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...

Genoa has lots of little side streets as well.

Colmar in Alsace is gorgeous, even has its own Little Venice...

Tinker doncha hate places that purport to be mirror images of others though? Pet hate in our family. You know the sort of thing
'the Nice of the English riviera'
'St Petersburg,the Venice of the North.'

Christ have just been to Caribbean and what do I stumble across? 'St Pierre,the little Switzerland of Martinique'!!

Barking I tell yer!

TheDaVinciCod · 12/06/2007 23:36

Nooooo

Barking just general dismissive comment.

Was in Martinique with sister and family who live there.

Very nice indeed apart from annoying little Switzerland crap.

CountessDracula · 12/06/2007 23:39

had vaguely thought of lisbon but felt it may come under spanish ban...
