Italian Lakes in August - Book ahead?
Hello All,
I know August is the busiest season for the lake region in Italy. However, from looking at the different websites I can only find hotels and B&Bs, but I'm guessing there are plenty of smaller and simpler B&Bs without a website out there. Do I have a chance of finding a room without booking in advance? If yes, should I simply roam the streets of the little towns around the lakes? If no, any hotel recommendations are extremely welcome! Thanks, Mickey |

Don't see why there should be any misunderstanding. Those combine to be an area that is commonly called the "Italian Lakes" as you correctly said in your subject line. -- Steve |

Only some Italian bozos may consider the expression of "the Italian lake region" somehow geographically ambiguous. |

I should point out that this August, at the height of the vacation season. Thanks. |

I can't answer the question of whether you'll be able to find anything without booking ahead, but personally, I almost always book ahead. That's for a simple reason: I don't want to waste any of my precious vacation time looking for places to stay. Roaming the streets looking for a hotel is bad enough, but if you have to do it while carrying luggage around, it's worse. -- Ken Blake Please Reply to the Newsgroup |

Marianne There is a great site he http://www.enit.it/ That lists (or did list) all of the tourism offices in Italy. Unfortunately, it has been down for about a week. I understand that thousands of sites in Italy and several other countries got hacked recently. It might be related. As an alternate you can go he http://en.comuni-italiani.it/ but you will need to weed through the individual region or province websites for the addresses. Bruce |
