Romance is alive and well in Nice, the famous Italian Riviera city, which is always beckoned by many a holidaymaker. And it's easy to do, too.

Clothes shop Liberty will offer you a meal for two on the terrace of the Grand Hôtel des Eparges, overlooking the magnificent Promenade des Anglais and the surrounding Italian-style lagoon. Dinner is from £50pp, including drinks and local Champagne.

Or you can stay in Nice and have dinner at the famous Le Flobus restaurant, which has its own outdoor terrace, where you can choose between a prix fixe menu or à la carte. Choose from seared red snapper, beef fillet with king prawns, or clams alla marinara.

In addition to the restaurants mentioned above, the newly refurbished Relais & Châteaux Hotel Alteni is a great spot for a romantic evening, with an open-air terrace and glorious views across the Côte d'Azur. A seven-course dinner for two for £120 per person is served in a stunning ambiance of chandeliers and candles.
