Wedding Blog
This boot, that is.
Mr. Bruschetta and I have known for some time that we want to honeymoon in Italy — in fact, we selected our wedding date to ensure it would be the optimal time — shoulder season — to visit our desired destination. And, after monitoring airline prices for the past six months, we recently snapped up our plane tickets. We’ll have one day after the wedding to recuperate, and then we’re flying into Rome for our 12 day Italian honeymoon!
While in Rome — how amazing would it be to receive a Papal Blessing, like Weddingbee reader Chela429 and her husband did? — we would like to find a balance between the “tourist” experience and one that allows us to find (and savor) the eateries favored by locals. (Inspired by Mrs. Toucan, I’ve told the mister I plan to seek out a new gelateria each day; he countered with his intention to enjoy authentic Italian pizza just as regularly.)
Following our days in Rome, we’re going to devote some time to exploring Tuscany. I love the idea of staying in a rustic villa, and truly learning about wine firsthand.
We’re also intrigued by Cinque Terre — five little villages nestled in a remote area of the Italian Riviera — which Rick Steves (our chosen travel guru) describes as “the traffic-free, lowbrow, underappreciated alternative to the French Riviera.” These small towns will hopefully provide the relaxing experience that’s most often associated with honeymoons.
We have a skeletal itinerary, but there’s still a fair amount of planning to do for our honeymoon. Have you visited Italy? Which cities/regions are your favorite? What recommendations would you pass along to the Bruschettas?

I would say don’t try to do too much! There’s so much to do in Italy, but make sure you give yourself enough time to enjoy each place you visit. Plus you’ll be exhausted after your wedding! Are you sticking to one or two regions or going all over (Rome, Florence, Milan, Venice, etc?). If you’re going to be in Rome for a few days, check out the Roma Pass.
Cinque Terre is amazing! The hike between the five towns is gorgeous and really not all that hard. The views are wonderful and when you’re done you can sit on the beach with an ice cream. You will have the best time.
Never been, but REALLY want to go there some day. Just wanted to comment on the last photo - BEAUTIFUL!
If you’re still looking for places to stay in Tuscany, last summer my family and I stayed in Castellina in Chianti for a few days at this place -
http://www.palazzosquarcialupi.com/english/albergo.htm
We had such a great time and all agreed that we would go back and stay there longer. Definitely better if you have a car though.
While we were in Castellina, we had scheduled ahead of time a wine tasting at the nearby Palazzo di Verrazzano -
It was probably one of the best days of our entire trip! We had a tour of their wine cellars and the whole process, then finished with a tasting lunch …we had so much great wine and a ton of great food - it was the “Wine & Food Experience,” and for $48 Euros/person pretty reasonable considering it lasts 3 hours.
Ahhh I’m so jealous! You’re going to have a fabulous time. PM if you want any more details from our trip, we had a lot of fun 
Yes! You are going to love it. Definately go to Cinque Terre. Definately rent a car and just drive its a great way to see the countryside (really not as scary as it sounds!) I was actually in Rome the night the pope died a few years ago and it was crazy/incredible/amazing/unbelievable, definately something I will never forget. There is also this little chapel called San Miniato al Monte that sits up on a hill just outside Florence and you get an amazing view of the city. If I think of any other tips I’ll let you know, I’m mostly familiar with the Florence area if you are going there ….AND IF YOU ARE on the main bridge (the Ponte Vecchio) couples put locks on the rails to ’secure their love’ (or something), but anyways - it could be really fun/romantic to bring your own lock and add it to the mass!!
@Miss Gloss: I forgot about those locks! That would be super cute to do, Miss B!
Oh and when we were in Florence we really just wanted to get away from the city so we took a train out to a town called Lucca - it’s actually Puccini’s hometown so they were setting up for a festival when we were there. Anyway, it’s a walled city, so quaint and the best part…there were practically no tourists there! Score! We had such a nice day there and they had some great museums that were both reasonable and practically empty.
Ok can you tell how envious I am?!
