  1. Oh my gosh these are simply stunning, I think I may be in love! I think I’ve just become even MORE excited about my holiday (I literally didn’t know this was possible). Me and my husband are going to Italy for a romantic getaway – it’s long overdue and we’re so excited for it. We haven’t figured out where we’re staying though yet so this is soooo so helpful! As it’s a special treat my husband has said the sky’s the limit for choosing where we stay (the phrase every woman wants to hear) so I am beyond excited. I was actually reading another sort of similar article earlier that mentioned a place called Villa d’Este which looked great. Is this meant to be a good place to stay? I liked the look of it but thought I’d do a bit of research before booking anything first! So I really wanted to hear other people’s suggestions and opinions! I’m totally open to other places though so any other recommendations people have would be massively appreciated too! Anywhere in Italy is great though, Venice, Rome, Sorrento wherever! Myself and my husband love exploring so we’re open to absolutely any suggestions! Thank you everyone!
