Italian Lakes accommodation

[chef]

Anyone have any recommendations for a decent hotel/villa to stay overlooking/near one of the Italian lakes?

Airbnb... lots of recommendations on here.

Relaxing place in Garda lake in Garda

Worth the hassle of setting up a profile imo.

For 3 star but beautiful, we stayed here - great food and views:

Hotel Belvadere, Bellagio, Lake Como.

I stayed here Camin Hotel Luino a few years ago. The food was excellent, the service and rooms were very good. The staff all seem to speak English with a Scottish accent., but don't let that but you off.

And we stayed here http://www.residenzadolcevita.com/ last year. Very good food, and we'd definitely go there again.

Both are on Lake Maggiore.

Hotel Terme, Sirmione Lake Garda. It was a little impersonal but otherwise great.
It is within striking distance of a couple of other parts of Italy.

Cheap and cheerful or agent style full boll*cks?

Not over pretentious but not a dump. Somewhere ideally small scale, has a luxurious feel, good service, good food, a great view and not the "look at me" type resort filled with people competing on how much their sunglasses and accessories are. A rustic small private house/villa with a balcony or terrace in the countryside overlooking a lake just a short moped journey from a village with a decent restaurant would be ideal.

Alternatively, a small (as in just a few rooms not small in the space of the rooms) boutique hotel in a quiet street in a lakeside town with a courtyard/balcony.

That sort of thing.

Are you planning an "I don't want to see any recruitment agents" break?
