This is one of the best hotels in Taormina. The hotel is an old building, decorated with great Italian taste and class. All the employees are really kind and make you feel at home. The rooms are very confortable with great view to the sea and nice terraces. The breakfast in the terrace is lovely and the food is delicious.... More

We stayed at Hotel Villa Carlotta for 2 nights in our 10 day trip to Sicily and it was an absolute highlight. The location is ideal, just 5-10 minutes walking to the downtown and the views are breathtaking from the hotel, particularly the breakfast area. I have rarely seen such a gorgeous view. The staff are gracious and helpful. We... More

With any hotel the staff are key. We came away from Villa Carlotta having stayed there for 8 nights, knowing all of them by name. We left feeling that we had made friends with them all. Then you add on the fact that the hotel is perfectly situated, the rooms outstanding and kept spotlessly clean. The restauraunt brilliant for its... More

I could list the names of all the fabulous staff, but I don't want them to feel like we're stalking them. This boutique luxury hotel is beautifully situated and has a gorgeous breakfast included with the room, but the thing that takes it over the top is the "service," which felt more like... love - never obsequious, always helpful in...

The staff here could not have been more gracious or accommodating. The hotel is small, somewhat expensive, and worth every cent. The staff assisted us with our taxis, car, reservations and other needs. The night of our arrival (at nearly 11:00 PM) they kept the full kitchen crew on hand and prepared an a la carte dinner for us, dismissing... More

We spent 5 lovely nights at the Villa Carlotta. The hotel, which has been beautifully decorated, has lovely sea views and although not in the centre of Taormina is only a 10 minute stroll away which is particularly beautiful through the communal gardens. It was nice to be able to get away from the very busy Corso Umberto occasionally! Our... More

We've just got back from our fabulous honeymoon at the Villa Carlotta. We stayed in 'Apartment 3 "Love Nest"' and cannot recommend this place highly enough. A huge private terrace with amazing views over the coast, and Mt. Etna in the distance, is just one of the many things that made our stay here so special. The location is great... More
