Monaci Delle Terre Nere: volcanic chic on the Slopes of Mount Etna

Monaci Delle Terre Nere is a little bit baroque, a little bit rough-edged in classic Sicilian style, with a patina of the exquisitely weathered stone.

Where there’s weathered stone, of course, there ought to be some plush comforts to balance, and these rooms and suites lack for nothing when it comes to physical luxury. And the hotel’s interiors enchant with a contemporary mélange, weaving some subtle modern threads into its eclectic tapestry.

All accommodation is superbly comfortable and independent from the main Villa. The suites offer absolute privacy and intimacy in an ambience of modern luxury, enveloped in the breath-taking landscapes of Etna, between the vineyards and the sea.

Locanda Nerello, the restaurant, is an impressive one, with a lovely terrace dining room, serving mostly organic fare grown by the estate’s farm. It’s no wonder — the volcanic soil is especially fertile, and the Monaci is steadfastly devoted to the enjoyment of the local geography.
