Hotel Marincanto, Positano, Italy

What you see: Take one look at the hypnotic Mediterranean Sea and Positano's enchanting cascade of candy-colored villas from the cliff-hugging Hotel Marincanto, and you'll snap right back into honeymooner mode, canoodling like the young lovers on the benches far below. When evening falls and the village lights start to twinkle, you can't help but wonder: Is the world shining like you've had too much wine, or is that amore?

What you get: This seaside boutique hotel looks like your favorite sexy foreign film: magenta bougainvillea winding around white pillars, golden sunlight pooling on terra-cotta tile floors, and gauzy white curtains fluttering in the breeze. A private staircase leads from each of the 26 guest rooms to the hotel's own beach and brand-new infinity pool. Before long, you may catch yourself whispering "Ti amo." (Or whatever ardent-sounding Italian words you happen to know— fettucine…buona sera…Trust us, it all sounds good.)
