The Best Romantic Getaways

  • Courtyard at Lake Lucerne (Downtown; tel. 407/648-5188): This charming little B&B is an eclectic mix of some of Orlando's oldest homes -- each impeccably restored and meticulously furnished to period. Ask for the honeymoon suite for a really romantic getaway; just off the main room is a quaint little glass-enclosed porch -- the perfect spot to watch the sunset or sip a glass of wine.

  • Disney's Wilderness Lodge (Lake Buena Vista; tel. 407/934-7639): This grand resort is reminiscent of the lodge found at Yellowstone National Park. The spewing geyser out back, the mammoth stone hearth in the lobby, the Artist's Point 360-degree view of Bay Lake, and the towering forest sheltering the resort from the rest of the world are just a few of the reasons to stay here. Some guest rooms have patios or balconies overlooking the lake, woodlands, or the meadow.

  • Portofino Bay Hotel (Universal Orlando; tel. 888/322-5541 or 407/503-1000): This enchanting resort re-creates the romantic atmosphere and architecture of its namesake town in Italy. Lounge in the ultracomfy rooms, the state-of-the-art spa, or at one of the three heated pools. And it's only a stroll away from both of Universal Orlando's theme parks.

  • Villas of Grand Cypress (Orlando; tel. 800/835-7377 or 407/239-4700): This luxury villa-style resort offers lush grounds dotted with bougainvillea and hibiscus, lakes fat with largemouth bass and bream, and grounds speckled with trumpeter swans, wood ducks, and the occasional fox or bobcat. It shares a golf academy, racquet club, and equestrian center with the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress. Best of all, the woodsy grounds make you feel as if you're far, far from Disney, which is right next door.
