Monaci delle Terre Nere
Zafferana Etnea, Italy
Monaci delle Terre Nere spreads its suites and villas across an estate on the slopes of Mount Etna. Trails pass vineyards, orchards and lava-stone terraces, while pools look towards the volcano and sea. Estate-grown ingredients give the dining a close connection to the landscape. The accommodation varies in character and pool arrangements, so compare locations as well as photographs. It is an appealing base for wine-country exploration, with enough space and atmosphere to justify quiet days at the property too.
