Have you tried the Guide Routard? For places I've compared them (not
Italy or Switzerland) it's better on accommodation than Lonely Planet
or Rough Guide - more entries and blunter opinions. And certainly not
upmarket.

Thanks that looks like a definite possibility. I wonder if the guides are
available in bookshops in the UK at all? Ideally I'd like to see a copy
before buying

Have you checked out Touring Club Italiano? gb