You will have a wonderful wonderful time. I recommend San Giminano outside Florence for a nice day trip to a medieval walled town. In Rome, there is SO much wonderful stuff to see, but a trip to the Borghese Galleries to see the Bernini sculptures is absolutely worth the effort (must book tickets online in advance). Haven’t been to Cinque Terre but have only heard positive things about it. In Rome, avoid staying near the train station - it seems like it will be “central” but it’s actually sort of like the red light district! Not scary, but not exactly romantic!
if you have time, go to the amalfi coast. it is just WONDERFUL. we stayed in a little in just outside (and way above!) Positano, and rented vespas to get around in. the view are absolutely breathtaking.
If you find yourself in Florence, you have to go to the Boboli Gardens, behind the Pitti Palace. Without exaggeration, it’s the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen. I wanted so badly to go to Cinque Terra while I was in Italy, but I found out that January isn’t the best time to visit there, so I decided to hold off until another trip. I’ve been trying for months to talk myself out of going to Italy for our honeymoon, because I know that the classicist in me would drag my husband all over the place while I rambled on and on about column orders and Constantine. While that sounds like heaven to me, I think that my fiance would disagree. I can’t wait to live vicariously through you via honeymoon recaps!
You should look in to seeing some Vespers. I don’t remember the name of the church where I saw them, but it was really beautiful and moving.
I’m so jealous; you’re going to have a wonderful time.
Since you already know about Rick Steves, I’ll just add that my husband and I did a fourth anniversary trip last year. Here are our posts on the places you’re going:

I’ve never been to Italy but I bet it’s a ton of fun! The pictures look gorgeous!
if you end up wanting to do a tour for a day in florence, i highly recommend the best of tuscany tour with sandra. it was so much fun!
I went to Cinque Terre a few years back. It is the most romantic and laid back place ever! You MUST go there! I saw a couple on their honeymoon and was so jealous (this was before I even met my fiance). I recommend not only doing the hike, but also getting a kayak and kayaking to the next town and back. The ocean there is so clear and there are all these cool caves to see! That was my favorite part. Plus, there are cute mom and pop restaurants. It’s just totally where you need to go. I would go for 2-3 days. Because after that you may run out of things to do, since it is so small. Have SO much fun.
Here are my suggestions for my favorite citites…
Florence: Hike or take the bus (#13) to the Piazzale Michelangelo. It’s a great place situated on a hill on the south bank of the Arno river. It’s not in many tour books, but it’s the best view of the city! When in Florence, have some gelato as you walk around the markets. 
Also, climbing the 400+ steps to the top of the Duomo is worth it!
Pisa: Climb up to the top of the leaning tower! They say it might not be around for much longer. I went at sunset, and it was an amazing experience! Also, to take a picture of you holding the leaning tower, you have to stand on top of the white posts sticking out of the ground across from the tower. It took me about an hour to figure out how to do it.
Venice: Pay to take a gondola ride! It’s a once in a lifetime experience and you won’t regret it (Plus, you get the best photos). Be sure to ask your driver to sing (like in the movies!)
Rome: Pay to go inside the Colliseum!
Cinque Terre comes highly recommended from anyone I’ve spoken to. So I definitely plan to include it in our European honeymoon. Looking forward to your recaps because we plan to visit the same time, next year!
we just got back from venice last week. we flew to venice, took a cruise to croatia and all around greece then back to venice. I can’t say anything about the rest of Italy but Venice was so much fun. Tons of BEAUTIFUL churches, awesome archidtecture. We got lost all the time but it’s okay because it’s an island, that’s the way we found awesome little restaurants, took beautiful pictures and just explored! We wanted to go all over Italy but just didn’t have enough time, so pretty though!
Oh! Tons. I LOVE Italy and have been a couple of times now.
-For Rome, look up the hostel called The Beehive and stay at the owner’s guest house (not the hostel). They’re American but seem like such a cool couple and can give you great recommendations for Rome.
-For Tuscany, I highly, highly, highly recommend Torraccia di Chiusi. It’s an agriturismo with an amazing restaurant, vineyard. You can walk into San Gimignano from there on an old pilgrimage road through vineyards and drive to all of the local Tuscan towns from there.
-Go to Bologna if you can for the food. It’s unreal.
E-mail me for more info, if you want!
