Gwendalina's palazzo is quite amazing - the rooms are huge, the ceilings unreachable and beautiful, the location is fantastic and the views perfect - for the sight of Etna, or just watching street life outside the market in one direction, or on the piazza to the other side.

We were excited about going to the markets, and we weren't disappointed - so many tasty things!
Taking them home to cook, was a little difficult though: sadly the kitchen is an afterthought. Everything functions, but in such a tiny space that it makes cooking for two as much as we wanted to attempt, never mind washing up.

The bathroom/laundry, too, was crowded out by the splendour and scale of the main rooms - it simply has nowhere to be, and could exist in any small apartment anywhere.

Precy and Gwendolina were very kind and helpful and answered our questions and requests instantly.
