Stylish and sustainable, Monaci delle Terre Nere is a luxury hotel and countryside retreat situated on the slopes of Mount Etna, with views over the Mediterranean sea. With an 18th century villa at its heart, the eco-friendly estate has 27 elegantly-designed rooms, suites and villas in renovated farm buildings, scattered among 60 acres of fruit orchards, terraced vineyards and gardens. With two restaurants: Locanda Nerello serving creative cuisine, and a poolside restaurant which is perfect for casual dining, the hotel champions slow food and many of the ingredients served are grown on the farm or are sourced from zero-km producers. Charming Convivium Bar serves imaginative Sicilian cocktails and the extensive grounds and scenic pool offers plenty of natural beauty. The expert hotel team can arrange Sicilian cooking classes with the Chef, Etna wine tastings guided by the head sommelier, horseriding, yoga, private boat trips and even helicopter tours from the estate's own helipad, to explore the volcano and coastline. Monaci delle Terre Nere is a peaceful base to explore Etna, Taormina, Catania and the beautiful eastern coast of Sicily, and is ideal for couples, families and friends.

Monaci delle terre nere got my interest after positive reviews on leading life style magazines. The rooms are stylish and comfortable and the estate is a pleasent spot on the Etna Slopes. The food experience in the Estate was very disappointing, in particular my guests having heard nice feedback from their friends, leading journalist that visited the estate before, feel so disheartened. First of all, we ordered pasta as being local and organic, however the pasta that arrived was Barilla or some other commercial pasta branda. I pointed out to the restaurant manager, at first she was surprised we noticed (yes my guests are food experts), afterwards she politely excused us that it was mistake from the chef. However, few minutes later, they serve the same paste to other guests. This means a lack of integrity to the guests. I felt very bad about this restaurant, one can promote environmentally friendly , organic cuisine , if they lie on the ingredients they use. The restaurant manager told us that they make their own tomato souce at the estate, however there are piles of tomato souce from a sicilian brand. The wineyard of the estate seems abandoned. Overall , even if the estate is well refurbished, i did not like the fact that the staff were lieng. The philosophy of the estate needs to be audited by relais chauteaux. Based on my experience and the perception of the ingredients, they were no organic at all. I hope this interview will help senior management in auditing their practice for future reference.…

Absolutely lovely place to finish off our 10 days in Sicily - pricey but worth it! Already planning our return, to stay a bit longer next time. Service and staff brilliant, beautiful quiet position, rooms well-designed with all amenities. Beware, it will ruin other hotels for you!

The location on the edge of Etna is charming; rural and peaceful. The Estate Room category room was well equipped, comfortable, stylish and offered good levels of privacy. The swimming pool area is very pleasant. Very relaxing. Great barman and cocktail menu. The restaurant was a little bit hit and miss; some of the courses were stunning (eg spaghetti), others just okay (and not cheap). We found sticking to starters and first courses was the way ahead as the main courses we had did miss the mark. The "slow" food concept was however sometimes also applied (unintentionally) to the service, especially on a day when breakfast was inside due to bad weather. Service at breakfast and dinner does need a little bit of focus from management. However, the staff are charming and if you take the view that you are holiday so time is not of the essence, it should not ruin the experience. The hotel's own wines are excellent and highly recommended. Excellent reception staff, contactable by WhatsApp. Fixed an excellent wine tasting and lunch at a local vineyard.…

Just returned from a 4 night stay at the Monaci - a tranquil and relaxing 4 days. The Hotel is set in a remote area to ensure that you are away from traffic and pollution . Hotel room was impeccably clean and overlooking vineyards. Great setting for couples and families . All the team is amazing - everyone is ready to assist you in the best way possible. Never felt uneasy about sanitary conditions. Definitely not crowded enough to keep to social distancing :) all staff wore masks at all times and if was apparent that hygiene was on top of their priority list! Food: preferred lunch rather than dinner simply due to the portion size - I’m not a huge eater though I’d require bigger portion sizes :) Lunch was amazing though - had the best salad . Cheers to all the team, especially Alessandro the Barman ! Keep it up ! …
