Wandering in La Plata, I like a great house (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

palatial

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'like a great house' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'wandering in la plata i' is the wordplay.
'wandering in' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'la'+'plata'+'i'='laplatai'
'laplatai' anagrammed gives 'PALATIAL'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for palatial that I've seen before include "Huge, luxurious (rooms)" , "Luxurious - magnificent" , "House fit for a king" , "Sumptuous and spacious" , "(Of building) spacious and grand" .)
