Romantic breaks

A romantic break means different things to different people. For some, it might be long hikes to shared silences on mountaintops. For others, a meal where each course is more magnificent than the last, a night of lively music or a simple escape to a country cottage. We’ve partnered with the Postcards from Midlife podcast to create collections and gather inspiring stories that’ll spark the romantic in you, however you express it.

What to see

Spend your days wandering the cobbles, exploring galleries and shops, stopping at backstreet cafés and dining in beautiful restaurants as you let the romance of the city, whether its Paris, Florence, London or anywhere in between, fuel your own.

What to do

If candlelit dinners aren’t your thing, or you at least want to work up an appetite first, then a long coastal walk to a pub will make your romantic weekend. Dorest is blessed with both spectacular cliffside strolls and places to settle for a pint afterwards. Whether or not you ever make it home for dinner is up to you.
