Monaci delle Terre Nere, Relais & Chateaux

6 Sustainable Winery Resorts in Italy

"Set on the slopes of Mt. Etna, this certified-organic retreat embraces its volcanic setting with roughly hewn lava walls, terraced grounds, citrus and olive groves, and a relaxed poolside atmosphere. Guest accommodations range from renovated rooms in an 18th-century villa to standalone villas with private pools, and guests can dine at an on-site organic restaurant that complements the estate’s own wines (released under the Guido Coffa label). Evenings on the terrace feel cinematic—so much so that pre-dinner cocktails evoke scenes from the Sicilian season of White Lotus—while the property’s focus on place-driven wines and sustainable practices underscores a quiet, characterful sense of place." - Lauren Mowery
