The Hotel Metropolitan in Bellagio is fantastic only hotel right on the lake,

The front desk at the PHM is fantastic and have been superb everytime we are there including last minute Last Supper tickets and help with Lake Como. I would email them. Florence is a hard day trip really hard.

good luck Oh try Cafe Dante fantastic real local
