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...

We stayed in this hotel in Venice last year. www.secretplaces.com/sp/1/hotels/Novecento.asp . It had a similar feel to the hotel in Florence, although even more friendly. It was my 44th birthday this time (and DD's 3rd). They were lovely to her, too, of course, being Italian.

Why did he veto Marrakech for God's sake?
It's fucking brilliant.

Sardinia? Friend just back and raved about it.

Corsica?

Direct flights to Calvi apparently now available...The Relais La Signoria looks lush and Calvi is a supremely romantic resort

OldieMum · 12/06/2007 23:16

Tip - go to Venice and Florence between November and January. Hardly any crowds. In fact, I have been to Italy in winter more than in the summer, so have a wierd view of it as a cold country where the winter sun makes everything glitter.

TheDaVinciCod · 12/06/2007 23:17

not much to do in calvi though

TheDaVinciCod · 12/06/2007 23:17

I have never been so ill in my life as was in Boston. Dodgy chowder. Threw up at site of Boston tea party, very loudly all over pavement.
Stomach goes into involuntary spasms when word now uttered.

As you were.

Boston is pretty, though, in the centre. I lived in Cambridge for a year and used to like wandering round Beacon Hill.
