Last modified on 6/20/25

Explore Italy’s most romantic destinations—plus how to fund your trip with a Honeyfund registry.

Italy is one of the world’s top honeymoon destinations and for good reason. Whether you’re daydreaming about sunset dinners on the Amalfi Coast, rolling through the vineyards of Tuscany, or soaking up the culture in Rome and Florence, Italy offers the perfect mix of romance, adventure, and unforgettable food.

The best part? With a Honeyfund honeymoon registry, your friends and family can help make it all happen.

Why Honeymoon in Italy?

Italy blends beauty, culture, history, and passion in a way few places do. From cruising the coast to wandering through art-filled cities or sipping wine in medieval hill towns, there’s something for every couple.

Top Italy Honeymoon Destinations

Amalfi Coast
Positano, Ravello, and Sorrento deliver postcard views, cliffside resorts, and some of the best food you’ll ever eat. Cruise the coastline, take a pasta-making class, or enjoy a sunset dinner overlooking the sea.

Tuscany
Rolling hills, stone villas, and world-class wine. Spend your days exploring charming towns like San Gimignano, wine tasting in Chianti, and relaxing at a countryside villa.

Lake Como
Quiet, upscale, and wildly romantic. Think boat rides, stunning views, and peaceful luxury.

Rome
Old-world history meets modern-day romance. Visit ancient sites, toss a coin in the Trevi Fountain, and enjoy long dinners in Trastevere.

Sicily
From beaches to ancient ruins, Sicily is packed with culture and character. Visit Taormina, hike Mt. Etna, or unwind at a seaside resort.

Puglia
Looking for something less touristy? Puglia offers charming whitewashed towns, stunning coastlines, and a more affordable, just-as-romantic vibe.
