Zafferana Etnea, Italy

Monaci delle Terre Nere

A wine estate on the black soil of Etna, where the rooms are cut into the lava stone.

Our read

What stood out was a bedroom cut into black stone and opening onto the trees, a cellar of the estate bottles, and a pool at sunset with the sea beyond the olives. They call it 25 hectares of vines, orchards, and lava terraces.

The place itself

Monaci delle Terre Nere is at Via Monaci 82, 95019 Zafferana Etnea, in Sicily. The site prints that address and the desk at +39 095 708 3638, with a second line at +39 338 225 7939. Book on monacidelleterrenere.it. They describe a 25-hectare estate of vineyards, orchards, and lava stone terraces, with suites and villas, and solar-heated pools looking toward Etna and the sea. The photographs are the farm from above, terraces of vines and a pool beside a stone house, a bedroom cut into black lava with the trees outside the door, a pool at sunset with the sea beyond the olives, a cellar of bottles, the vines from the edge of the water, and a room with a long textile above the bed. Guido Coffa writes that one day, at the foot of Etna, his heart stopped wandering. Their own film is on the site. The company they name on the privacy page is Alloro, of Guido Alessandro Coffa, at the same address. A shuttle to Taormina is the service they describe.
