From the beautiful honey-hued Baroque towns of the south east to the mountain villages of the Madonie mountains in the north, there\u2019s an abundance of authentic villages to explore throughout Sicily. Read on to <strong>discover some of our favourites, all of which feature in the collection of Italy\u2019s most beautiful villages<\/strong> (\u2018I Borghi Pi\u00f9 Belli d\u2019Italia\u2019).<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Mountain villages in the Madonie<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We still can\u2019t agree on which is the prettiest village in the Madonie! Polizzi Generosa, Isnello and Gangi are firm favourites and Castelbuono, although slightly larger, also very charming. In 2018, Petralia Soprana was chosen as \u2018il borgo pi\u00f9 bello d\u2019Italia\u2019. Standing higher than any other village in the Madonie mountain range, the atmospheric stone village still boasts an unchanged historic centre, packed with monuments and churches. On summer evenings, the sound of music drifts from open-air concerts.<\/p>\n<p>Where to stay: Villa Olmo is a traditional villa (sleeps 6 or 12), with a superb pool and magnificent rural setting, a short drive from the Madonie mountains.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2506\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2506\" style=\"width: 966px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/en\/castel-di-lucio\/villas-in-sicily\/villa-olmo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2506 noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2506 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/luxury-villa-in-sicily.jpg\" alt=\"Villa Olmo, Nebordi Mountains\" width=\"966\" height=\"644\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/luxury-villa-in-sicily.jpg 966w, https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/luxury-villa-in-sicily-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/luxury-villa-in-sicily-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 966px) 100vw, 966px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2506\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Villa Olmo, Nebordi Mountains<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><strong>Castles and churches in the Nebrodi <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Best known for its landscapes and mouth-watering local gastronomy, the Nebrodi National Park is a good option if you want to get right off the tourist trail.

Highlights of the town include the churches of Sant\u2019Antonio, San Pietro and San Marco and the ruins of the Byzantine structure that is referred to locally as Castidduzzu (Castelluccio). \u00a0The beautiful old style Basilica Madonna della Catena and the Lauria Castle, both slightly removed from the town centre, are also well worth a visit.<\/p>\n<p>Where to stay: <a title=\"large villa in sicily Case dell'Etna\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/en\/sant-alfio\/villas-in-sicily\/le-case-dell-etna\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Le Case dell\u2019Etna<\/strong><\/a> is a collection of three villas and two pools, close to the village of Sant\u2019Alfio.
