Nature perceived as "romantic"

A Booking.com survey conducted on over a thousand Italians traveling as a couple also shows that mountain holidays are perceived as a romantic getaway by 81% of women interviewed and 82% of Gen X travelers, highlighting how the perception of "romance" is linked more to the natural setting and the shared experience than to the individual type of accommodation.

Valentine's Day and romantic getaways

A trip with a partner is the most desired gift among Italians for Valentine's Day, according to a survey of a thousand people commissioned by Vueling: over half of Italian couples travel together two to five times a year , while only 4.2% of those interviewed never travel with their partner. Approximately a third of the sample (31.1%) treats itself to only one romantic holiday in the twelve months, compared to 7.7% of couples who travel more than five times a year. Industry surveys also confirm the centrality of travel as a couple's ritual: for Valentine's Day 2025 , 70% of Italians celebrating choose a romantic dinner , while only 5% opt for a trip with their partner on the actual day—a figure that indicates that romantic getaways to a farmhouse are more often enjoyed on weekends around the date than on the actual day.

Practical part

How to choose a farmhouse for a romantic getaway

1. Check the privacy of the property: ask if the room is isolated or if the property also hosts groups and families during the same period
2. Check the availability of a private spa or hot tub: not all facilities include one in the room, it is often an additional service.
3. Ask if it is possible to organize a romantic dinner: check if it is included, by reservation or managed by an external restaurant
4. Consider the natural context: the view, the distance from vineyards or olive groves and the possibility of walking influence the atmosphere of your stay.
5. Find out about any dedicated packages: some facilities offer packages for anniversaries, marriage proposals or small surprises.
6. Check the child and pet policy: useful if you are looking for a stay reserved only for couples
7. Consider the season: spring and autumn often offer a more suggestive natural context than the more crowded summer months
8. Ask the owner: Have any questions? Before booking, contact the property directly with your request, no obligation, using the "Ask the owner" button on the page.
