Suggestions for first holiday (honeymoon) with 4 month old baby

[clarita]

Hello

We're expecting our first baby in late December and have a wedding planned for late April 07.

We're thinking about Southern Europe (logic = want to stay in EU as a bit nervous about travelling with a little baby in case he's ill etc and don't want a long journey).

As it's a honeymoon we'd like somewhere classy and romantic - hate resorts.

My ideal would be something like a gite in Southern France - where we could be self-catering and have some space outside. Lots of little villages to visit nearby, ideally a nice coast for walking. We love walking and landscapes more than shopping - food is good. However we always go to France and it might not be warm enough so we're thinking Italy - possibly Puglia - but I don't know it at all. Or Southern Spain.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

i adore austria esp.tirol area.westendorf is great or kitzbuhel.spring time is lovely very picturesque but not sure if april will be warm enough borders winter/spring.it can be either way that time of year.very friendly and lots to do.

The Italian lakes start to warm up around Easter time. Lovely scenery, romantic and mountain walks nearby.
