12 Day Romantic Italian Getaway: Venice-Florence/Tuscany-Positano/Amalfi Coast

12 Day Romantic Italian Getaway: Venice-Florence/Tuscany-Positano/Amalfi Coast

Jamieson Kennedy
This was the blueprint for our Honeymoon, but this trip can be used for any couple looking for a romantic getaway to Italy. We begin in Venice before traveling to Florence, 3 Tuscany Cities and Wineries, and ending this dream getaway in Positano on the picturesque Amalfi Coast. Each day has been thoughtfully planned to give you the ultimate vacation. Pro Tip: We travelled June/July, but you can opt for May/June or September/October for lower prices and less crowds while still enjoying nice weather. They will also harvest the grapes and olives around October. If traveling off-season, please note some recommendations may be closed for the season. What's Included in this Guide? *Day-by-Day itinerary with what to do, where to stay, and what to eat for 12 days (2 in Venice, 5 in Florence/Tuscany, and 5 in Positano/Amalfi Coast) *Day trips to 3 Tuscan Wineries and Cities *Day Trip to Pompei on the way to Positano *Boat Trip to Capri and various Grottos *Various museum and tour recommendations *Guidance on the Hand of God Hike on the Amalfi Coast *An Italian Dream vacation come to life Disclaimer: My wife cried on the way to our first Winery as we drove through Tuscany. She had not had one sip of wine yet. Tissues are not required, but may be recommended.

Critical Planning Tip

It is imperative you book all hotels, meals, tours, and any tickets well ahead of time. All reservations were made 2-3 months in advance of our trip. I cannot stress this enough, especially if going at a peak season (June - August). Failure to do so will likely result in long lines, wasted days, and limited places to eat dinner.

Day 1 - Arrive in Venice

I recommend taking a Red Eye flight whenever possible for a trip to Europe. We flew out of JFK in NYC and landed the following morning in Venice.  When done correctly, you can sleep on the flight and start your first day in the morning with minimal adjustment needed for the timezone differences.

Once you arrive in Marco Polo Airport in Venice you will walk down to the water to get to your hotel.

Travel to the Hotel

There are two ways to get to your hotel. This first is what we did and what I recommend to kick off a romantic trip to Venice.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Jamieson Kennedy
I am not a social media travel "influencer". I grew up deprived of traveling so my wife and I have made it a priority to make up for this through investing in experiences. I started planning together trips for us starting back in 2017 and found a passion for putting together the itineraries. I deeply enjoy learning all I can about each place we visit through research and accessing local perspectives when I can. I then thoughtfully plan our trip around the main attractions we want to see, as well as ensuring we eat well. I joined Thatch to share these trips and tips with you so that you too can form incredible memories that last a lifetime.
