Charlottesville, VA is the perfect place to experience a romantic weekend with your special someone. First, it is within a half day drive from most major cities in the eastern US megalopolis; a mere two hours from Washington, DC, Baltimore, MD, and three hours from Philadelphia, PA.
Charlottesville is an ideal place in the mid-Atlantic region to experience history, education, scenic beauty, and great food. First, plan to stay at the Boar's Head Resort and Spa, which offers great dining, romantic accomodations, and spa facilities and many sporting activities. Boar's Head is on the west side of Charlottesville, which is one of the most beautiful areas of Albemarle County, no matter the season.
Charlottesville offers the University of Virginia, also known as the Harvard of the South. UVA houses the historic Rotunda and Lawn where Thomas Jefferson first comtemplated educational utopia. Speaking of Jefferson, Charlottesville also boasts Monticello, one of the few site on the United Nations World Heritage Sites. With presidents, the homes of James Madison, James Monroe, and Woodrow Wilson are all within thirty minutes drive of downtown Charlottesville.
Once done touring UVA and the historical sites, return to the Boar's Head and travel about five additional minutes westward and dine at Duner's, a French-American upscale eatery that has been known as regular choices for famous local residents John Grisham, Sissy Spacek, Howie Long, and The Rock.
Charlottesville is a great small-town romantic weekend gettaway. No traffic, scenic beauty, and plenty to keep you busy between close times with your special someone. |
