A couple staying in our hotel last month got engaged on a boat tour around Capri at sunset. He had tried to do it on the gondola at the top of Capri, but got scared he'd drop the ring! I second the nomination for Amalfi Coast. Rome, not so much. Can't speak for Venice or Florence....yet!

Amalfi coast views would really make it special, but I feel that Sorrento and Capri are too overloaded with tourists to make your special moment as private and intimate as you'd want. If you decided to take a trip to Positano on the bus or possibly Amalfi, those would be a bit more intimate.<BR>

My first visit to Italy was to Venice and Florence. The first night I was in Venice, I remember seeing a couple dancing in St. Mark's square under the full moon, and thought this is the perfect place to be in love. Well, seven years later I wasn't engaged there, but I am going on my honeymoon there next month! Best of luck!

I have to throw in another 2 cents here re: Venice. While I agree that St Mark's Square at night is very romantic and magical, it is pretty crowded - a good place to go AFTER you propose to dance the night away. As for proposing on a gondola ride - well, make sure you take the ride at night, when the smell of the canals is not as pronounced! I still think the coastal breezes, the lemon trees and the palms and all of the flora in Amalfi make for an intoxicating mix - and you can top it off with a lovely glass of Limoncello.

I have to vote for the Almalfi coast...either Positano,Ravello or Capri. The Cimbrone gardens in Ravello would be great as would the terrace restaurant at Palazzo Sasso. The options are endless but I can't think of a more perfect place than the coast. Good Luck, you'll have a fantastic trip!!!

If you decide on Florence, go up to the lookout above the city or even to Fiesole (a small town just above the city) at dusk. The light that sweeps over Florence just after sunset and before complete dark, is absolutely unforgettable...which is what you want in a setting for a proposal.

Out of the places you're going to, I have been to Venice and Florence. My vote would be to propose during a gondola ride. There are many romantic places in Venice, but it can often be crowded. One of the nicest parts about a gondola ride is that it is just the two of you out on the water, away from the crowds. <BR><BR>Any time of day would be wonderful, but especially romantic would be during sunset...however, you may have to plan ahead a little because the gondoliers get booked up at that time of day.
