Pietro was a fantastic host: easy to communicate with, very helpful and attentive. (He left some yummy goodies in the fridge for us). The apartment has been recently renovated. It is stylish, very spacious and extremely clean. The beds are very comfortable. After tons of sightseeing and a trek up Mt. Etna, we were happy to get a good nights rest. Sat and Sun was some noise from the bar across the street, but it didn't really bother us. We slept mostly through it. Pietro thoughtfully provided ear-plugs, which we didn't need. The place is super centrally located (with parking!). Sights, markets, restaurants, cafes ... everything in close vicinity. We had a wonderful time and would absolutely stay at Palazzo Scammacca again.
