Mediterranean views, private 16th century villas and countryside estates.
It’s hard to choose a more beautiful destination for your honeymoon than Italy. And the country offers such a variety of stays to suit every personality—are you dreaming about water views, designer digs, lush vineyards (or maybe all of the above?). Look no further, here are 10 of our top choices for the most beautiful, romantic and luxurious Airbnb getaways to get you started.
AMALFI COAST
The Cliffside Villa
It’s an Airbnb you have to see to believe. L’Incanto della Costiera is wedged up in the cliffs along the Amalfi Coast, just around the corner from Amalfi proper. The views are obviously breathtaking, but you’ll also be charmed by the heritage architecture features carved out of the rock—and the open terraces under flowers and grape vines.

LAKE COMO
The Boat & Breakfast
It doesn’t get more waterfront than this! This unique B&B is moored in the exclusive Lake Como marina, right within walking distance of a pool and restaurants. The host even hand-picks a special buffet breakfast for guests.

FLORENCE
Luxe Tuscan Dream Stay
The ultra-luxe Villa Lone is set amongst rolling hills of vineyards and olive trees in the Tuscan countryside, and yet it’s still in close proximity to downtown Florence. You could take your whole wedding party or do a joint honeymoon with friends (it sleeps up to 10 between a main house and two guesthouses) and marries old world and new. Historic buildings are the backdrop, but you still get an infinity pool (with unreal views), a barbecue grill, pizza oven, chef’s kitchen inside, alfresco dining and a fireplace.

MILAN
High Style in the City
This fashion-forward Italian city is all about the designer flat. The Bosco Verticale apartment building is dripping with vertical gardens, trees and dangling ivy—it’s like a vertical forest. And inside this one-bedroom Airbnb (plus patio) everything is ultra-modern, well-designed and inviting.

POSITANO
You Live Outside Now
The sunkissed front terrace (that looks out over the sea) at Sontuosa Villa is larger than a two-bedroom apartment and is outfitted with seating for morning cups of tea or grand dinner parties with your new honeymoon friends under the sunset.
