The Palazzo Mirto is hidden away just off Piazza Marina - you need to look carefully to find it. We went there late in the afternoon and only saw two other visitors. Unfortunately, there was no guide and the signs were only in Italian - since our Italian is limited, this meant that we had only minimal information about what... More

Never did manage to see this as despite being listed in our guide book as open daily it was, along with a number of other places we had hoped to see, closed on Sunday afternoon and Monday.

The only drawback was that one is not allowed to take photos inside. This however meant I spent my time admiring the many rooms and their contents with no distractions.

We were accompanied by an attendant over two floors of a richly furnished aristocratic palace which just looked as though it had been lived... More
