Lovely resort on the slopes of Mount Etna
Pros:

Lovely place on Mount Etna, we really enjoyed our stay. The breakfast, room facilities, Convivium Bar and the resort in general were superb. We greatly appreciated immersion in Etna autumn nature and all the lovely food from their own farm. There are also plenty of experiences you can do on site: wine tasting and cocktail masterclass were particularly great.

Cons:

Nothing at all.

A memorable stay
Pros:

Beautiful location near mount Etna among wine yards and olive trees

We were upgraded to a pool villa and enjoyed every single moment there.

The food at the restaurant was locally sourced and so delicious.

We would definitely come back:)

Stunning hotel, with amazing wines, food and people.
Pros:

Stunning location with the most amazing views. The rooms are all unique and set amongst stunning grounds. Photos don’t do the property justice. The staff were all incredible and so friendly and welcoming and made our stay with our 8 month old daughter an absolute delight.

Cons:

Nothing. It’s paradise. Expensive but worth it! Maybe the 35 euro delivery fee on room service would be my only complaint particularly as when you have a baby and don’t want to leave them in the rooms which are quite far from the restaurant.

Un angolo di paradiso. Monaci delle Terre Nere è molto più di un hotel, è un'esperienza.

Tolle Aussicht und tolles Frühstück
Pros:

Das Monaci delle Terre Nere ist ein tolles Hotel mit einer Hammeraussicht . Uns hat gefallen, dass es nachhaltig geführt wird und die Lebensmittel zu einem grossen Teil in Bioqualität auf dem eigenen Grundstück produziert werden. Unser Zimmer war schön mit sehr bequemen Betten und verfügte über eine kleine Gartenterrasse. Leider hat es bei unserem Aufenthalt geregnet, weshalb wir diese nicht benutzen konnten. Was uns erstaunt hat, war dass es im Zimmer keinen Fernseher gab. Für uns kein Problem, da wir einen Laptop dabei hatten.
Ganz besonders zu erwähnen sind Sebastian und die Frühstückscrew. Sie haben sich wirklich viel Mühe gegeben, und haben so das Frühstück zu einer ganz besonderen Mahlzeit gemacht. Merci beaucoup!
Das Abendessen im Restaurant war ausgezeichnet.

Cons:

Wir hätten uns einen besseren Service beim Abendessen gewünscht. Es ging sehr lange, bis wir bedient wurden. Ausserdem wurden die Champagner-Gläser vom Aperitif bis zum Ende der Mahlzeit nicht abgeräumt und die in Stoff eingefasste Menukarte hatte Flecken. Auch hätten wir es nett gefunden, wenn zum Apertif eine Kleinigkeit zu Knabbern dabei gewesen wäre, oder zumindest etwas Brot. Es sind zwar nur Kleinigkeiten, aber in einem 5-Sterne Michelin-Restaurant in dieser Preisklasse unserer Meinung nach wichtig

Molto più di un soggiorno: un'esperienza sensoriale indimenticabile
Pros:

Un’oasi di bellezza pura e fascino senza tempo alle pendici dell'Etna.

​Questo boutique hotel ed eco-resort a Zafferana Etnea è semplicemente straordinario, un luogo dove la natura vulcanica incontra un lusso autentico, discreto e profondamente legato al territorio.

​Ecco cosa rende un soggiorno a Monaci delle Terre Nere un'esperienza indimenticabile:

L'Atmosfera e la Location: Immerso in una tenuta biologica di oltre 25 ettari, tra vigneti, uliveti e frutteti, il resort offre una vista mozzafiato che spazia dalle vette fumanti dell'Etna fino all'azzurro del Mare Ionio.

Sostenibilità ed Anima Eco-Friendly: Non si tratta solo di bellezza visiva, ma di una vera e propria filosofia di vita.

L'Esperienza Enogastronomica: Il ristorante è un trionfo di sapori autentici. La cucina propone piatti preparati con ingredienti a "metro zero", coltivati direttamente negli orti della tenuta o provenienti da piccoli produttori locali. Nota d'eccellenza per i vini: la tenuta produce propri vini naturali e biologici Etna DOC di altissimo livello.

Cons:

​Dover fare le valigie e tornare a casa. Sarei rimasta a vivere lì per sempre!
