Gifted Travel Agent Plans Honeymoon, We Can Relax Like Superstars in Italia
To sum it up, Joan rocks...and she rocks hard. Before we even sealed the deal with her, she sent us over a three page proposal of a to-die-for Italian Honeymoon itinerary along with about 23 scrumptious, glossy, drool-inducing hotel catalogs. We love every single one of her ideas, and aside from the teeny tiny issue of how the hell are we going to afford this, we were ready to just say "BOOK IT ALL!" Spending hours and hours on the internet trying to figure this all out by myself now seems like the most insane gameplan I ever had.
So far this is the plan:
Oct 23: Fly from LA to Naples
Oct 24: Ravello/ Hotel Palazzo Sasso *Sidetrip to a Mozarella Farm and some of the coastal towns like Positano
Oct 27: AnaCapri/ Capri Palace or Quisisana *Relax like superstars
Oct 29: Florence/ Lungarno Apartments (no need to splurge here on a fancy/shmancy hotel) *Sidetrip to Sienna/Chianti to visit the wineries and as much gelato as I can stuff down my throat
Nov 2: Venice/ Cipriani
Nov 4: Fly from Venice to NY
After my imagined (but yet to be achieved) pre-wedding starvation plan, Greg and I intend to stuff our faces heartily in beautiful Italia.
This honeymoon sounds wonderful! We are going to Hawaii but Italy sounds pretty dreamy too.
Hey Erica,
The honeymoon sounds fab.
I'm living in Italy at the moment and have some advice for you. When you stay in Ravello, try to get the Villa Cimbrone, it was Greta Garbo's secret lovenest and is absolutely gorgeous. Quisisana is definitely the best in Capri.
You may be trying to do a bit too much doing the north and south of Italy. It's a fairly large country and would you not rather spend your honeymoon relaxing rather than travelling.
To be honest, I'd reccomend just relaxing along the amalfi coast, seeing ravello, positano, capri etc. There are lots of little private beaches with restaurants and you could go and see Pompeii and Salerno which are lovely.
