We have spent one month in Pettineo and it was great choice. The village is nice with local feeling and about 10 minutes drive to coast and nearest beach. The apartment has traditional style and features everything you need including A/C, mosquito nets on several windows, comfortable beds and a lot of space in large living room. There is garden with dining table where it is nice to eat or enjoy coffee. And as a bonus you can pick plums or lemons directly from the tree! We did several trips to nearby sights and beaches as well as longer day trips to south coast, Palermo, Erice, Trapani and Bronte near Etna. Overall it was great stay! And one more tip - Elisabetta's family is producing own organic olive oil from trees right near Pettineo. You can buy them for fair price. On the top they brought us as a gift fresh vegetables and grapes picked in their garden. What else do you need for perfect family vacation in Sicily? Recommended!
