About 1km outside Bellagio's centre, the Hotel Fioroni offers excellent value for its sunny, handsomely appointed rooms with wood floors and framed prints of Como scenes on the walls. The best rooms have French doors that open onto small balconies with fine lake views. On the downside, the stiff mattresses could use an update.
