Planning a 2016 Road Trip, Recommend where to stay

Hi Guys 

 

Just started to plan next years road trip down to the Italian Lakes and the Mountains Roads just north. 

 

We're looking for a Hotel in the Lake Como region where we can stay for about a week and go off driving the mountain roads but also have day off relaxing by the lake or pool..............

 

The hotel needs to have private parking (gates would be nice) 

 

Any recommendation???

I looked at going to stay around Lake Como and I couldn't afford anything what I found.

I will watch this thread with interest and jealousy.

700 euro should get you something. Looked last year but went to Austria instead. Suggest you get something like booking.com app and book it now so you don't miss out as they fill up quite quick. In fact just looked and good cheapish rooms are going quick.

How many of you are there Tom.

 

Know of a good value 2 bedroom apartment in Arco, North of Lake Garda I'd recommend.

Arco is a lovely little town with good bars and food.

I fully appreciate I could just be a one off but very wary of booking.com now after pre-booking a hotel 7 months in advance for paris roubaix event only for them to cancel two days before leaving us no options but over an hour away for a 5:30am start with twice the price. They did finally reburse us after battling for three months.

At the moment there is 2 cars and 4 people so that might be perfect.  Can you PM me more info please

I have used them a couple of times now Dave and never had a problem, but it all depends on the hotel I guess.

 

You up for coming with us  ;)

Have you had a look at Air BnB?

Know several who have had great accommodation via this.

Not Como, but I've used the Hotel Olympia in Arabba a number of times. It's in the Dolomites not far from Cortina and has instant access to some of the best driving roads and mountain passes you could wish for.

we stopped in Bardolino on Lake Garda in a lovely modern apartment last year for three nights

 

the only negative with that particular apartment was the lack of close parking!

 

Worth a look though and if you need details just let me know
