Just the two of you off on a new adventure!

FoodandTravel.com.au put the word out that we are looking for the most exciting destinations and during this month we will share them with you, day by day.

For starters:

How about a ROMAN(TIC) HOLIDAY?

Inspired by the adventures of the ever stylish Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck in the original Roman Holiday movie, Queensland Gold Coast Palazzo Versace's guests will be able to create their own personal Italian getaway adventure. Equipped with an 'insiders' map of secluded coastal locations and a delectable Italian picnic, guests will escape for a magical day on a bespoke Palazzo Versace Vespa. 

Now you can Romance like the Royals.

If, like Prince William and Catherine 'Kate' Middleton, you are recently engaged and would love to get away and spend some quality time together, the Isle of Wight has released a line-up of romantic breaks to help inspire you this Valentine's Day. This luxurious, romantic hideaway by the sea is only 90 minutes from London by train or car - and crossing the water will make it feel like a real getaway.

You could catch the 'love boat' - aka the cross-Solent ferry - to the diamond shaped island, just off the coast of Portsmouth and Southampton, they will be able to experience the same scenery and tranquillity that brought Williams's great-great-great-great grandmother to the Isle of Wight more than 150 years ago.

In keeping with the Island's Victorian heritage - Royal Osborne House on the Isle of Wight was Queen Victoria's own romantic retreat which she shared with her beloved Albert. Writing in her diary, she said "Often I feel surprised at being so loved, and tremble at my great happiness." Written over a decade after her wedding in 1840, Victoria's words are witness to the fact that the couple's passion continued to burn despite the responsibility of raising a family of nine and the burden of her position in life.

Still popular with today's generation looking for a romantic getaway, Twilight actor Robert Pattinson and his co-star Kristen Stewart, spent this New Year's Eve on the Isle of Wight. The celebrity couple, on a break from filming 'Breaking Dawn', were reliving their romantic trip from the previous New Year's Eve, which they also spent on the Island. 

And the couple couldn't have picked a more desirable location for this type of break.   The downlands of West Wight provide beautiful secluded walks and panoramic views, a perfect romantic setting for those have yet to pop the question, or just fall in love with the Isle of Wight's outstanding natural beauty.

Below is our pick of some of the best Isle of Wight offers to make the most of any weekend (Valentine's or otherwise):

• The stylish Seaview Hotel

• Priory Bay - this country house hotel

• Escape to the Michelin-starred Hambrough

Eating out will undoubtedly be part of the experience, and with around one pub for every square mile on the Island, and a wide range of excellent wine bars, cafes and restaurants, many serving locally produced food and wine, visitors will be spoilt for choice.

For those still searching for their soulmate, keep the first weekend in May free. At the Isle of Wight Walking Festival (7-22 May 2011) you might meet someone special when a romantic walk will ensure love is in the air - the Speed Dating Walk on Sunday 8 May. It must work as there have been three 'Wight' weddings since it started in 2006.

JUST THE TWO OF YOU IN TWO GREAT CITIES

London and Paris are always at the top of travel destinations for a romantic getaway. Nothing says romance like a stroll in one of London�s beautiful parks or a dinner in a Parisian bistro. For a limited time, the Context Travel London and Paris offices have decided to join forces and offer travelers another reason to visit both cities.

This special offer, valid for all February bookings, will include two free spaces on a culinary walk for every two private walks booked in Paris or London. Context's gastronomic walks are designed to introduce travelers to the heart of the cities through food.

"Many travelers decide to pair London and Paris when visiting Europe. Especially in the past few years, as the Eurostar has brought the two cities closer together," says Context Paris director, Lily Heise, "we wanted to give couples one more reason to visit both cities during their trip, and what's more romantic than a savory gastronomic discovery - deux?"

In Paris, the complimentary spaces will be offered on our Chocolate Tour, which visits some of the cities top artisanal chocolate shops in the company of a chef or food journalist.
