The Italian Babymoon You Didn’t Know You Needed

Planning a babymoon can feel overwhelming when you’re already preparing for so much. But taking time for yourselves before everything changes is more than just a nice idea. A pause like this helps you slow down, reconnect, and really take in what’s happening.

Italy is one of our favourite places to do exactly that. With its pace, food, and natural beauty, it’s made for quiet mornings, soft adventure, and simple pleasures. We plan each trip around what you need and take care of every detail so you don’t have to think about a thing.

Why Italy?

Italy knows how to hold people in this kind of moment. It doesn’t rush you. It gives you beauty in every direction. It’s soft hills, sound baths, and spa suites are built for expecting parents. It’s the kind of place where a simple walk can feel like a ceremony.

Where To Go For Your Italian Babymoon:

The Dolomites

If our layah travel artists were planning it for you, it would start with slow mornings: coffee in a robe, mountain air coming through the balcony doors. Gentle hikes with a guide who knows where to find wildflowers and accommodate for expecting mothers. A breakfast already waiting at the top. Maybe a sound bath in the forest. Maybe cheese tasting in an old WWI bunker. (Yes, that’s a thing and yes, it’s worth it.)

It’s a little bit of adventure, a lot of care, and the kind of quiet that makes you feel like you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.

Lake Como

Lake Como slows everything down in the best way. You start your morning with a long breakfast on the terrace, watching the water. Maybe there’s a private boat ride later, or maybe not. You decide. Nothing here is rushed. The light shifts, you wander into town for lemon gelato, and suddenly it’s dinner time.

We’d book you into a quiet villa with views that stretch for days. A place with soft sheets, a spa tucked into the stone, and a chef who already knows your dietary needs. Everything feels taken care of but not in a fussy way. Just calm, thoughtful, easy.

Puglia

This one’s for the couple who wants sunshine, space, and no decisions to make. Puglia is all whitewashed towns, olive groves, long lunches, and sea breezes. It’s not overstyled. It’s not trying to impress you. It just is. And that’s the charm.

We’d plan an easy rhythm here: swim, nap, eat, repeat. A quiet masseria with a courtyard for slow breakfasts and a private rooftop for evening snacks. Maybe a cooking class if you’re up for it. Maybe not. And that’s the point.

Final Thoughts 

Some of our favourite memories from these trips are from the small, almost invisible moments we’ve created for our clients: A bath drawn just before sunset. A massage therapist already briefed. A suite made ready with everything she might need.

They don’t ask. We just do it.

Because a babymoon isn’t about activity. It’s about care and how it feels to be looked after before you start looking after someone else.
