1 week in one place in Sicily - recommendations?

We will be in Sicily for 3 weeks this summer, and would like to spend one of those weeks in a single location (preferably renting a house with a pool) near the beach. Ideally it would be in a peaceful place, near a small town, with interesting day trips if we're so inclined, but also spend days doing nothing whatsoever :)

We're also open to little islands off the coast, or even inland if something bucolic is ideal, for this part of the trip! One past travels we have done this outside Gordes in Provence, and outside Kardamyli in Greece.

Any recommendations welcome :)

Some might recommend Cefalu. The island of Lipari is pretty popular. Salina is too small and not much happening there.

Take a look at neverendingvoyage.com/western-sicily-highlights/ Both Mondello and San Vito Lo Capo have great beaches. Western Sicily, in my view, is underrated. There are a number of places you can set up camp and day trip if you want a little excitement.
