Italian Honeymoon Villas
Italy is the most romantic of destinations and Tuscany a jewel in Italy. But not all Romantic retreats are the same - here is a list of our five best villas in Tuscany and Umbria for couples and honeymoons.
Some are best for relaxing with champagne and romance, others perfect as a base for long walks in the hills, returning to a simple meal in front of a stunning view.
1. Casa Andrea
Tuscany Honeymoon villa close to San Gimignano
San Gimignano | For food and history lovers
Casa Andrea is a very recent addition to our houses, and is a very well-appointed cottage on a ridge just 3km away from San Gimignano. With underfloor heating and a Jacuzzi hot tub perfectly placed to take in the long-reaching views over Chianti, this is a house that has space for four, with two double bedrooms, but I think is ideal for a romantic getaway, a place to re-kindle romance or perhaps to propose and take the your relationship to the next step!

2. Scuderia
Romantic retreat in a medieval church
Roccastrada, Maremma | For a real getaway
Scuderia is located in Pieve di Caminino, a little hamlet in the beautiful Maremma countryside between Roccastrada and Massa Marittima, is set in a natural, verdant amphitheatre, with enormous olive groves extending down from the wooded, rocky background towards the coast.

3. Noce
Cottage within walking distance of a Tuscan village
Casole d'Elsa, Siena | For village life
Being close to a village is a wonderful experience: a brief walk will take you into Casole d'Elsa, which boasts several cafes and restaurants, a couple of grocery stores, and even a couple of tiny art galleries for resident artists. Walk up for breakfast, then buy some fresh produce and wander home for a fresh lunch and spend the afternoon by the pool; it's a real Tuscan delight.
