Smack in the middle of centuries-old Pizzo, a two-minute walk from its central piazza, the Piccolo Grand Hotel is a modern oasis of comfort and contemporary style. This boutique hotel has 17 well-appointed rooms and suites, with soothing white interiors punctuated by pops of bright color on soft, sumptuous surfaces, and spa-like bathrooms that include heated floors and chromotherapy (shower heads with LED lights that change the water color for a sensory experience sometimes called color therapy).  The interiors are a playful mix of classic and contemporary with a decidedly youthful feel.

Piccolo Grand features a bar and lounge, game room, mini library, and a fitness center, but the most unmissable amenity is its covered rooftop breakfast patio where a healthy breakfast of the freshest fruits, meats, cheeses, cereals and eggs to order will jumpstart your day as you take in endless sea views beyond terracotta tiled rooftops.

Single rooms start at 99 euros and the largest suite runs only just over 200 euros. With all of the exploring you’ll do in Calabria, a comfortable base like Piccolo Grand Hotel is highly recommended to refresh and restore at night before hitting the hills the next day.  Reservations can be made online.
