During my recent trip to Italy I stayed on two occasions at
Hotel Il Perlo in Bellagio. Il Perlo is a small family run two star hotel in a spectacular setting over looking Lake Como and
Bellagio.

The Hotel has secure bike storage, a repair area equipped with basic tools, a repair stand and staff will laundry your kit after the days ride. It is located on the climb up to
Madonna Del Ghisallo a climb used in the
Giro di Lombardia, ashort walk into the town of Bellagio.
Carlo the owner speaks very good English, is very often at the front desk and is a wealth of knowledge when you are looking for cycling routes. All the staff are friendly, the food is good, and when weather permits the main patio has the same view as our room and is the place to have your meals/drinks.
I thought the price of a room (which includes breakfast) was very reasonable and if you are there on a Thursday there is a free wine tasting. I highly recommend you stay here when in Italy and you don't have to be a cyclist! For more info check out the Hotel Il Perlo site
