Each room retains original wood-beamed ceilings or exposed stone walls, and comes with a balcony or patio that looks out onto the garden, the Ionian Sea, or Mount Etna. Guests booking a private lodge have access to a swimming pool for exclusive use.
Dining & Wine
The Locanda Nerello restaurant serves lunch and dinner using vegetables and herbs picked from the hotel's own gardens, along with eggs from the 150 chickens on site. The on-site wine cellar offers estate-produced wines and local specialties, with tastings led by a knowledgeable sommelier. At the Convivium bar, the artisan mixologist crafts cocktails from botanicals grown on the property, and the bar also features live music on select evenings.
Wellness & Activities
Monaci delle Terre Nere offers a range of spa services including couples massage, full body massage, and yoga classes with a personal trainer.

The infinity pool overlooks the coastline and provides sun loungers and umbrellas for relaxation.
Family-Friendly
Children have a dedicated playground and outdoor play equipment, plus board games and puzzle rentals, while parents can arrange babysitting or childcare services. Kid-friendly buffet options and special diet menus are available at the restaurant, and young ones can participate in cooking classes that include gathering eggs from the chicken coop.
