This place is absolutely stunning! From the setting, underneath Mount Etna, to the place itself which is immersed in vineyards and olive trees! The staff is very professional and ready to meet any of our needs. The food was great and all produced at Monaci. The villa we stayed was beautiful with amazing views, an infinity pool, very private and with a very original feature, it was built around some volcanic rock! And if that wasn’t enough, I was amazed to learn that Stanley Tucci, the actor I adore, stayed in the same villa!!! I highly recommend this place for an unforgettable experience.

My stay at Monaci delle Terre Nere was truly exceptional. This is a paradise on the slopes of Etna amidst the lush Sicilian countryside, the property exuded tranquillity and charm. I can't say enough about attentive service, gourmet meals sourced from their own organic garden, exceptional collection of art, fantastic wine tasting and cooking class.... and the sleep. i travel around the world a lot - this is one of THE best places to sleep and simply enjoy time at the hotel. and time here is sweet and slow, just like local honey.
the only thing that could have been better is to stay longer. Monaci delle Terre Nere is a destination on its own that deserves at least a few days of stay.

Everything! It was excellent! The hotel, the staff, the club sandwich - :) - the pool, the view.. I mean.. It was amazing! Everyone so nice, so oriented to the customer.. I have no words for how well treated we were.
I would not say I did not like, but the food at the restaurant it was not for me.. But I am sure it was only because I tend to like simpler food. I loved their club sandwich at the pool bar, the salad at the pool bar, the drinks at the pool bar, everything at lunch was perfect! For dinner, fine dinning, it is not for me ! :)

our room was great private & large , gardens are fabulous, the staff were all excellent and went out of their way to make our stay a very happy time. they are all a credit and example of excellent service
the breakfast overall was very poor in terms of breadth and quality. the bakery was dreadful the bread/ bakery needs to improve. The rooms need to be maintained to a higher standard. looking a bit shabby chic on close inspection. sun bed mattress dirty and hard. small details but for the price which is high should be easily rectified but again the staff made up for these shortcomings to make our stay memorable.

Being on the property is relaxing and peaceful. The staff is incredibly kind and attentive. Our villa felt private and romantic. One of the highlights was the morning breakfast spread — a beautiful selection of local fruits, vegetables, cheeses, meats, eggs, jams, honey, juices and a smoothies. They also offer fresh baked bread, pastries, and cakes. Meals at the restaurant are simple with preparations that feature the quality of the fresh, local ingredients. We also took a pasta-making class, taught by the chef, which included a visit to the hen house to collect fresh eggs. We visited in early May, the weather was cold and rainy, and the property was still beautiful. You can tell it would be an absolute paradise in good weather.
Getting around the property requires calling for staff to pick you up in a golf cart, and the cobblestone roads are quite bumpy.

The excursions and activities were great. Making pasta, wine tasting and cocktail making was fantastic. Much more informative than others ee have done. Trip to Etna was very good and again very informative. Breakfast was amazingly good with plenty of fresh produce...more than anywhere else we stayed. Overall the place is very rustic...using natural elements to make stairs, pathways, etc.
The bed and lounge chairs were uncomfortable for us 60+ year Olds. Our room a/c broke but the staff took care of it right away.

The location is amazing, on the skirts of Mt. Etna, and all the facilities, from the pool to the restaurant in the old building are amazing. We were attended to in the friendliest way by the entire staff, including a private traditional Sicilian pasta making lesson; they were all great. The view is amazing, the food was outstanding, overall an unforgettable experience in all senses.

The property was magical. It is absolutely stunning (at least what we saw of it) and restored in the best way possible. We loved the gardens, the property’s authentic restoration with designer finishes and flare and the comfortable appointments.
The one issue we had was lack of staff. The staff there was very nice, but often inefficient and quick to say they will “call someone”, yet no one would show up to help.
