Il Relais Monaci delle Terre Nere è una oasi di pace all’interno di un parco privato di 25 ettari dove la natura è incontaminata e la vegetazione meravigliosa. La struttura combina il lusso a quello che è oggi il bene più prezioso: la totale privacy e serenità, oltre che sicurezza. La zona di accoglienza centrale rappresenta il cuore della struttura dove c’è la reception di accoglienza, la zona bar (Convivium) davvero incantevole e una boutique, oltre al ristorante “locanda Nerello”. In questo relais si possono trovare delle splendide ville con piscine private per godere di una vera esperienza di lusso ma all’interno di un contesto incredibilmente selezionato. Si possono anche scegliere delle suite o delle signature room a seconda dei gusti. La ristorazione e la Wine Experience sono al centro di una esperienza enogastronomia irripetibile. Lo chef ha appena ricevuto l’onorificenza della stella Michelin e la selezione attenta e pregiata di vini è assicurata da una cantina che è stata ricavata all’interno di una antica cisterna. I proprietari della struttura Federico e Guido ci hanno accolto come solo due attenti e gentili padroni di casa sanno fare, e la direttrice Giovanna è stata incredibilmente attenta e disponibile nel rendere la nostra esperienza unica e irripetibile con un servizio attendo, cortese e sempre riservato con servizi tailor made. Tutte le pietanze preparate dallo chef hanno come elemento centrale la materia prima, prodotta nella maggior parte dei casi proprio all’interno della struttura grazie ad una coltivazione biologica e a kilometro zero. E’ un luogo magico, dove natura e lusso si mixano in modo esemplare, e dove la vacanza si può trasformare in un sogno. Guardare fuori e avere al contempo la vista sul vulcano Etna e sul mare è un privilegio che solo pochissime strutture possono offrire. Non è necessario chiudere gli occhi per sognare: presso Monaci delle Terre Nere si può sognare tranquillamente ad occhi aperti. Ci torneremo sicuramente per poter godere ancora di questo angolo di paradiso che non ha eguali in Sicilia (e non solo). Relais Monaci delle Terre Nere is a haven of tranquility nestled within a 25-hectare private park, where nature remains pristine and the vegetation is simply breathtaking. This establishment combines luxury with today’s most coveted assets: total privacy, serenity, and security. The central welcome area serves as the heart of the property, featuring a charming reception, the enchanting Convivium bar area, a boutique, and the exquisite "Locanda Nerello" restaurant. At this relais, guests can indulge in luxurious villas with private pools, offering a true luxury experience in an incredibly exclusive setting. Additionally, one can choose from a range of suites or signature rooms to suit personal preferences. The dining and Wine Experience are at the core of an unparalleled gastronomic journey. The chef, recently honored with a Michelin star, ensures that the cuisine is complemented by an exquisite sel

A Monaci ogni momento è prezioso: sin dall’arrivo ti senti coccolato ed ascoltato da ogni persona dello staff. Ogni mia richiesta è stata presa in carico per essere rapidamente ascoltata. Incantevole passeggiare tra i vigneti e girare a piedi la tenuta tra i suoni della natura. Posto perfetto sia per gli incontri di lavoro che ho avuto che per stare con la famiglia. Grande assortimento in colazione con prodotti di altissima qualità. Molto ricercati i sapori del ristorante (da provare assolutamente). La villa assegnata era magnifica e dotata di spazi riservati in pieno contatto con la natura. Tornerò presto!

