Description Jupiter's Garden: Pettineo

Nestled deep in the heart of the Sicilian countryside, this home is the perfect setting for your next rural escape. The drive up to the property isn’t for the faint of heart – inexperienced drivers might prefer to hitch a ride with the housekeeper – but the views and surrounding greenery are totally worth it. Ancient olive trees provide respite from the sun, while the private infinity pool is ideal for cooling off in the afternoon. And in the unlikely event that you fancy a change of scenery, you’re just a fifteen-minute drive from Lampare Beach, a quiet stretch of coastline that has been awarded a coveted Blue Flag.
