Tuscany honeymoons
The natural beauty of the Tuscan hills makes it an instant favourite for European honeymoons, with many hotels featuring specialised honeymoon packages to make your stay extra special. Complimentary additions such as champagne arrivals, private candlelit dinners and even authentic pasta-making courses can spice up your honeymoon. Outside of the hotel, visitors should take advantage of the dozens of olive groves and wineries and take a tour or indulge in a tasting session.
