The Best Romantic Getaway Accommodation – Guest Post

You're going to LOVE this Guest Post all about the best romantic getaway accommodations!  Enjoy!

For those of us who love to travel, the gift of a romantic getaway is the perfect present. Whether you are whisked to a romantic hotel for the weekend or taken to Paris for a week, this kind of trip can only strengthen your relationship. To organize a surprise trip however, takes planning and a little forward thinking, which is where many people trip up. The biggest and first step is choosing your destination. This can be an inspiring and also overwhelming process, but once that is decided on, you can move forward with logistics. However, remember to keep it a secret!

So you have a destination in mind, you know what you want to see and where you want to eat, but you really need to consider where you want to stay as you will be spending some time in a single location. The best advice is to plan and book well in advance as there are many different styles of accommodation to think about. If you are city bound, then boutique hotels are a great choice. They are typically more modern, romantic and they certainly do have the wow factor.

Some accommodations are romantic getaways, all on their own!

One of the best boutique hotels, perfect for short and long break is the Hotel Ripa in Rome, hopefully you will have considered the amazing city of Rome as a destination. It is the epitome of romance. The Hotel Ripa is a classic boutique hotel that blends the family owned hospitality with unique design, the showcases just how lovely a stay here is.  The playful, futuristic furnishings are perfect for lounging in with a glass of champagne and the majority of the rooms come with private balconies – amazing considering the reasonable price!

If you are looking for romantic accommodation that is truly one of a kind, then why not treat your loved one to a long weekend in a Tudor Castle? Yes you really can stay in a Tudor castle adorned with real armoured warriors and four poster beds. Thornbury Castle, on the very edge of the Cotswolds in Gloucestershire UK is currently the only Tudor castle to have been turned into a thriving, romantic hotel, that is perfect for  short romantic break. A stay here will take in all the wealth of history, that includes rooms where Henry V111 stayed, walks around the historic gardens and in room spa treatments.

If you are a couple who love adventure, unique experiences and hidden world gems, then you must look at a trip to Awasi in Chile. Now I wouldn't normally consider the desert to be a hub of romanticism, but hidden in the Attacama desert is the small town of San Pedro de Attacama, often considered to be the archaeological capital of Chile. A trip here really is a trip back in time. Awasi itself is situated inside one of the ancient sites and is the perfect location for off road desert fun as well as learning the culture of the small town.  Within the walls of the hotel is a restaurant, pool and solariums, on top of each room having its own private patio. Wake up to the sunrise over the desert – what could possibly be more romantic?

The most important thing to do is make your accommodation bookings early and keep it a secret – the quieter you are the bigger the surprise will be.
