A year later, this still stands out as the most memorable hotel I've stayed at in all my travels. It truly is such a beautiful property. They've put in great attention and thought into the renovation and preservation of the property. I wouldn't stay anywhere else in the area.

If I could give 4.5 I would. Stayed in 2 wonderful rooms as we had to split our stay due to room availability. We started in Suite Ambiale which was one the best hotel rooms I have stayed in. The bathroom was a little small and for a normal sized person and it was tricky to take a leak without... More

An easy 25 minute drive from Catania-Fontanarossa Airport but worlds away from Catania's sprawl. We found Monaci to be exactly what we had in mind for our trip to Italy - a stylish retreat, in an amazing setting that at times we seemed to have all to ourselves. The hosts and staff were super friendly, helpful and accommodating (their recommendations... More

everything was perfect the location, the hospitality, the service, the cosyness, the taste and the style. Leaving since so many years in Italy I could not imagime you could find all that in an ttatian hotel, we are at the same level at the best hotels in UK, Mexico, Spain or Asia. a gem and at a very decent price.

We drove 8 hours from Amalfi to get here - and it was more than worth the hike. From the moment you arrive you feel relaxed and at peace. The staff are wonderful - many other reviewers have mentioned Guido, the lovely owner, but we were also thoroughly taken with Nuane and his wife Sureli, who were charming to us... More

We stayed at Monaci delle Terre Nere soon after it opened, and we were incredibly impressed and would love to return. The owner, Guido, really has done an excellent job of decorating this property in a "shabby chic" style while keeping the rooms very comfortable as well. The grounds are also beautiful, as you are essentially surrounded by olive groves... More
