hotels in Lake Como/Florence/Milan
 

I will be traveling with a female colleague to a conference in Lake Como at the end of May. All hotels for the meeting are sold out. Any good list of lodging I can look at? Also arriving in Milan and would like to spend 2-3 days in Florence. Should I stay a night in Milan or go to Florence immediately by train. Wondering if it would be too tiring. Advice on reasonable lodging (around $100) in Milan and Florence
Thanks

Where on Lake Como?

Hotel CAsci (www.hotelcasci.com) in Florence.

Message: Because of the Monza Grand Prix, September can be very difficult around Milan/Lake Como. Although this is not a website, here is an answer (now getting a little "old") that references a resource that helped me a lot in 2000.

Message: ...booking around Grand Prix time is very, very tough.

For what it's worth, we got very nice help two years ago from

Will be in Cernobbio, Lake Como at the end of May 2004. Made reservations at Albergo-Centrale hotel and at Baradello. The latter sounds real cheap-any reviews on these hotels?
Thanks
