February 07, 2006 ![]() 50 Romantic Escapes Hugh StewartFrom the serpentine canals of Venice to the untamed savanna of South Africa, we've found dozens of destinations where you can steal some time together. VENICE At the intimate Ca Maria Adele, in a quiet corner of Italy's most intoxicating city, the only sound breaking the silence is the tolling of bells from the nearby Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute. There are just 14 guest quarters; book the Moors' Room with blue silk chenille wall coverings, antique Florentine-Moorish sculptures, and a balcony suspended over the adjacent canal. That way, if you never make it beyond the door, at least you can enjoy the view. T+L TIP For a memorable tour of the city, take a gondola from the hotel's private moorings to the Grand Canal. ITALY Casa Angelina In the Amalfi Coast's first design hotel, Philippe Starck furniture and colorful Murano-glass sculptures pop against white surfaces but don't distract from vistas of the Gulf of Salerno and Positano. Along with all the expansive views, there are plenty of hidden nooks—the private beach, the junior suite's enviable terrace, and the indoor whirlpool. T+L TIP For an evening adventure to remember, arrange for a boat trip to the tower of La Capperina, where a couple can dine outside on the roof. (from Travel and Liesure)
