Blissport's properties in Northeast Italy are found in the regions of Veneto, Emilia Romagna, Friuli Venezia Giulia and includes the towns of Asolo, Rimini, and Venice - a great jumping off point for any of these locations for a day trip or the next stop on your honeymoon itinerary.

In the province of Veneto is of course, Italy's most romantic city, Venice. Venice gives you the feeling of life hundreds of years ago, when things moved a little slower, and no cars in sight. Venice is the perfect place to start a romantic honeymoon. Getting lost in the skinny alleys is half the fun as you make your way to all the famous sights you see in movies such as the Grand Canal, Realto Bridge, and St. Marcs Square. And of course, the classic romantic experience to complete a Venecian honeymoon: the purely Venetian gondola ride. Venice is also the perfect location for day trips via train to Verona to visit the Shakespearian setting of Romeo and Juliet, Bologna to taste the some of best cheeses Italy has to offer, or even Parma where Parmesan cheese and prosciutto were invented. The town of Asolo, known as, "The City of a Hundred Horizons" for its mountain settings is also a great jumping off point for these other activities.

Rather than a day trip, after a week in Venice why not head south to neighboring province Emilia Romagna for a few days at least? In addition to the spoils of culinary meccas Parma and Bologna,  this region in Italy is most known for medieval towers and historic sites, ceramics, mosiacs, and of course some of the best beaches in all of the Mediterranean. But more importantly, if you worry that all this wonder and relaxation will leave you yearning for a little evening excitement, the most trendy discos in Italy make the nightlife unique in Rimini. Young Italians from all over the country flood the area year round crowding the pubs, discos, and beach bars.

Finally, Friuli Venezia Giulia is a true Blissport find - a place not often frequented by Italians or other Europeans. You will truly feel as though you've gone back in time with the classic snow-capped mountains, rocky coastal  cliffs, quaint fishing villages, stunning beaches, but also some of Italy's most notable Roman ruins. As with every corner of Italy, you'll eat well and enjoy some unique local cuisine, like Polenta.

Blissport’s other picks in the Adriatic Coast include the golden sand beaches of Rimini, and panoramic views of Asolo.
