Hotel Jan Brito, Bruges
We stayed at Hotel Jan Brito during our weekend in Bruges and loved all of the romantic vibes, especially in the living room/bar area. After wandering around Bruges all day, it was absolutely wonderful to come back to a bottle of champagne in front of a roaring fire.
With only 37 rooms, Hotel Jan Brito is intimate by default. There are never many people wandering around, so it’s easy to feel like you have the whole place to yourself. And, considering it’s a 16th century manor house, that can make you feel pretty special! The rooms are all situated around a stunning courtyard, providing a perfect oasis for warmer mornings. Hotel Jan Brito is located in the center of Bruges, so it’s the perfect base for exploring the charming and romantic city. Rates start around €120 per night for a double.

Hotel Restaurant du Port, Yvoire
One of the most romantic hotels I have stayed in is the Hotel Restaurant du Port in Yvoire on Lake Geneva. The hotel is built right on the shore and our room, which featured a balcony, had the most amazing views over the lake. Sitting on the balcony with the lake lapping below us, was the ideal way to start a romantic stay. The room and bathroom were both tastefully furnished and the highly-rated terrace restaurant (reservations are recommended) offered delicious food and wine and a romantic ambience. Double room rates at Hotel Restaurant du Port, Yvoire start from €170 per night.

La Pipistrelle Hotel
I can count on one hand how many times we’ve travelled without the kids, so when we decided to spend my birthday weekend in Luxembourg, it had to be REALLY special. I’m pleased to report La Pipistrelle Hotel did not disappoint.
This picture perfect boutique hotel has all the luxury you’d want for a romantic weekend in Europe – beautiful decor, spacious open plan accommodation, delicious home cooked breakfast and a location on the door step of the beautiful historic city centre. The hotel has only 4 suites which means a stay here feels personal and intimate.
The location of La Pipistrelle is first class. There are plenty of restaurants and bars on the doorstep and the elevator a few steps from the hotel’s entrance takes you up to the city in a couple of minutes. Tucked away in a courtyard setting, the property design is really unique and architecturally stunning, having been built into the jagged cliff side.
The top floor suite we stayed in had a free standing bathtub and beautiful views over the river – the perfect romantic spot to relax with a glass of wine after a day of sight seeing.

Roca Nivaria Gran Hotel, Tenerife
It’s very rare that my husband and I can afford to stay in anything other than a 3* hotel, so when we found a great deal at The 5* Roca Nivaria Gran Hotel in Tenerife, we jumped at the chance.
And I’m so glad we did because, It was one of the most romantic weeks of our relationship.
The luxury hotel set the scene so perfectly with tropical palm trees, sweeping sea waves and 2 cascading infinity pools, which actually hosted a beautiful wedding during our stay.
The hotel also features a relaxing spa which my husband and I took great advantage of during our week long break. I’ve never felt so relaxed and comfortable as I did floating around with my husband in the salt water flotarium, complete bliss.
But really, the main reason we found this hotel so romantic was because it’s so peaceful, clean and the perfect place for busy couples to unwind and rediscover romance in their relationship.
Prices start from From €136 per room, per night.
