Less than a week to go to Valentine's Day . The famous party of lovers, which every February involves gifts, dinners for couples and romantic weekends by the lake, this year will be lived in a completely revisited key, but this does not mean that you have to lose heart.

You do not need to go to luxury suites, spas and resorts to enjoy a comfortable environment and a magical and relaxing atmosphere: it is possible to recreate a location characterized by an atmosphere worthy of Valentine's Day even at home .
Inviting your partner to your home and preparing a dinner (organized well in advance) based on well-known aphrodisiac foods, to be enjoyed together by candlelight, are the main and essential points from which to start to organize a romantic evening with all the trimmings.
