excellent stay, would definitely come back
Pros:

property is fabulous, service was impeccable and very friendly. Restaurant was amazing for dinner, although breakfast was just ok. Wish we had more time to explore the property and do some activities (wine tasting, horse back riding, etc.)
Very pleased, would love to be back.

Cons:

The hotel is about 20-30 min by car from the city, so the driving back and forth in traffic was about annoying. If you want to mainly explore the city, this is probably not the place, but if you want to unwind and relax-definitely recommend it!

Do not think twice about staying here. Just book it and enjoy a truly magical experience.
Pros:

This was our favorite property during our 3 weeks trip. Simply stunning property with truly an amazing staff. We were generously upgraded at check-in. Dinner in the restaurant was 5 stars, and Roberto was fun to share wine knowledge with us. We were in a Villa, which was one of the most beautiful rooms Ive ever stayed in.

Cons:

Nothing

A charming estate in a beautiful setting, with kind staff and a relaxed atmosphere.
Pros:

The estate is absolutely stunning_ a beautiful and spacious setting in a perfect location. The staff were warm and attentive, and both the restaurant and breakfast were very enjoyable.

Cons:

Some of the in-room facilities could be improved. The hot tub wasn’t the easiest to use, was a little noisy, and didn’t heat up quite enough. The “private” pool is actually shared between three rooms – though still spacious, very pleasant, and large enough for proper laps. (If you’re expecting a pool entirely to yourself, it’s worth double-checking before booking.)

An unforgettable Sicilian escape
Pros:

Monaci delle Terre Nere is the kind of place you remember long after you’ve left. Set on the slopes of Etna, the estate blends organic farming, refined design, and heartfelt Sicilian hospitality. Our room was spacious and serene, with lava-stone details, crisp linens, and views over citrus groves and the sea. Breakfast was outstanding—seasonal fruit, homemade cakes, local cheeses and honey—everything tasted genuinely fresh. Dinner at the on-site restaurant was a highlight: elegant but not fussy, with a superb Sicilian wine selection and staff who guided us perfectly. Throughout our stay, the team went out of their way to help with tastings and day trips; nothing felt scripted, just warm and effortless. The grounds are expansive and beautifully kept, perfect for slow morning walks or sunset cocktails. If you’re looking for a place that captures the essence of Etna—nature, flavor, and quiet luxury—this is it. We left rested, inspired, and already planning our return.

Cons:

Nothing !! Everything was just perfect

Peaceful and beautiful, with outstanding service
Pros:

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.

Cons:

Nothing.