We stayed for three nights in May 2024. We were looking forward to our stay as the travel agent said this was a luxury place. The prices were exceptionally high but we didn’t mind because we thought we’d have a great experience. Boy, were we wrong!! The rooms were mediocre at best. The bed was rock hard, the linens sub standard, and the towels were thin and scratchy. There was nothing to do at the resort. There were no activities other than the pool, unless you wanted to be price-gouged for a massage. Nothing was included, and the mini bar was overpriced. There was “hand picked fruit” in the room which was never changed or replenished and it was rotting by the third day. We ate at the restaurant one night and it was the worst experience we ever had. The food was terrible and portions were extremely tiny. Quality was bad. The courses were not staggered and not served correctly. It felt like they were throwing food at us. We have dined at many Michelin star restaurants and believe me, this restaurant does not come close to that. We decided to eat elsewhere the remaining nights and the Monaci staff discouraged us saying there was no where else to eat. This was untrue. There were several pleasant establishments in nearby towns. We arranged our own cab for 50 Euros (Monaci wanted to charge us 160 Euros for the same trip). My advice is to avoid staying here as it was an extremely unpleasant experience.

We knew this hotel was on the pricier side, and we were looking forward to it. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed. Our room was large, but not luxurious. We had one dinner there and it was extremely uncomfortable and very overpriced. The entrées came one at a time and the fish portion was very small served on a bed of lentils. There was very little to do during the day. We tried badmitten, but it was a $10 Walmart set. Any transportation the concierge set up was at least double the going rate. They wanted €160 for a round-trip to a town two miles away. We obviously will not go back.

Definitely pluses and minuses for this place. Our suite was spectacular. The property is appealing for its vineyards, view of Mt Etna and rolling vistas. The breakfast buffet was great with friendly staff and panoramic views. The dinner was exceptionally bad — overpriced, tasteless and minuscule portions. The staff made us feel uncomfortable. They brought the white and red wine out with a long long lag in between even when we requested it. The sommelier gave way too info in a difficult to understand accent. Other entrees were staggered so none of us were eating at the same time. If you go definitely take a cab to Zafferana and eat at one of the local choices.

Although the hotel prices were high, our first impression when entering the room was very poor. There were very ordinary amenities like in cheap hotels. Although the room was large there was only one metal chair. Hotel management can easily place armchair or sofas. The towels were very old and had lost their whiteness from being washed. Breakfast was moderate , but the hotel management, who said their hotel was slow food, served all breakfast food in plastic containers. In Sicily, which is a ceramic region, simple ceramic pots, plates, etc. had to be used. In summary, I think the room prices are still too expensive if they think they are just a best country hotel at Etna. I think they should upgrade their service concept.items and materials qualities for the high price on every item on the invoice.

The surroundings and nature are gorgeous. It is wonderful to see the vegetation, plants and flowers. We enjoyed the proprietary wine, dinner and breakfast. The villa with the private pool was beautiful and clean and had the most amazing view. What was disappointing was that on two different days there were events - one was a wedding and the second was a local village 'festa' or something affiliated with a local mayor which meant that guests could not use the common swimming pool and area. Paying prices like these I would not expect to be restricted in usage of an important amenity like a swimming pool and the patio and outdoor bar and this also included all the time before the events for the preparation. At the very least a discount or advance notice (before arrival) that hotel guests would not be able to use the one common swimming pool and area should have been given. In addition, it was a shame when despite my multiple messages in advance about my friend's birthday, the young waiter after dinner merely walked up to us and casually handed us two unlit birthday candles. No fanfare, no lit candles to make a wish, nothing special. So the service by some of the staff was not at the standard of a five star or luxury property. The hotel would not heat our swimming pool even though one of the staffers told me that it 'could' be heated as in, the heating was functioning but the hotel chose not to. That was another disappointment. All of these disappointments are not expected when paying the expensive rates that Monaci delle Terre Nere is charging. In short, beautiful property but manage your expectations regarding service and try to ensure in advance that there is no sort of 'event' taking place during your stay.

Eine tolle Location, und ein sehr professionelles Team. Das Essen im Restaurant ist außergewöhnlich gut, die Bar hat keine Wünsche offen gelassen. Das Frühstück im Freien war ebenso großartig. Ich habe keinen Mangel zu erwähnen. Wir habe uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt, Bravo!
