Fall in Love with Veneto, Italy’s Most Romantic Holiday Destination

Besides being world renowned for its art, culture, music and food, Veneto is also known as the most romantic of all of Italy’s holiday destinations. Lovers from all over the world book holiday rentals in the floating city of Venice in order to take leisurely gondola rides down the placid canals, appreciate heart-rending operas about love and betrayal at one of the cities many historic theatres, or don a traditional Venetian mask at the Carnival of Venice. But Veneto is more than just Venice. In the north, the Dolomite Mountains attract avid skiers and snowboarders who rent holiday chalets on the snowy slopes, and in the summer, hikers and campers flock to the pristine lakes and forests that blanket the area. The charming city of Verona is the home of Romeo and Juliet, and the Basilica of San Zeno Maggiore here is a must-see sight for its gorgeous bas-reliefs, coloured glass, bronze doors and striking white stone façade. And serious gastronomes will lust after the fabulous food of Veneto. Salty prosciutto, creamy risotto, and sharp Asiago cheese, can all washed down with a glass of velvety Amarone or bubbly Prosecco. It’s easy to be in love and fall in love with romantic Veneto.
