As far as stunning settings go, Relais San Maurizio is hard to beat, yet flies under the radar in “Top 10 honeymoon destinations” searches. The hotel’s former monastery status may throw some tourists, but newlyweds who visit will leave planning to come back for their anniversary. Grape cultivation and winemaking are an important part of the Piedmont property’s history, so take advantage of the wine tours before heading to the spa for a holistic or high-tech treatment. Either way, do not head home without floating over the hills in a hot air balloon.
