Hi Lesley, I'm afraid we have no specific recommendations for hotels or even the names of restaurants. We stayed in the middle of centro storico in a rented flat and did not focus on other hotels. There are tons of bars and ristorantes and all within reasonable walking distance, but dunno if they'll all be open in winter. There are some hotels on the beach below town that should have availability this time of year....probably try some web searches. The walk up to centro storico from below is not for the meek, but ok if you pace yourselves. Pretend you're gazing at a boat in the harbour while catching your breath! I would guess that parking is not an issue this time of year 'tho, so you could drive up and down the hill. This might work, I think we walked by Hotel La Porta del Mare going to the beach. We enjoyed the entire town. The main piazza near post office is good people watching in the morning when everyone heads to school or work.

Have fun, it's a nice little town not as busy as Scalea. Pizzo just north is interesting. Capo Vaticano, just south, cannot be missed on a clear day. It reminds us of California or something with large single homes in the hills above the beach. doug
