Loved this hotel1. They gave me a great room that was really beautilful. Also great location, very close to town. Front desk staff Liviana and Ornella were absolutely amazing and took really good care of me. Note to management: Please remodel the lobby--it looks really shabby and doesn't do the rest of the hotel justice.

Dear Rob, thank you very much for your compliments and nice words about your recent stay in our luxury boutique hotel in Taormina center. We were extremely pleased to hear praises about our two young amazing receptionists Ornella and Liviana, a great resource for us. Let me tell you that I disagree with your opinion about the lobby; it is absolutely not shabby , that is exactly its style modeleded by famous Florentine interior designers. Of course we respect everyone's opinion. Grazie mille, Mr. Andrea Quartucci, the owner

Dear PortoLiberty, thank you for your amazing review about our Hotel Villa Carlotta serviced apartments, open ALL-YEAR-ROUND. Located at two minutes walk to the main hotel, they are a fantastic alternative to bedrooms especially for families or for those who need extra room or just more intimacy without missing all hotel services. In winter time when our hotel is closed we still have a concierge desk open from 9am to 5pm to assist our guests and provide information on how better enjoy our wonderful town and its surroundings. We look forward to your next visit either at Villa Carlotta or Villa Ducale, you know we do not fail!!!! Arrivederci, Andrea Quartucci, the owner

Our return to Villa Carlotta was just like coming home after a long break with covid keeping us away longer than we wanted. Everything was just as perfect as it always was. The staff were kind and helped with everything and it was good to see some of the old staff still there. So glad that we could have lunch and dinner here now, but breakfast with bubbles was the best. Always spotlessly clean and the ultimate in luxury. Will always come back.

We had a wonderful stay here for our honeymoon. The location is great- close to town and great for walking around. Most importantly, the staff and concierge were WONDERFUL! Everyone was kind, welcoming and accommodating. They helped us schedule all our dinner, private car and beach club reservations. The breakfast each morning was also very delicious with great views of the sea. The room was clean and bathroom was large!

Beautifully situated high up on the hill with wonderful views, (Mt Etna clearly visible from the beautiful dining room), close to the gardens, and walking distance from the quaint streets and alleyways and shops of Taormina. Eclectic design combined with first class hospitality, accommodation and cuisine. Antonella alongside the front desk team was amazing. Luigi and all the restaurant team were outstanding. Recommended highly.

We had a wonderful holiday at Villa Carlotta. It is well placed with an easy walk to town. The staff were very helpful, the room was spectacular with double aspect sea views. Breakfast and dinner menus provided a great selection of delicious offerings. We highly recommend this family run hotel.

This boutique quintessentially Italian hotel was five stars for ambience and service.A mini Palazzo . Nothing was too much trouble and the staff went out of their way to make our stay unforgettable. The hotel pool and shady garden were perfect for the hot days. And it’s situated close to beautiful Taormina with its many attractions. The hotel will book and arrange for you to enjoy all kinds of experiences from boat trips to opera and beach clubs.

We spent the second half our of honeymoon at Villa Carlotta which is a very chic and stylish hotel within walking distance from the beach. The staff were always very friendly and attentive helping us to organise snorkelling trips, beach clubs and a taxi back to Palermo airport. After our flight back to the UK was cancelled, Giovanni managed to book us in for an extra night at short notice and with minimal stress. Carlotta is located in a superb central position near to the town centre and local sites (public gardens and the amphitheatre) as well as the beautiful beaches leading to Isola Bella. We really enjoyed our stay having just celebrated our marriage, it was the perfect combination for us to be able to relax by the pool or indulge at the hotel’s restaurant with wonderful service from Luigi. Thank you for having us and for making our trip so memorable, it was hard to leave! Mr and Mrs Ross…
