The Hotel
Monaci delle Terre Nere is a luxurious Sicilian retreat perched on Mount Etna’s slopes, embraced by a 62-acre estate featuring organic farms and terraced vineyards with Mediterranean Sea views. A member of the prestigious Relais & Chateaux group since 2019, this haven, curated over a decade by founder Guido Coffa, offers 24 Pool Villas, Suites, Signature rooms, Locanda Nerello restaurant, Convivium Bar, Pool Restaurant, and l’Orto dei Monaci private room. Combining traditional Sicilian architecture with contemporary design, the rooms boast original elements like oak-beamed ceilings and stone walls. Ancient wine presses and painted frescoes coexist with artwork by Olivier Mourao, Italian furnishings, antiques, and reclaimed pieces. Ideal for couples, friends, and families, the retreat presents Etna wines and on-site grown ingredients in its cuisine. Visitors can explore scenic pools, herb gardens, and pathways, engage in Sicilian cookery or wine-tasting classes, and bask in the beauty of this Sicilian gem throughout the year.
