The World's Most Romantic Places to Propose
Overlooking the lagoon in Venice
The Romance: The city of narrow cobblestoned streets, graceful palazzi, sleek gondolas and, of course, Casanova is a time-honored setting for amore. And the Venetian island of Giudecca has always had extra-special appeal for lovers, given its panoramic vistas of the lagoon, including the Doge’ s Palace and Piazza San Marco. For the ultimate Giudeccan excursion, book a room in the lagoon-front 15th-century Palazzo Vendramin—the section of the posh Hotel Cipriani with the best water views.
The Price Tag: Those classic views come at a cost; a lagoon-view junior suite in the Vendramin starts at $2750. For a less expensive option, check into the centrally-located Novecento Boutique Hotel, where doubles can be had for little more than $300.
