Perched on the edge of a Sicilian fishing village near Acireale, this eight-bedroom villa is built for groups who want space without losing each other entirely – two independent units, each with its own kitchen and living room with a working fireplace, that share a pool ringed by ancient olive trees and a wellness area with sauna, Turkish bath, and sea views. Evenings tend to gravitate toward the terrace, where the light drops slowly over open water, or the pergola for long alfresco dinners. Etna, Taormina, and the Alcantara Gorges are all within easy reach when you're ready to explore.
