Self Catering Southern Italy. Struggling !!
Discussion
As the title suggests. I posted a few months ago and got some good suggestions for self catering options in Italy. The problems is that it seems the further south you go in Italy the less self catering there is available. We are visiting Maratea, Basillicata in the province of Potenza. I need to be as close as possible to this I we can be.
As silly as this sound I have emailed may be 15 enquiries via website forms and had a response back from only 2 places. I replied to the first with a couple of questions, and then never heard from them again
The second answered my questions and then sent me a link to a 'firm' booking form which i completed and sent back, thankfully no card details were required. Same thing - I have not heard back from the company either. I have even called the second company and left a message but they never got back to me.
The bottom line is I'm nervous about driving all the way from Cheshire to southern italy when Im struggling to make contact with the property owners/agents to even make a booking.
A friend told me that in southern italy they have a really laid back 'come day go day' attitude to life. This is find once i've arrived and got the keys to the accomodation.
Anybody got any suggestions? apart from go to Benidorm

Have you tried here: http://www.pianetamaratea.com/ It's up on the hills just South of Maratea (very close)
I stayed there 20 years ago, and fondly remember it! Google Maps
