Ida's place is situated off one of the main streets of Palazzolo, and car access is via a series of narrow cobbled lanes, characteristic of many Italian towns. This makes for an interesting arrival! The property seems to be a converted byre or similar, and is very dark inside - electric light is needed at all times times. Initially poorly equipped, Ida provided an outdoor table and chairs, and an Italian coffee pot on my second day, and I also suggested to Ida that at least one cooking utensil (pot or pan) would be useful. On my second morning, Ida took me for a very nice breakfast, and took the trouble to show me round parts of Palazzolo, and we parted on good terms
