Recommendations for perfect weekend break, euro city or uk, romantic small hotel, good food essential...

[CountessDracula]

dh and I want to go somewhere really lovely for a weekend for our wedding anniversary this year (end sept). We have rather neglected our anniversary for a few years since dd has been around, we have had a bit of a tough time recently which we have come through and have really sorted out and we are madly in lurve . We would really love to go somewhere relaxing and beautiful and stay somewhere small and intimate and fab. Nothing too designery really, maybe with nice antiques and big snuggly bed and a balcony with a view...

All suggestions welcomed...

dh has vetoed barcelona on account of its spanishness

I would quite fancy it really

ST PETERSBURG?? - SHOUTS TO CD!

have you ruled out Austria? bet the Alps are gorgeous at this time of year

More fool him its LOVELY

how about Nice

or the Monte Carlo or the Negresco?

palace hotel madrid

Went for a dirty weekend years ago, was good.

I forgot no spanishness (is it so different to Italy???)

the food is

why cnat your dh choose cd

food at the ARTS is Fab and in Barcelona is a lot of seafood down at the harbour - isn;t one fish much like another

he doesn't like tapas?

he can
we want to choose something together though so was trying to draw up shortlist!

Montpelier is mentioned often by colleagues of mine, romantic, cultural, a city but not a huge one, warm, easy to get to by new flights....

he jsut pulls a face when I say barcelona or madrid

Seville, oddly, he doesn't

Can someone suggest a nice place to stay in Paris. I have been there three times and hated every minute but DH wants to go and I am willing to try it again just for him BUT it has got to be a nice hotel with good food and nice people and with all the sights within walking distance if possible.

Granada elicit the same response?

I loved Montpellier but as I bunked down in a hall of residence many years ago I can't recommend anywhere

OK QUICK UPDATE

NO SPAIN
NO COUNTRY HOTELS
NO MODERN HOTELS
NOTHING TOO DESIGNERY
NO S OF FRANCE WE GO THERE A LOT
NO AMSTERDAM, NAPLES, NY, BOSTON (NO USA IN FACT), NO MOROCCO

MUST HAVE BALCONY WITH VIEW
MUST HAVE VIBE
MUST HAVE FAB AND BIG BEDROOMS
MUST BE IN A CITY OR TOWN WITH GOOD FOOD

Seville is not as interesting as Barcelona but its nice and there is a hotel called the Alphonso something which is supposed to be good.
