We stayed at Mario&Licia's place mid February, it was very quiet, the very nice beach just behind the garden door was almost all for us (the kids did play in the water, though the air was still quite fresh). Bakeries and some simple food shops were open in Castelluzo, accessible by bike. Very nice view on mountains (Mt Cofano !)/see just around the house, and many interesting sites at less than 1h of driving. We felt welcome and Mario&Licia had some nice suggestions for our stay. So no regrets !
