Autentico Hotels enthusiastically announces a new and important milestone: Monaci delle Terre Nere officially enters the collection as its first property in Sicily.
Autentico has 23 luxury hotels in Italy
With this new entry, the collection's portfolio reaches 23 luxury hotels throughout Italy, a number that confirms the brand's constant growth and its commitment to enhancing the excellence of independent hospitality. Located at the foot of Mount Etna, on a 25 hectare estate of vineyards and citrus groves, Monaci delle Terre Nere perfectly represents the values that distinguish Autentico Hotels: identity, territory and sustainability. An ancient 18th-century monastery now transformed into a charming relais, it is an example of natural and discreet luxury, a place of silence, harmony and authenticity.
An ancient monastery becomes a resort
At the entrance lava stone paths accompany the guest into a world of intense colours, citrus scents and breathtaking views of the volcano. The ancient monks' dwellings, restored with the utmost respect for the context, are now contemporary rooms and suites where natural materials and designer furnishings blend with the history of the old monastery The resort's cuisine is a homage to the most authentic Sicily, with dishes that celebrate the organic produce from the vegetable garden and from small local producers, while the wines come from the estate's vineyards, conveying the volcanic soul of the territory.

hospitality.”
