Romantic Vacation Destinations in Connecticut

Sometimes the stress and strain of everyday life get to the point where you just need to get away, even if it is only for a weekend. Connecticut, with its miles of coastline, its New England charm and its proximity to both New York and Boston, offers a variety of romantic vacation destinations.

The Litchfield Hills

In the northwestern part of the state, a reasonable drive from the high-intensity life of Manhattan, lies the picturesque rural area of Litchfield County. Many successful New York business people have made this region their second home. The area is home to a growing number of upscale restaurants, art galleries, and antique shops - all of which rely on city-dwelling tourists intent on escaping for a countryside vacation. There are an abundance of quaint inns and bed and breakfast accommodations across Litchfield County. The Interlaken Inn in Lakeville, Connecticut has been a romantic getaway destination for over 100 years. Couples can escape there to enjoy the nearby Berkshire Mountains in every season, from summer hiking to fall foliage and winter sleigh rides.

If an oceanside stay is what you need to put you in a romantic mood, then the town of Old Saybrook, Connecticut might be the perfect vacation destination. Located at the mouth of the Connecticut River, this historic town offers quiet beaches, beautiful historic homes, and plenty of New England charm.
