Romantic interludes Italy is probably the most romantic country in Europe , a country where romance is not only in the beautiful landscapes , buildings and atmosphere , but where romance is a way of life . This touring holiday includes a stay at three very romantic and yet very different hotels , each enjoying marvellous locations , two on the dramatic Italian coastline and one amid the forested hills and vineyards of Chianti country in Tuscany .

From Tuscany to the Amalfi Coast From the cradle of Italian culture you start your holiday amid the Chianti vineyards of Tuscany , an excellent base for exploring cities and countryside . Then you head south through southern Tuscany to the rural heart of Umbria . A stop en route near Frascati in the Alban Hills allows for relaxation or perhaps a visit to Rome . Then finally the dramatic coastline and azure sea of the Amalfi Coast , with its lemon groves .
