We spent a week in this lovely, family run B&B in Parghelia, 2km from Tropea. The family were very kind, friendly and welcoming and offered us lifts to Tropea and the beach. Parghelia is a small village with a couple of beautiful unspoiled beaches within walking distance, but down many steps, and a bigger and a more commercial beach further away with sunbeds, umbrellas, boats and pedalos. There is a train which runs along the coast from Lamezia to Rosano, stopping at all the towns along the route, including Parghelia, but I would hire a car if I went again as it would be easier to get around and see more of the area. Car hire is available in the village. There are a few restaurants, bars and shops within walking distance of the B&B, but we had to go to Tropea for a greater choice. We had a wonderful holiday in this beautiful and relatively undiscovered (by the British) part of Italy and I would certainly return.
