Hi Marina,
I can’t put into words how much I enjoyed our honeymoon in Italy. My husband had been to Italy for work in the past and really wanted to try something different.
When he mentioned southern Italy, I was skeptical, because it isn’t as popularized as other parts of the country.
Boy was I wrong! I think southern Italy was made for couples. Everything, from the food, hotel, service, and tours was so magical. I want to grow old and retire with my husband in the countryside.
An extra thank you to Jeanne for making our trip top-notch. She really outdid herself, and went above and beyond with all our requests.
