A superb hotel in an excellent location 5-10 minutes' walk from the centre of Taormina. We had a junior suite which was spacious, comfortable, well-equipped and had gorgeous views. The whole hotel is decorated in a tasteful, understated, Italian style. I don't think I've encountered more helpful staff in any hotel - just the right mixture of friendliness and formality... more

Hotel/room/dining/views/service SPECTACULAR! I couldn't have dreamed a more perfect ending to a wonderful trip to Sicily and the Aeolian Islands. more

We stayed at Villa Carlotta for 10 days on our honeymoon and the hotel was simply fantastic. Our room was excellent – great bathroom/shower, plenty of space, and complimentary WI FI. One of my favorite things about the hotel was the breakfasts. You have never had a more amazing breakfast. What they served was totally homemade--the desserts, the juice, the... more

We stayed for a weekend last month for my partners birthday. We arrived on Friday night when it was already dark, so were stunned by the wonderful view when we got up in the morning. The weather was great during our stay. We upgraded to the delux room, which meant that we had dual aspect and two small balconies. One... more

My husband and I recently stayed at this hotel and were pleased beyond words. The hotel staff was very nice and very helpful. The room was beautifully decorated and was very comfortable, and the view of the ocean was beautiful. The delicious and plentiful breakfast buffet, including all sorts of pastries, fresh fruits, juices, meats, cheeses, breads, Prosecco,......was served on... more

We paid a little extra for a de luxe room which lived up to its name being of a very good size (probably the largest room we have had in Europe for anything like this price) and well appointed. Breakfast is taken on the top floor where you can eat inside or on a terrace outside with gorgeous views over... more

Perched on the edge of a cliff, you eat breakfast with a panoramic view of the aquamarine Mediterannean -- what more do you want?! Ask for an upgrade, they usually oblige, and you will find yourself in a commodious and tastefully put together suite that gives you more mind-blowing views. Take advantage of the staff's knowledge of the town and... more

This hotel is beautiful in appearance, small and luxurious - beautifully decorated and furnished common areas as well as individual rooms. Magnificent views of the sea from room as well as from lounge and extraordinarily lovely breakfast area (views from the latter include Mt. Etna). Friendly but courteous, helpful and attentive service by the desk staff and breakfast and lounge... more

I spent a week in Taormina with my husband and extended family and we all enjoyed the atmosphere and the service of Villa Carlotta. The rooms are small but all with sea view (we had a lovely terrace as well), clean and well decorated. The staff are very kind and helpful (from reception to cleaners). The little restaurant on the... more
