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...

Go on overnight train to Italy but in posh compartment and have dinner on train...

OldieMum · 12/06/2007 23:22

NO NO NO, not Berlin. Went there in April to visit step-daughter. Haunted by it's terrible history, Germans busy fulfilling all national stereotypes etc etc. Not the place for a romantic break AT ALL.

St Petersburg

Expensive and Russians surly but can't be beaten for atmosphere and architecture.
