Florence

For the love of art

Pleasing her: You can't walk anywhere in Florence without seeing something beautiful and it's possible that women have been proposed to on every square inch of this city—but the Ponte Vecchio, with its rows of jewellery stores linking both sides of the meandering Arno River in a romantic, covered, embrace, is probably one of the prime locations. As well as visiting the Pitti Palace, the Uffizi Gallery visitors inclined towards romance can stay at the Hotel degli Orafi, which is where 'A Room with a View' was filmed.
Pleasing him: Amazing pizza, wine and coffee, served at small tables the kind of picturesque squares that can make any man feel a Casanova. It would be hard not to feel romantic strolling these streets at night, past fountains, statues, great churches and the warm lights of many promisingly intimate cafes and bars. And much of Florence's great art depicts that wonder of nature, the female form.
