Whether you’re embarking on your honeymoon, an anniversary trip, or a romantic getaway just because, there are few destinations more romantic than Venice, Italy. Cobblestone streets, majestic bridges, gothic architecture, and endless canals create a dreamy atmosphere that feels like stepping into a storybook. It’s the perfect recipe for a spark of romance and whimsy.
There are also countless things to do together on your trip to the Floating City. Take a private gondola ride through the winding waterways, discover the artistry and history at Saint Mark’s Basilica, taste-test local delicacies at the Rialto Market, explore the outer islands (such as Burano and Murano), and wander along the Grand Canal at sunset.
Between adventuring through the city alleyways and waterside restaurants serving candle-lit dinners for two, you’ll find picturesque, luxury accommodations to amplify the intimacy and comfort of your visit. To help, we researched and narrowed down the most romantic Airbnbs in Venice. We made our final selection based on amenities, location, design, and guest reviews.
