts the Uffizi and a Renaissance palazzo hotel within walking distance of each other, then transitions in under an hour's drive to a Chianti wine estate where dinner is cooked over a wood fire and the hills roll away to the horizon in every direction. This eight-night itinerary spends three nights in Florence — the Uffizi without rushing, Michelangelo's David at the Accademia, a private pasta class in a Florentine kitchen, and the view from Piazzale Michelangelo at sunset with a bottle of Chianti and nowhere to be — before a rental car delivers you to the Tuscan countryside for five nights at a 12th-century estate in the Chianti hills. The remaining days move through Siena's shell-shaped piazza, the cypress and farmhouse scenery of the Val d'Orcia, Saturnia's free outdoor geothermal hot springs, and a dawn hot air balloon flight over the valley that ranks as one of the most romantic experiences available anywhere in Europe. Two hotels, a rental car for the countryside, every booking link in place, and a budget that lands comfortably within $15,000 for two in shoulder season.