-For Cinqueterre, rent a house on the water in each town. When you arrive in each town, go into a local coffee shop and ask if they know of a place to rent. That’s how we found ours. It was owned by a vintner who sold us bottles of his personally-made wine and gave us a tour of his vineyard.
oh gosh! I’m so jealous… and I was just there last year!
We did Venice, Florence, and Rome and spent “1 day extra” in each place (ie we could have seen Venice in 2 days but spent 3 there). It was really nice because we got to take our time, relax, and enjoy being newlyweds!
I’m jealous, too! I love the South, but since you have only 12 days, it’s probably too far.
About an hour’s train ride north of Rome there’s a tiny little mountain village called Casperia. There are no cars allowed, you can just walk around the medieval walls. It’s beautiful - and there are lots of hiking trails.
Cinque Terre is absolutely AMAZING…they even have this little hiking trail called Via dell’ Amore between Riomaggiore and Manarola. Absolutely beautiful!
Being completely lost in Venice is one of my favorite vacation memories. We abandoned all maps and street signs and found what we found- which were stores and restaurants that were way better than any guidebook. I’d second the gondola ride- its a touristy thing to do, but the city more gorgeous from the water.
We just got back from our honeymoon, part of which was spent in Lake Como, a little over an hour outside of Milan. We stayed in Bellagio. It was amazing! I loved relaxing by the lake with the temps in the mid-80s while looking at the snow capped mountains in the distance. I already want to go back!
It would be Italy that would finally pull be out of my perpetual lurkdom! I can’t resist passing on food recommendations. . .
-Since you can’t leave Rome without tossing a coin in Trevi, look up Gelateria San Crispino right nearby. In Florence (or Bologna or Parma or a bunch of other cities in the north) look up Grom. You cannot beat Grom for flavor! Anyone not going to Italy but located in the NYC area, there are two in Manhatten.
-Go to Siena, please, please. It’s my very favorite Italian city — that almost no one goes to on a normal itinerary. There’s a slow food restaurant just off of the main piazza del Campo called Il Carroccio. Ummm, awesome. Their menu changes with the seasons and can’t be beat for traditional Tuscan food.
-If you’re up for really going off the beaten trail and want an authentic lunch experience go to Bar del Orso, near Monteriggioni in Tuscany.
-Lastly, I cannot recommend La Tenuta di Spannocchia as a place to stay highly enough. They’re located centrally in Tuscany, perfect for day trips to the major cities, vineyards, etc. I’m biased as I spent three months there as an intern, but it’s a truly incredible organic farm/vineyard/b&b in central Tuscany outside of Siena. They were actually featured in Bon Appetit last year!
I could go on, and on, and on. . .but, for the sake of space, won’t. I’m happy to though, if anyone is interested!!
We just went to Italy in September. We flew into Rome and stayed at a hotel called Quattro. Very nice and quaint. Doesn’t take long to go through the Coluessium with the tour guide. You don’t want to miss St. Peter’s or the Sistine Chapel. We downloaded audio tours on our ipods and got a lot of great information for free! Also, we took the train down to Naples and went to Pompeii. Very interesting and a nice day trip. We then took the train up to Pisa. This was one of my favorites to see! We got stuck there for the night due to a train strike but it allowed us to go out on the town and mingle with the locals. The next we took the train along the coast and the 5 fishing villages looked amazing. We plan to go back there and stay. So do this for sure! We took the train up to Milan. We had a nice dinner there and went to see the Dumono. Breathtaking at sunset! We were suppose to go from there to Venice. But hurricane Ike was hitting the Texas Coast that day and we have houses there and wanted to get home to asses the damage. We plan to go back and see Venice and the 5 fishing villages. We did all of this in 7 days! We still had some time to relax and eat lots of pizza and ice-cream… yumm!!
@Lexatron: I second the Bobboli Gardens! I lived directly across from the Piti Palace - it’s a great place to people watch and get some ‘culture’.
Oh and watch where you are going in Venice, they don’t have ropes/chains/signs where the road ends and the water starts. And if you are talking/walking and not paying attention you could totally fall in ….. it *Almost* happened to me - and those walls are high, I have no idea how I would’ve gotten out!
