How many famous loves have blossomed in the shadow of the Duomo, on the hills of Fiesole or on the terrace of Piazzale Michelangelo?

Countless: Florence is not only a monument to art and culture, but also an extremely suggestive city, perfect for a romantic weekend in any season. There are many places and experiences designed for a couple in love in Florence.

Inaugurate your getaway with a walk or a picnic in the Rose Garden. Located just below Piazzale Michelangelo, this magical place is steeped in sweetness.

It will be for the sweet scents of the over 300 varieties of roses, for the typical descending configuration, for the breathtaking view of the city or for the combination of all these factors, but the Rose Garden is an unmissable stop in romantic Florence.

Thinking about literary loves, let’s remember that in Florence the illustrious Dante was consumed with passion for Beatrice, the inspiring muse of the masterpiece of the Divine Comedy. This is why, during a romantic weekend in Florence, a visit to the Church of Santa Margherita dei Cerchi cannot be missed.

Tradition has it that it was in this little church that the Supreme Poet met for the first time the gaze of Beatrice, daughter of Folco Portinari. Here, there’s the grave of the young woman.

After visiting the church, continue your romantic weekend with a sophisticated aperitif in the historic cafés of Piazza della Repubblica, with a view of the ancient carousel that dances to the sound of fairy-tale melodies.

A romantic getaway in Florence cannot be complete without a trip in the surroundings. In particular, a few kilometers from Florence, stands out on its hill Fiesole, an aristocratic town of Etruscan origins. The ancient village, which arose long before our cradle of the Renaissance, is easily accessible by car, perhaps on a luxurious limousine that is waiting for nothing but a couple in love to leave.

Tickled by a crisp breeze, away from the hustle and bustle of the city and surrounded by elegant buildings, you can enjoy a panoramic view of rare beauty, the perfect conclusion to a romantic weekend in Florence. The gaze opens onto the Florentine skyline, embracing the profiles of the Duomo and Giotto's bell tower, of the most important cathedrals, of Ponte Vecchio up to the sinuous hills all around.

A romantic picture not to be missed, close to the heart of your sweetheart.
