Overnight Delights |
Travelling to another place with your lover is always a special delight. Finding somewhere interesting or beautiful to stay will give you both memories forever. Food and Travel.com.au has collected a world of possibilities for you and your special someone. New ones will be added each day all month. Make sure you don't miss any ! Let's begin with : EnglandThe Lugger Hotel is undoubtedly Cornwall's most idyllic and romantic bolt-hole, tucked down on the water's edge in the tiny fishing village of Portloe. Once a 17th century smugglers' inn, this 22 bedroom hotel oozes Cornish charm, with roaring ingle-nook log fires, cosy dens for couples to snuggle into and the most breathtaking Ocean views.
Food-loving romantics will fall for the acclaimed Lugger Restaurant, with its fabulous local Falmouth Oysters and fresh crab and lobster - plucked off the fishing boats that moor in the harbour each day. For rambling romancers, the stunning Roseland Peninsular coastal pathways are seconds away. Take a picnic, find hidden coves and watch the sun go down.
Marvelling at the 180-degree view of the fragrant harbour, relishing the gastronomic excellence, and essentially, rejoicing in the realm of love, are what Harbour Grand Hong Kong will offer in the season of love this year.
Valentine's Day Room Packages from HK$2,199, include a night stay at Superior Harbour View Room, 6-course set dinner for two at Kwan Cheuk Heen, buffet breakfast for two at Harbour Grand Café, plus a lofty Salvatore Ferragamo gift set. Need to spice it up? Add a thousand dollars and the lovebirds will be served a lavish 5- course set dinner at the romantic Le 188 ? Restaurant & Lounge. Room packages available from 12-14 February 2011.
At Le 188 ? Restaurant & Lounge chefs have prepared an unprecedented dessert for this special moment - Strawberry & Champagne Crystal Ball.
What steals everyone's heart is the heart-shaped strawberry mousse inside the translucent champagne ball. It's a hidden gem to be discovered. Want to propose? The culinary team could put the ring inside for Ms Right to crack and win it. Live band will fill the air with melodies of love to add to the ambience. A 5-course set dinner is priced at HK$1,888 for two persons including two complimentary glasses of Champagne Cocktail, and topping it up with HK$500 per person will get five glasses of pairing wine each. Good through 12-14 February 2011.
Complimentary Ferragamo Gift Set Each couple ordering Valentine's Day set menus or Dinner Buffet at one of the hotel's restaurants on 14 February 2011 could receive an exquisite Valentine's Day Salvatore Ferragamo gift set. Enquire when booking. ROMANCE TO A TEAWith Valentine's Day fast approaching, love is in the air. But what type of romantic are we? According to a recent survey* conducted by villa rental specialists Owners Direct, British holidaymakers are torn between packing seductive nightwear... or their own brand of teabags. But when it comes to romantic destinations, we want nothing but the best, it seems. A wet weekend in Scunthorpe simply wouldn't do - it has to be somewhere romantic like Paris or Rome. And proposing on a romantic break? Don't do it... unless you are a risk taker - only 50% of those surveyed admitted to saying yes! British holiday makers seem to fall into three distinct types, according to the survey: Which one do you fall into? The Tetley type You leave out that the sexy underwear, the city guide and even the camera to make way for your comfy slippers, teddy, photo of you with Jeremy Clarkson and torch for bedtime reading (and in case of power failures of course). You pack with meticulous precision, sticking a list of suitcase contents in the lid to ensure that none of your prized possessions get left behind. Whilst many people do take a break for special occasions such as Valentine's Day, it seems many Brits are creatures of habit and wherever we are in the world we want our little luxuries with us. Our own teabags, books, iPod, scented candles and photos of our nearest and dearest are all things we pack.
Perfect for Tetley types: This modern property in Vienna has a well equipped American kitchen with everything you need to whip up a gourmet meal.
The 00-Heaven You're a man (or woman) on a mission - romance is your thing and you want to tell the world. A romantic getaway is about finding a little love nest and not leaving it for the entire weekend. Flowers - roses of course, to decorate the bed, champagne on ice, chocolates by the box full. And of course you'll be packing your Chanel No. 5, some seductive nightwear... and not much else. 55% of those in the survey said luxurious accommodation was the most important aspect of a romantic break and 38% of said the most important thing to pack would be lingerie or special clothes for going out.
For the true romantics: gaze at the views as well as into each other's eyes on the balcony of this stunning apartment in Lake Como, Italy. The organised Adonis For you, true romance is about planning. If it's champagne, it's at the top of the Eiffel Tower, at night, after a tour around the city by horse and carriage, stopping off at the famous landmarks, taking in the sights, and capturing the special memories on camera. With a proposal up your sleeve, you're going to make this a truly memorable moment - no expense spared - but be careful, apparently only 50% of those asked the big question on a romantic break said yes! Your case is crammed with city guides, comfy walking shoes and of course, your camera. 30% said it was important to be near to the sights but surprisingly, just 7% of those surveyed said their camera was the most important item to pack for a romantic break. Remember to make a little time for relaxing, after all it is a holiday - 73% of those surveyed voted a weekend break the most romantic treat from a partner. Arranging some cleaning isn't as romantic asyou may think only 2% voted for coming home to find the house had been cleaned!
Make it a night to remember at this Paris apartment with champagne and views of the Eiffel Tower.