I lived in Italy for a summer during college and the places you are talking about are wonderful! I visited the Cinque Terre which was absolutely amazing, relaxing and beautiful. Florence (Firenze) was probably my favorite of the major cities and Rome/Vatican City were both very interesting for all of the history and art. I also traveled to Venice which is unlike any other city I’ve ever visited. If you get the chance to go there, I would spend a day or two, it’s pretty amazing. Sounds like you’re going to have a wonderful honeymoon!
Oh yes, one last thing. When you take the trains it can be very confusing! For example you have to know the train car number you are suppose to be in because they stop and unattach and go different directions. You don’t want to end up in the wrong place. Look for the train car number on a piece of paper taped to the inside window. We thought it was the number painted on the side of the train car. WRONG! We just got lucky we ended up in the right place. Also, they list the train stops by the name of the train station not the name of the city. So when you are looking for the right train gate to go to, it is confusing because you can’t find the city name! Just ask someone. Everyone is very nice and helpful and in Rome they speak fairly good English!
don’t spend too much time in Rome. It’s busy, fast paced, full of pit-pockers, and dirty. In 4 - 5 days you can pretty much see all the major sights and even some of the less major sites.
Rome does have its nice sides - all the history is amazing. And gelato shops full of 100 different flavors are delicious. But I had a hard time finding good authentic restaurants. And the people there aren’t too happy when you don’t speak their language well. And it is difficult to try to figure out what you are ordering in most of the restaurants.
I’ve always wanted to go to Cinque Terre. I’ve heard they are so beautiful. But Rick Steve’s wrote about them and made a video about them over 5 years ago, and since then they have become much more popular I’ve heard. So they might not be the quiet destination you hope for anymore either.
I’ve had a lot of friends who have studied in Florence and visited there. It is the must-see town in Italy I’ve heard. I’ve had a lot of people tell me it is better than Rome. So I would definitely go there if I were you!
We are going to Cinque Terre and I’ve heard amaaaaazing things. Yay so excited!
Definitely go to the Cinque Terre. If you enjoy hiking, you can walk all 5 towns. If you don’t, then the train will take care of you. Plus, there’s a dessert wine (I think it starts with S and has like 12 letters in it) that’s made with a grape only found in the Cinque Terre. Gorgeous.
I spent about a week in Florence with side trips through the surrounding area. We were lucky and rented a flat for the week to cook most of our meals. Definitely go to the Mercato Centrale for fresh pasta, fresh and dried fruit, and the Nerbone tripe sandwiches! The rest of the time, I lived off gelato and ciccolata calda: Vivoli and Festival de Gelato are good places for gelato.
Siena is beautiful and also walker friendly. At least, it was for us…people there are super nice. We ended up lost in front of a restaurant where no one spoke English. I had the best pasta of my life there and our mixed language conversation got us back on the road safely.
If you’re in the Florence area and have some shopping time on your hands, go to the Prada outlet store!! I bought way too much stuff, at 60-90% off!
I did like Rome as well, but not as much as Florence. I’ve also been to the beach town of Rivini near San Marino…it’ll probably be rammed with tourists, but the water and sand are great.
my best friend and i spent 13 days a few summers ago in italy and started in cinque terre… it’s amazing! We spent 2 nights there. Make sure you actually hike through all 5 villages, and if memory serves there are a few small vineyards there too which are nice.
Then we took the train to florence and spent 3 nights in florence. While in Florence you need to go to the Uffizi (art museum), the Boboli gardens, and visit the Duomo (try to climb it too). Also make sure you hit up the markets, the ponte vecchio, the numerous plazzas especailly the Michelangelo which gives you a great view of the city. There is an amazing restaurant in Florence called Acqua al 2… this is fabulous. Near the Duomo I think.
address: Via della Vigna Vecchia 40r, Florence
http://www.acquaal2.it/2008/index.html
Then we did 2 nights & 3 days in Rome. The parts of Rome I liked the best were eating at restaurants by the beautiful fountains and people watching on the Spanish Steps. If you are going to go to the Colosseum make sure you get the audio tour, it is very much worth it!
