Villas on the Aeolian Islands

Unique beauty, fascinating geophysical characteristics, including a pair of active volcanos, a wealth of history, myriad Greek myths, wonderful sea swimming, great beaches, stunning views, inspiring hikes, mouthwatering cuisine and luscious wines: despite all this, the Aeolian Islands remain fairly unknown outside of Italy and surprisingly unspoiled outside the peak weeks of August.
