A 2007 honeymoon trend survey of 6,000 travel agents found that Italy was the top honeymoon destination. We could have told them that. Select Italy has been at the forefront of travel to Italy’s most evocative and romantic locations for ten years and now we have a special service just for honeymooners to plan the perfect trip.

Leading the new Honeymoons division of Select Italy is Maria Meyer, veteran planner of romantic and unique trips throughout the Italian peninsula and its accompanying islands. Her background in Italian museums and musical events is complemented by her extensive travel to Italy over the last 10 years for site inspections, vendor selection and service appraisal.

Select Italy offers two distinct ways to experience the best of Italy’s famous romance and culture – customized itineraries or carefully pre-designed 3- to 4-night packages. Whether traveling on a budget or luxuriously, Select Italy’s years of experience in the Italian travel market and relationships with the most reputable Italian hotels and suppliers ensure the trip of a lifetime.

Customized Italian honeymoons are built to the specifications of the traveling couple and can include a wide variety and number of exclusive services – charming first-class hotels, reliable private transportation and train tickets, guided tours, opera and concert tickets and culinary adventures. Select Italy can put together a trip for newlyweds for as little as $500/day (price varies, of course, on the couple’s wishes).

Pre-designed honeymoon packages include the most popular Italian destinations – Rome, Venice, the Amalfi Coast and more. Each 3- and 4-day honeymoon package features specially selected activities and tours highlighting the best each city has to offer.

Most of Select Italy’s pre-designed honeymoon packages offer a choice of either 3-star or 5-star accommodations. For the 2007-2008 travel season, honeymoon packages start at a cost of $1328.00 (USD) for a 4-night package with 3-star accommodations in Rome. Both customized and pre-designed honeymoon travel products can be purchased at Select Italy's website: http://selectitaly.com/weddings.php.

According to Select Italy president, Andrea Sertoli, “Italy is the finest destination in the world for a romantic honeymoon. No country in the world can compare with Italy’s beautiful landscapes, remarkable history, delectable cuisine and local friendliness. No matter where you choose to stay in Italy, whether you prefer an itinerary full of activities or one with plenty of time for doing very little at all, Italy offers an infinite number of romantic opportunities.”