Then we ended our trip with 3 nights in Capri! Which was AMAZING! especially if you are on your honeymoon… go to CAPRI!!! We took the ferry from Naples and Capri is unbelievably beautiful!!! You need to make sure you grab a ride in one of the convertible taxis, visit the unbelievable beaches, stop in Anacapri (there is a chairlift called the Monte Solaro which you can ride to get a great view of the city and a really cute town area that you should walk around), and then there is the Blue Grotto. Almost at all the docks you can either get on a boat with a group of people or just the two of you, and the driver will take you all around the island. It’s stunning!
Have an amazing trip!
You HAVE to do the Papal blessing if you have time… and take your wedding dress to wear!!! You get rock star seats very close to the Pope and it’s so cool to be surrounded by other newlyweds from around the world. I wore a simple white skirt and top and was one of 2 brides not in my full gown. I was sooo sad. I wanted to wear my dress again. Yes, it would’ve been a pain to lug the dress to Italy, but also so worth it! Get tickets at the American church in Rome the night before (email them … http://www.santasusanna.org/popeVatican/tickets.html) Make sure to ask for the Sposi Novelli (newlywed) tickets!
Email me with any other questions!!!! (Oh and bring snacks and get there early! It’s a lot of waiting but an amazing experience.)
@ all: Um, wow. Thank you SO much for the helpful comments. Can’t wait to share these with the mister…and we’ll definitely be following up for more deets and info!
Miss Bruschetta! I am SO glad you are choosing to go to the Cinque Terra! I lived in Germany for a year, and made a few trips down to Italy. Of all the places I visited, the Cinque Terra was by FAR my favorite. It’s the most gorgeous place I’ve ever been, and the perfect choice for a honeymoon.
LOVED Cinque Terre. I would suggest finding an apartment rental as opposed to a hotel. I thought it added to the experience. Florence was better for us than Rome. If you do go to Florence, go to Grom for the best gelato ever. We went twice a day! We went to Siena, but weren’t that impressed, though the food was indeed good. Loved Pompeii. But like I said, I never wanted to leave Cinque Terre.
@thefuturemrsjewell: I ate gnocchi al fungi at Acqua al 2 that made me cry.
I almost forgot! There’s a fantastic little bar in Rome called Il Pane e Le Rose - it’s less than a mile from Vatican City. They often have live music, and it has an incredible atmosphere. It’s in a basement and very cavernous. A REALLY nice family owns it - the Lucci’s. After my second night going there, I was getting hugs from the mother. They also have a killer beer selection and make a mean cocktail. Their food LOOKS great, but I wouldn’t know for sure because I was too busy enjoying my liquid dinners to try anything.
I’m IN Florence! I’ve lived here for about nine months now and I’m actually about to go back to the US. I just skimmed the comments above and Grom and Acqua al 2 in Florence are very good! And Cinque Terre is beautiful. And so is Tuscany - if you want to learn about wine you should definitely visit Chianti country! I also really liked Volterra, San Gimignano, and Montalcino. You can’t go wrong!
I’m going to cut myself off because I could go on and on… but you’re going to have a great time.
OMG. Jealous. We’re hoping to take a trip to Europe in 5 years for our real honeymoon. Can’t afford it right now. 
You better recap this trip!
WOW I am so jealous. I love Italy, you have so many wonderful recommendations but will second go to CAPRI- seriously it is heaven on earth scented lemon trees and surronded by turquoise water. Its is something out of a dream. Also the small villages of ASSI and LUCCA are paradise like too. Have a wonderful time. I can’t imagine how you could not!
Hi! Wow. You must be so excited. I’m honeymooning in Tuscany in late July. Can’t wait! Oh yeah, and am excited about the wedding too….;). Hurrah for European honeymoons.
As for accommodation, have you looked at http://www.specialplacestostay.com? I usually start here for European accommodation research. We are staying here: http://www.poderesalicotto.com/. The owners could not be nicer or more enthusuastic!
We have pretty much planned everything now, so PM me if you want any more details, ideas etc. We are BIG foodies, in fact eating and exercising (cycling & hiking) will take up the majority of our honeymoon!
