GORGEOUS VIEWS ACROSS THE MEDITERRANEAN
Nestled in the Sicilian countryside with gorgeous views across the Mediterranean, Monaci Delle Terre Nere is a stylish, country house estate on the slopes of Mount Etna, Europe’s largest active volcano.
Centred on a 19th-century manor house, Monaci Delle Terre Nere proudly ranks amongst the three Eco-Bio certified hotels in Sicily. From the chemical-free cleaning products – all made on site – to the organic shower gel and charging points for electric cars, the property pays the utmost respect to its surrounding environment. Seasonal, farm-to-table cuisine is at the heart of the hotel’s restaurant, Locanda Nerello. Meals are carefully prepared using produce collected from the on-site organic farm as well as local suppliers, and can be enjoyed on the terrace or in the cosy dining room.
