Experience Venice, Italy, Like Andi Dorfman on ‘The Bachelorette’
The dreamiest place to fall in love!
Venice, Italy, is one of the most romantic destinations on earth and an impeccable place to continue your journey to find love. With its world-renowned wine, food, views, art, history, and weather, this Italian region will pull you in and steal your heart. With no roads and only canals, Venice will have your love setting sail the entire trip.
Andi Dorfman traveled to Venice on Season 10 of “The Bachelorette,” and here’s how you can experience the Italian islands just like her.
Where to Stay
Andi and her men stayed at the Abano Grand Hotel just outside of Venice. There is one word to describe this hotel: luxury. This hotel goes beyond other grand hotels because of its stunning luxury spa. At their Venezia spa, every detail is a tribute to the beauty of Venice. From the thermal steam baths to the showers covered in quartzite, this spa brings all the charm of Venice into one space. The hotel also has luxurious thermal pools and five-star dining experiences. Like we said, luxury at its finest.
One-on-One Date: Exploring the City
For Andi’s first one-on-one date in Venice, she invites Nick to spend the day exploring the beautiful city. They enjoy time in San Marco Square and take in the famous scenery. And while in Italy, they couldn’t pass up the opportunity to stop by a café for some pizza and gelato! The two walk along the canals and sneak in some kisses along the way. How romantic! They kept their traditional Venice day going with a gondola ride where they went under the Bridge of Sighs. Andi and Nick got to watch the Venice sunset from their gondola. Talk about a dreamy place to fall in love! For the dinner portion of their date, they change into formal attire and Andi arrives by gondola to meet Nick at Ca' Zenobio degli Armeni for a private dinner. Nick received Andi’s rose and they danced to music from an accordion group. While dancing, Andi ties a traditional Venetian mask on Nick. Sounds like the perfect Venice day!
Group Date: Honesty Is the Best Policy
For her group date, Andi met her men in Monselice, Italy. They explored the town square where they tried cheeses, watched a puppet show, enjoyed local dancers, and bought fun balloons. They then go to Castello Di Monselice where Andi brought them to a room filled with armor and weapons. Andi brings in two gentlemen and tells the guys that they will be taking lie detector tests. For the after party, the group went back to Castello Di Monselice where they enjoyed cocktails in the courtyard.
One-on-One Date: A Romeo & Juliet-Style Love Story
Andi invited Cody on her second one-on-one date of the week. The two went to Verona and Cody met Andi alongside the river and she told him that Verona is the birthplace of Romeo and Juliet. How romantic! They walked along the streets and enjoyed the beauty of the local Colosseum. Andi and Cody went to Juliet’s Courtyard and saw the place that inspired the play. Andi got up on the balcony and Cody recited, “Juliet Juliet! Or should I say, ‘Andi! Andi!’” After they finished exploring, the two headed to the Club Di Giulietta where love letters to Juliet are received from all over the world. Andi and Cody jumped in and helped writer some responses to the love letters. How sweet!
