"Set at the foot of Mount Etna on a 60‑acre organic estate once tended by Augustinian monks, this wine resort treats sustainability as a way of life and holds eco‑bio certification. Minimalist guest rooms in a 19th‑century villa open to countryside views, while the estate cultivates recovered ancient seeds and some 150 native varieties of fruits and trees used by the Locanda Nerello restaurant, which follows Slow Food principles; guests can take part in farm activities, enjoy open‑air ayurvedic treatments, or join a cocktail masterclass in the garden." - Laura Itzkowitz, Erica Firpo
