Calabria -suggestions for accomodations near or in Tropea?

We are planning a one-week stay in Calabria in early/mid-June 2022 and would like to stay in one place and venture out on day trips. I have heard that the Tropea area is lovely and accessible to the autostrada. We would like to do day trips to Reggio Calabria, Cosenza, Pizzo,and the Capo Vaticano area and possibly even the Aeolian Islands. We are considering a stay in an agriturismo or possibly a B&B in or very close to Tropea. Does anyone have any recommendations/suggestions? We will of course have a rental car for our excursions and available/free parking would be an important consideration.

My family is from a seaside town in Calabria called Roccella Ionica (there is a Roccella in the north too; this distinguishes that one from this). It is located on the Ionic Sea, on "the ball of the foot." There is a resort there called the Kennedy Hotel. There is also a hotel in the center of town called Hotel Mediterraneo, which is where we stayed. Looking at Trip Advisor it looks like there is a new hotel there also. They have a jazz festival in September.

If the Aeolians are important, you might consider planning one night there. I fear that trying to do a Tropea-Aeolians day-trip, with two ferries being required in each direction, would mean a lot of transportation time.
