Headline: Fans Of Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet Can Now Stay In Juliet's House This Valentine's Day

Caption: Fans of Shakespeare's famous novel, Romeo and Juliet, are in for a treat as Airbnb has announced that Juliet's House in Verona, Italy - Casa di Giulietta - will open its doors for one lucky couple on Valentine's Day. The 13th century honey-coloured building and its iconic balcony is thought to have inspired Shakespeare's much-loved book (notably the secluded balcony scene where Romeo goes to find Juliet). Working with an Italian architect, Airbnb has transformed the centuries-old building into a sumptuous stay fit for a modern day Romeo and Juliet: one couple will be waited on by a personal butler and treated to a romantic candlelit dinner prepared by two Michelin star chef Giancarlo Perbellini in a glittering dining room filled with crystals, candles and flowers. After a busy day of feasting, exploring and reading Juliet’s love letters, the lucky couple will retire for the night to Juliet’s medieval-themed bedroom which features “Letto di Giulietta”, the original bed used in Zeffirelli’s classic 1960s movie ‘Romeo and Juliet’. To stay in Juliet's house, applicants must pen a letter to 'Juliet', sharing their own love story and explaining why they want to spend the night in the historic house.
