MONACI DELLE TERRE NERE
The first Luxury Eco-Bio Resort in Sicily, on the slopes of Mount Etna

Some places aren’t just visited — they’re lived. Monaci delle Terre Nere is one of those rare places: a Relais & Châteaux retreat nestled on the slopes of Mount Etna, where true luxury isn’t flaunted — it’s felt. A soulful place, designed to welcome, inspire, and stir emotion. More than an eco-luxury resort, Monaci is a way of life — an immersive journey into sustainable beauty and authentic indulgence.



There’s no need to look elsewhere — everything you’re seeking is already around you. From cocktail masterclasses using herbs from the garden to scenic bike rides, from gathering fresh eggs to soaring above the vineyard in a private helicopter — every moment reflects the soul of Monaci: real, original, and one-of-a-kind.
There are no itineraries to follow — just emotions waiting to be lived.


Wellbeing at Monaci delle Terre Nere is a quiet ritual that begins with a breath and unfolds by tuning into your own rhythm.
Between Etna’s whisper and the Mediterranean breeze, every touch is renewing: a massage among the vines, yoga beneath the trees, nourishing food that’s truly alive. Here, nature isn’t a backdrop — it’s your guide, your refuge, your medicine.
An invitation to rediscover yourself, slowly.


At Monaci, every ingredient tells a story, every dish is a revelation, and every taste holds a surprise. With organic ingredients straight from our gardens and age-old traditions reimagined at the table, our cuisine is a sensorial journey that will linger long after the last bite.

Monaci is one of the few true luxury eco-resorts where everything — truly everything — comes from within.
The ancient farmhouses, restored through sustainable architecture and transformed into refined accommodations with private pools, coexist with a fully working organic farm. Wine, olive oil, fruit, vegetables, and fresh eggs are produced daily, all guided by sustainable hospitality and the principles of the Slow Food movement.




There are places that turn moments into forever. With Etna as your backdrop and panoramic terraces that open toward the sea, Monaci delle Terre Nere is the ultimate destination for luxury weddings and one-of-a-kind events.
For those who want to celebrate love, milestones, or stories that matter — not just another event, but a memory that lasts a lifetime.
