Every Italy honeymoon destination is romantic. But each is romantic in a DIFFERENT WAY. Amalfi is dramatic (cliffs, sea, sunsets that make you cry). Como is elegant (villas, gardens, Clooney's neighborhood). Tuscany is pastoral (cypress roads, wine, golden light). Venice is mysterious (canals, masks, getting lost together).
