My husband and I will be going to Italy in September to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. We will be spending a night or two on Lake Como. Can you recommend an affordable yet elegant hotel with lakeview balconies?
There is a lovely hotel in Argegno, Villa Belvedere which is right on the lake. It is very affordable but may not meet your expectation of elegant. It only has one room with a balcony but all the rooms have large french door type windows which allow great views across the lake. You can pull up a chair and is almost like a balcony. It's right on the lake, clean, comfortable, staff all speak excellent english, great food and has a ferry stop 1 minutes walk from the hotel. Check out their website.
