It sounds like you're planning a fantastic trip! For Florence, I agree that booking early is crucial, especially for June. Have you considered boutique hotels or smaller B&Bs? They often have unique charm and can be more budget-friendly. For Varenna, it's indeed a hotspot, but nearby towns like Bellagio or Menaggio are excellent alternatives with similar beauty. If you're open to it, staying in one of these towns and taking day trips could be a great way to experience the area without the stress of finding a spot in Varenna itself. Have you thought about how you'll be traveling between these locations? Train and ferry connections are quite scenic and convenient in that region!
