Romantic Virginia Getaways

Romantic Destinations in Virginia

As the state's slogan goes, “Virginia is for Lovers”. This state, which includes the best influences of the Northern and Southern East Coast states, is a perfect mix of Southern charm and Northern style. Close to the nation's capital, Washington DC, but also rural – Virginia offers the ability to stay near one of the country's biggest cities or in a small village or town. You can choose the historic areas around Washington such as Alexandria or the well known Williamsburg area, or choose a spot near Virginia's capital, Richmond. Wherever you choose, romantic destinations in Virginia are suited to any couple's needs.

The city of Williamsburg, Virginia is unique among areas in the state. There is a modern side to this city, with the Busch Gardens theme park located here, as well as a brewery, many outlet stores and other shopping areas – but there is also so much more. Williamsburg is the United States' largest and most well known Colonial recreation village, with an entire portion of the city being designated as Colonial Williamsburg. This part of the city is restored to just the way it was before the Revolutionary War, and it draws history buffs, as well as families, from throughout the country to see the sites.

A spot to stay at while experiencing Colonial Williamsburg is the Legacy of Williamsburg Tavern Inn. This Inn is situated just five blocks away from Colonial Williamsburg, and it was designed to evoke the feeling of an authentic 18th century inn and tavern. There are six functional fireplaces scattered throughout the Inn, which houses just three guest suites. A full breakfast is served each morning by the Innkeeper who will be dressed in 18th century attire, and you can feel free to enjoy it in the authentic Keeping Room. A Romance package is available and includes two nights' stay, champagne, flowers and chocolates.

Another place that is sure to keep you in the historic spirit is A Williamsburg White House, also located close to Colonial Williamsburg. Themed rooms recreate the atmosphere of the “real” White House, and fireplaces throughout all the common areas add to the authenticity and charm of the inn. A full breakfast is served each morning with delights like Eggs Benedict, and the small size of the inn (just four guest rooms) means there will be much attention to detail. Romantic destinations in Virginia are made even more special by the romance package available at A Williamsburg White House, which includes chilled wine, lunch and dinner gift certificates, chocolates and more.

Staying in the historic regions of Virginia is a different way to experience the romance that this state has to offer. Not just for families or class trips, the historic spots throughout this state are perfect places for romance.
