myself and two buddies have booked flights to milan for next wednesday, we’re going to hire a car… and then we don’t know really. I’ve checked around on the web and I can see some resorts that are within a few hours drive, but what are our chance of getting reasonably price accomodation at this late stage? we’re not exactly made of money!  
I’ve checked a good few websites, most reasonably priced places don’t seem to have availability, only the 4 or 5-star hotels.  
So, do any of you have recommendations about what resort to go to and how to sort out a place to stay?