Oh, and check out the British press’ online travel sections for lots more Italy & Europe inspiration (including for recession budgets!):

My fiance and I got engaged at an amazing working farm / b&b outside of Siena - Trattoria Spannocchia. They work to preserve the ancient farming lifestyle of Tuscany, and serve the most amazing food, olive oil, and cured meats - all grown and made on the premises! It was the most amazing place, especially if you’re into calm, no-frills, amazingly beautiful, warm, and friendly places to stay! Great hikes, solitude, and a nice little pool. The yellow Italian marble in the bathroom was to die for, as well.
If you go to cinque terre, take the train to the last stop and hike your way back through the 5 towns. Do the biggest mountain first while you still have energy . The beach there is so gorgeous. Its so romantic. There’s even a part of the trail thats called lover’s trail.
If you go to florence go to il latini kind of by the train station, the oil shoppe for the best sandwiches in the world by the duomo(seriously i would do anything to have one of those again, its a local favorite), Acqua al 2 for blueberry steaks.
With out a doubt, go to Cinque Terre. Rick Steves has some great recommendations for “grandma’s spare bedroom” type accomodations. I stayed at once place that has a rooftop garden overlooking the harbor and Vernazza. Definitely do the hike between the five towns.
Well, you have tons of great suggestions. I just wanted to chime in I’m getting married right after you and we are taking a 12 day Italian honeymoon down the boot from Rome to Sicily, which I don’t know if you’ve look at but it is breath taking. The Aeolian Islands are a real gem as is Taormina at the foot of Mount Etna where we are spending the majority of our time.
A random aside are you flying direct out of Philly? We are and the lack of flight options for direct drove me crazy. We fly out Sept. 7. Keep us updated on your planning. I’d love to hear where you are planning on staying in Rome. We are trying to stay more budget there because of our major splurge in Taormina the Villa Carlotta…. Sometimes I think I am more excited for the HM!
You’re absolutely on the right page! Different gelato stores every day is a must - their flavors really do vary from shop to shop, and you’ll develop favorites. Cinque Terre is one of my favorite places in the world - you can spend half a day hiking to each of the 5 towns to see what each one has to offer. I would suggest that if you’re not staying in either the first or last town in the group, take the train to one end (really cheap, like a buck or two per ticket), then hike to the other end and train back to the town you’re staying in. You’ll be amazed at how remote they are and really have not been touched by technology. Enjoy!!! I’m so jealous!!
You’ll love it there! Since I actually live in Germany I have been to Tuscany a couple of times and have friends there too
Definitely go to Cinque terre and don’t miss Lucca. If you are interested go to Carrara and visit the marble quarries. Very impressive, it is actually where Michelangelo got his marble from
We got engaged in the Cinque Terre- actually overlooking that first photo view that you showed!! The photo is actually taken from a nature hike that you can take through the 5 towns. We’d both been to Italy before, but I’d never been there and it was FI fave place. It’s beautiful and very low key and relaxing. Plus I think one of the greatest things is that we can take our kids back there someday and show them exactly where daddy proposed to mommy!! YOU WILL LOVE IT!!
You will love it there! Do the wine tasting tour when you are in Florence!!
Mmmm.. Gelato!
Let me know if you want more photos from Italy. I have a ton to get you further inspired! Also, head down to Positano and the Amalfi coast! You can definitely do Rome in 2 days. Seriously. Don’t forget your hiking shoes! Even though you and Mr. will want to look fashionable, hiking shoes are pretty important if you plan on hiking Cinque Terre! Do you have any of your accommodations set? If you want, i have some good ones to recommend if you so wish!
We’re planning on going to Italy in Sept 2010 for our honeymoon too. Thanks so much for the post and all the tons of ideas! Definitely post, when you make your final plans!
I know I’m late in posting, but I had to weigh in! I’m currently studying abroad in Verona and you should definetly consider stopping by for a day! Obvi, there’s Romeo and Juliet courtyard, but the city is beautiful and only about an hour from Venice and Milan. There is also a lamp post that also has a bunch of locks on it Enjoy!
We’re doing Italy too (and Croatia)! We had planned out our honeymoon destination years ago for ‘if’ we ever got married, so it was a big part of his proposal. And like you, we planned our wedding date for optimal time to go!
You NEED to go to the Cinque Terra. It’s sooooo romantic.
I was in Italy many times and love Umbria very much, an enchanting land on the border with Tuscany. I am so happy in this land that I’m planning to live permanently
