Nothing.

The location of Monaci is simply stunning. The villas are spread out providing space and tranquility. The grassy pool area with the stunning vista is so special. Finally the food is amazing as is the restaurant space, and we were lucky enough to have a private cooking class with the head chef and guided tour through the gardens / cellar. We look forward to returning in the future.

Aircon didn’t work that well, room got quite hot in the night. Excursion price list was very expensive, food at pool was good but again, not really anything available for less than €30. Not enough drinking water in the room, or at the pool.

Super friendly staff, great breakfast, one of the most stunning locations I have ever stayed in.

Not enough water in the room to drink

It’s the third time I’ve stayed there in the last four years or maybe more. This has to be the best time and I’m talking about the finer details all falling into place. My room wasn’t so much as the room it was more villa outside pool more of a plunge pool, but perfect for a couple of people. Incredible views of the vineyards a decent view of Mount Aetna, but most of all it’s the individuals that I see each time I’m there the food is amazing the selection of wine very impressive and overall if you want to go and hide away in the midst of organic wine production it is a very peaceful place to go. You can find nightlife there. There’s a wonderful bar and they make the most incredible the negroni - another bar situated in front of the swimming pool which quite frankly if you’re up early enough it is one of the greatest sunrises I’ve ever seen. It has a notoriously good sunrise person speaking. I don’t want the fuss and the high-end pampering that that isn’t genuine that you can find in other high-end establishments as far as I’m concerned though the setting the people the architect the simplicity and yet five star throughout you can’t go wrong one visit will bring you back enjoy yourselves I have tremendously - Max is not gonna spell spellcheck this or read it back again cause that way you know it’s definitely not ChatGPT ha ha

We loved everything!

This is a paradise. We enjoyed every single moment of our stay. The room was an experience itself ... the best sunrise in my life. The sound of silence, priceless. A large Wine Estate surrounded by threes and orchards with a majestic view over the sea. I will come back very soon for a longer stay. The staff was attentive, kind and professional. The best food I had in Sicily. Wonderful stay!

Dining options were limited. No lunch option when we were there. Dinner in the main house dining room was not special enough to justify the price. Took too long to check in, wanted to upgrade our room and even though the hotel was almost empty it took over an hour to do this. They should have upgraded us automatically like other hotels did. Modern and clean room design but some things like bedside tables and bath layout were not functional, this coming from an architect who appreciates good design.

The location and the vineyard grounds were beautiful. Sorry to be there when it wasnt warm enough to enjoy the pool or outside dining. Easy location to drive up for a day on Mt Etna. Rooms modern and clean. The restaurant "Il Casale di Sarro" was a 10 min drive away and the best pizza of the whole trip. Desert was also homemade and delicious. Hosts were so friendly and treated us to a local after dinner drink made from vegetables.

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.

Absolutely nothing.

The sense of complete peace settles your soul. You really feel the spiritual history of the site.

The only thing I didn’t like was having to leave!

This was a return trip which exceeded all expectations. The level of service, hospitality and fabulous cuisine just gets better! A wonderful stay, the beauty and tranquility of Monacci is a true tonic and the cocktails are out of this world!

The Staff, in every part of the property, were friendly helpful and fun. Blown away by the Villa and the grounds. Food and view at the restaurant was excellent.

We thought the cottage we had, although large, was expensive for what we got. We thought it a little grubby and tired.

The position, the way the cottages were dotted about the vineyard, the bar and restaurant and the staff in them

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.

I wish I could stay longer!

One of my favourite places in Sicily! Excellent rooms with lovely views, great organic breakfast and very friendly staff! Especially appreciated their experiences. Can't wait to come back!

Very expensive for cocktail and a cooked breakfast was way way too expensive. For the very high cost to stay there , should you pay more for avocado? no !

Unusual and very nice location

Stayed in August 2024

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.

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.

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 ! :)

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.
