Life at Monaci
A Relais & Châteaux between Etna and the sea
This isn’t a hotel. It’s not just an estate. Monaci delle Terre Nere is an idea brought to life between lava and sea, between Mount Etna and sky. It’s a place where everything has been intentionally designed to inspire wonder.
Every detail has a story. Every space carries a vision — the bed you’ll sleep in, the wine you’ll taste, the dish you’ll savor. To experience Monaci is to let go of time as something to race against and rediscover it as a gift. It’s wandering aimlessly through the vineyards, tasting the voice of the land in every flavor and scent, and knowing — deeply — that what you’re living can’t be replicated anywhere else.
Because Monaci is like nowhere else. And here, you’ll never be just another guest.
Monaci delle Terre Nere is a place you feel before you see it. Born from one man’s dream, it became a way of living: the luxury of time, simplicity, and soul. A Relais of Charm where every stay is a personal journey — rooted in authenticity, surrounded by nature, infused with quiet luxury.

Every room is one of a kind — furnished with original pieces, contemporary works, and carefully chosen design. The 18th-century farmhouses are reborn through principles of bio-architecture, blending lava stone with modern comfort in a dialogue between past and present.
At Monaci, sustainability is a daily practice. Organic farming, solar energy, preserved biodiversity, and farm-to-table cuisine — every gesture is an act of love. The estate’s green soul is everywhere: from pre-phylloxera vineyards to the organic garden. Here, you’ll experience a kind of luxury that’s not only beautiful — but meaningful.
