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

Sitting in the colder climes of the Loire Valley I can only reflect on the hugely favorable experience of this hotel just departed. From the start you become literally part of their "family". Nothing is too much trouble, the rooms are frequently serviced, the magnificent breakfasts have been mentioned by other reviewers and the location is perfect for Taormina. The... 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

Breakfast including coffee are the best I've had with frest fruits, juices, savoury items including cheeses and several different cakes and biscuits. This hotel is stunning, very clean surrounded by flowers and birds. The staff... More

We spent a week at Villa Carlotta at the end of April 2013. Unfortunately the weather was uncharacteristic for the time of year but the hotel cannot be faulted. On arrival our car was whisked away to be valet parked (20 euros a day charge for this) and Nathalie greeted us and advised us to head to the rooftop terrace... More

My husband and I enjoyed a week at the Villa Carlotta which proved to be well-situated within easy reach of the town and shops, and the public gardens, while having magnificent views to the sea and to Mount Etna.
