Hi Susie. I visited Calabria for the first time last September (2014) and just fell in love with the place. Admittedly, I wasn't travelling alone, but the whole region encompassed what I love about Italy and everyone was very friendly. It's good that you speak a bit of Italian, as it will definitely come in handy. (Try to learn as much as you can before your trip.) I wrote a feature for The Guardian which should give you a few tips. If you have a car, try to stay at Le Carolee agriturismo, one of the most delightful places in the region. http://www.theguardian.com/travel/2014/oct/04/calabria-italy-beaches-bars-restaurants-hotels
