My wife and I are looking for decent 3 or 4 star hotels that arent too outrageously expensive but in decent locations. Thanks!!!

Hi

My wife and I went to Italy in June...we went to Milan and Venice and I have posted a trip report and pictures from both places on my homepage www.gardkarlsen.com. Maybe you can find some useful information there

Have a great trip

I can give you some info about the Bellavista in Menaggio. We had dinner in the hotel restaurant twice this past May (we were staying in another hotel).
The hotel is directly on the lake..you can get lakeview and non lakeview rooms. Easy walk from the ferry dock. Food in the restaurant was good we thought. We looked at one of the rooms...not overly large but clean and nicely decorated. It is in a good location for Menaggio...very near the lakefront square where there are several restaurants, gelato stands, newsstand, churches, and close to the promenade area, too. Hope this helps.

on Lake COmo in Varenna I recommend the Albergo Milano, try to get room 1 or 2 with the large balcony! www.varenna.net

OK..if we're also recommending OTHER hotels on this string I'll chime in with a recommendation for the Du Lac..also in Varenna..they have a website but unfortunately I do not have it handy.

It's albergodulac.com. I just booked a room with seaview for a friend 175 euros before Oct. 15 and 155 after. Other rooms with garden views, etc. cheaper. Rooms at Bellavista even less, maybe as low as 89 euros with seaview, but no balcony. do a google search for the bellavista.
