1. Lake Como: Timeless Elegance and Charm
Lake Como is one of the most romantic destinations in Italy, perfect for Valentine's Day. Driving along the scenic road along the lake, you can stop in the charming villages of Bellagio, Varenna or Tremezzo. Treat yourself to a romantic dinner in a restaurant with a view and enjoy a walk along the lakeside hand in hand.
Special advice: visit Villa Carlotta or Villa del Balbianello, two historic jewels with enchanting gardens and spectacular views.
2. Monte Isola: A Getaway on Lake Iseo
Monte Isola, in the heart of Lake Iseo, is the perfect destination for those seeking tranquility and authentic charm. You can leave your car in one of the car parks along the lake and take the ferry to the island. Once there, explore the paths on foot and discover the small villages, ideal for a day dedicated to nature and romance.
Special tip: End your visit with dinner in one of the island's restaurants, enjoying local specialities such as lake fish.
3. Franciacorta: Between Vineyards and Bubbles
For a tasteful Valentine's Day, Franciacorta is an ideal choice. The rolling hills dotted with vineyards create a romantic atmosphere. Drive along the Strada del Vino, stopping for a tasting of bubbles and a romantic lunch in a winery.
Special tip: book a private visit to one of the historic cellars and toast your love with a glass of Franciacorta DOCG.
4. Val di Mello: Nature and Relaxation
Val di Mello, in the province of Sondrio, is a hidden gem perfect for a romantic getaway in the middle of nature. Park your car and walk along the paths that run along the stream, surrounded by breathtaking views and snow-covered woods (if you're lucky). A day in the open air will allow you to disconnect from the routine and rediscover your connection with nature.
Special advice: bring a small picnic with hot chocolate or tea and enjoy it immersed in the silence of the valley.
