All the aesthetic things to do in italy

First time in Italy? Don't worry, I got you.

Below you'll find a comprehensive list of all of the experiences, stays, and recommendations I have from our stay in Italy last year when we went to see our wedding venue for the first time (and feel free to watch our vlog to see any of our experiences from our POV just below).

Of course if you’re heading to Italy, you’ll probably spend some time in Rome. And when in Rome..

Rome

Recommended Stay: Frattina Elegance Suite

Such a pretty place to stay at and best of all, it is walking distance from the Trevi fountain (so you can live out your Lizzie McGuire dreams) and is located right in the middle of a bunch of shops and cute restaurants.

FLORENCE

Recommended Stay: Botticelli's Loft

Located in the heart of Florence and walking distance from a lot of cafes and restaurants.

While you're there you can book a pasta making class, shop fine leather goods, or explore cute book stores. Highly recommend getting advance reservations for the Statue of David at the Academia Gallery (get the 'Skip the Line' tickets) and don’t forget to stop by the cutest bookshop across the street.

And of course, can’t forget reserving a table at Osteria Pastella for life-changing cheese wheel pasta.

TUSCANY

or more specifically, Montepulciano

Recommended stay: Apartment in the Vineyard with Pool

There's a really great Tuscan breakfast available at the stay, a gym, a pool, and the most amazing Italian countryside views.

While staying here, I would recommend traveling to Montepulciano for the cutest little authentic town. It has the best architecture and such amazing food.

And of course, if you want to see any videos of our stay and the above experiences, you can check out our most recent vlog from our last trip here.

Hope you enjoy your stay in Italy and il dolce far niente.
