Pair wine or a cocktail with dessert before taking a dip in the saltwater pool.
The Girl and the Fig
Champagne, crepes, and the Eiffel Tower have always featured heavily in romance films, but you don’t have to travel to France to enjoy the French allure.

As for the food, the Portuguese-inspired menu mixes Southern European ingredients, such as olives, garlic, tomatoes, and, of course, wine, with unexpected flavors from around the world.
Della Santina’s
Tuscany’s atmosphere was the goal of Della Santina’s design. It is cozy yet luxurious, with clean, neutral colors and interesting, eye-catching decoration. Some highlights include the stone entryway, gorgeous covered patio, and a full wall of wine.
