Best places to stay in Tuscany for couples
Lucca is one of the most enchanting places in Tuscany for a couple’s holiday. Its perfectly preserved Renaissance walls create a gentle, quiet loop ideal for long walks or leisurely bike rides hand in hand. Inside the historic centre, elegant cafés, artisan boutiques and intimate trattorias offer moments of tranquillity far from the rush of larger cities. Staying in Lucca means waking up among medieval towers, strolling through piazzas that glow at sunset and experiencing a refined, slow-paced atmosphere that naturally lends itself to romance.
Montecarlo is a graceful hilltop village known for its excellent wines and peaceful rural charm, making it an exceptional destination for couples seeking a countryside holiday. Vineyards stretch across gentle slopes, offering opportunities for intimate wine tastings, picnics among the rows and soft evening walks with panoramic views. Villas in this area often include private gardens, terraces overlooking the valley and exclusive access to local wineries, allowing couples to enjoy a deep sense of tranquillity while still staying close to Lucca and the surrounding attractions.
For couples who enjoy a varied holiday combining sea breezes, countryside scenery and cultural excursions, the Camaiore and Versilia area offers an ideal balance. The coastline provides long walks by the water, elegant beach clubs and lively evening promenades, while the hills just above Camaiore offer secluded trails, ancient hamlets and sweeping views of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Villas and apartments in this region allow couples to divide their days between the coast and the hills, creating a holiday rich in contrasts yet harmoniously connected by the region’s natural beauty.

How to get to Tuscany?
- Tuscany is served by two main international airports: Florence Airport (FLR) and Pisa Airport (PSA).Florence is ideal for those planning to stay in the central and eastern part of Tuscany, while Pisa offers excellent connections to coastal and northern areas such as Lucca, Versilia and the Tuscan coast.
- Italy’s high-speed and regional train network makes travelling to Tuscany comfortable and efficient. Florence Santa Maria Novella is the region’s primary railway hub, with direct high-speed services from Rome, Milan, Venice and Bologna. Regional trains provide access to cities such as Lucca, Pisa, Siena and Arezzo, allowing travellers to reach smaller towns with ease.
- Driving to Tuscany offers the freedom to explore hilltop villages, countryside roads and areas not directly served by public transport. The region is connected by major motorways such as the A1 (from Milan or Rome), the A11 (to Lucca and Montecatini) and the A12 (along the Tuscan coast). Renting a car is particularly useful for travellers heading to rural areas, vineyards or villas in the countryside.
The best experiences and activities for couple in Tuscany
Wine Tasting in the Tuscan Hills
A wine-tasting holiday in Tuscany remains one of the most iconic experiences for couples. Whether in the Chianti hills, Montecarlo near Lucca or the vineyards of Montalcino, the combination of exceptional wines and gentle landscapes creates a refined romantic atmosphere. Many estates offer private tastings, cellar visits and sunset aperitifs—an ideal choice for a Sant Valentine trip immersed in authenticity and pleasure.
Thermal Spa Retreats
A spa retreat is one of the most refined ways for a couple to celebrate a romantic holiday in Tuscany. Historic thermal towns such as Bagni di Lucca, Bagno Vignoni and Montecatini Terme offer elegant spa settings where warm thermal waters, private treatments and quiet relaxation rooms create an atmosphere perfectly suited for Sant Valentine. It is an intimate experience that allows couples to unwind, reconnect and enjoy Tuscany at a slower rhythm.
Sunset Walks on Tuscan City Walls
Few experiences feel as timeless as a sunset walk on the Renaissance walls of Lucca. The elevated tree-lined path offers serenity, soft light and views over historic rooftops—perfect for a romantic holiday moment. It is an elegant yet simple activity that suits any Sant Valentine trip, allowing couples to slow down and enjoy Tuscany’s charm without haste.
Private Cooking Class
Sharing a private cooking class offers couples an intimate and enjoyable way to connect with Tuscan culture. Guided by local chefs, couples prepare regional dishes using fresh ingredients, often in traditional countryside kitchens or refined villas. It is a warm, romantic experience—perfect for Sant Valentine and ideal for enriching a holiday with authentic flavours and shared memories.
Scenic Driving Routes
Exploring Tuscany by car allows couples to enjoy a holiday shaped by spontaneity and discovery. Routes through the Val d’Orcia, the Crete Senesi, or the countryside between Lucca and Montecarlo offer sweeping landscapes, medieval villages and quiet corners perfect for romantic stops. These drives create an atmosphere of shared adventure, ideal for a couple seeking meaningful moments during a Sant Valentine retreat.
A typical Tuscan romantic dinner for a couple
A romantic dinner in Tuscany is one of the most meaningful moments a couple can enjoy during a holiday or a special Valentine evening. Tradition plays a central role, and the elegance comes from genuine flavours and a warm, intimate atmosphere.
The evening often begins with a selection of Tuscan cold cuts and aged cheeses served with warm bread and new extra-virgin olive oil. It is a gentle, convivial way to start a Valentine dinner, allowing the couple to settle into a relaxed rhythm.
For the first course, pappardelle with wild boar ragù or handmade pasta with porcini mushrooms brings depth and fragrance to the table—rich, comforting dishes that feel particularly suited to a romantic holiday experience.
As a main course, couples often share a bistecca alla fiorentina or a tender tagliata of beef with pecorino and rocket. Sharing a dish creates a sense of harmony and makes the dinner feel even more intimate. In coastal areas, a refined plate of freshly caught fish offers an elegant alternative.
To end the evening, cantucci with Vin Santo or a delicate ricotta dessert with local honey adds a soft, sweet note—the perfect way to conclude a Valentine romantic dinner. Paired with a Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino or a refined Tuscan rosé, the entire experience becomes an unforgettable highlight of any couple’s holiday.
