We stayed in the apartment with the balcony, and it was amazing! The balcony was huge, with a good view (slightly obscured by a palm tree), and the beds were super comfortable. The apartment had beautiful decor, a washing machine/drier, kitchen, and two bathrooms, with fancy toiletries. The hotel itself was close by, and has a pool and gym, which we didn't use because it was too cold for the pool and the treadmill was self-powered (also, gym didn't open til 9). But it was nice to have those amenities available as well. The breakfast is a little pricy (25 Euro), but very nice, with many options, and the view from the restaurant is lovely.

The host is friendly and responsive. The property is perfect - spacious, clean, convenient and it was a perfect home base for our family visit to Sicily. I rarely review properties after a stay, but this comment was warranted. You will not be disappointed.

Exciting upgrade
I didn't stay at the actual hotel as there was some problem. Instead I was upgraded, with much communication in advance to make sure I would be happy, to a lovely apartment with a private terrace overlooking the sea. This means I can't really rank the hotel as I was completely off-site, but it was a lovely experience and there was still housekeeping and amenities at the apartment.

Loved this Hotel!
Loved staying here for 3 nights on our 2 week trip in Sicily. One of our favorite hotels of our stay. Service was outstanding, location was great with an easy walk to town a few blocks away. The restaurant was fabulous and the breakfast was the best one we experienced while in Sicily. The room was very comfortable.

We stayed in the Two Bedroom Villa/Apartment 4, which was extremely spacious and accommodating. The staff was extremely helpful and attentive and when we did have a minor issue, they more than made up for it. The hotel is beautifully decorated and in a very central, yet quiet location. The view was unbeatable and I can’t wait to return! 5 stars!

Inflated Hotel Rating
We selected Villa Carlotta based on the high rating and favorable reviews. We stayed in one of the hotel’s apartments: coffee cups and silverware dirty, washer/drier moldy. “Shabby chic” overall condition, tasteful interior decor. Large roof terrace with great views, but not well maintained, felt unused and abandoned. Staff uncreative with remedying cleanliness situation despite being well tipped upon arrival. Rather than comping return airport transfer or a night’s stay, €20 breakfast was comped, plus a bottle of wine upon departure. We don’t drink, so this was a presumptuous and ultimately irrelevant gesture. The hotel rating is not commensurate with the property’s condition and the staff lacks experience with skillful troubleshooting.

Response from The owner on Jun 25, 2021
Dear Stefano, thank you for your review. Actually all your comments are non sense. Since you arrived "because of Covid" you asked not to clean your apartment as well as your friend so after 4 days of wind, little desert rain, it wasn't totally clean. I would like not to add anything else for fairplay, just one thing: our Hotel is ranked 9,8 out of 10, so who is the problem? Arrivederci, Mr. A. Quartucci

Short but sweet
We spent just one night at Villa Carlotta on this visit, but hope to stay longer next time! Very comfortable rooms but proper blockout curtains would be a welcome addition as the current ones do not block out well at all, meaning that we were woken as the sun rose around 5.15am! Beautiful views from the lovely rooftop restaurant.

Incredible stay at Villa Carlotta this summer. We were amazed by the beauty of the place, its perfect location but most of all, the staff. We were incredibly well-received/ served/ advised during our journey. The nicest team - plus speaking a perfect french. I was forgetting to mention the breakfast that was beyond delicious (which you’ll be able to take in front of a breathtaking view)

The love nest experience!
My fiancé and I have been traveling all over Italy and we have to say that by far the Sicilian food and specially the hotel service was incredible, our view of the sea from our room was the most amazing view we have ever had in our lives! Given that I have traveled to many other Countries, but nothing like this. Our receptionist help me put together a plan so that I could propose to my Fiancé it was awesome! Never had a receptionist care so much and go out of their way to make it happen! Not to mention she also put together a folder full of amazing restaurants they recommend as well as places to go see. They have it all mapped out for you and saves you (the tourist) the hassle of looking it up on the internet and making a choice. I highly recommend this Hotel to anyone and I will be going back soon! Thank you Villa Carlotta😊

Fabulous four night stay in Villa Carlotta, beautiful hotel with staff that can’t do enough for you, breakfast was gorgeous with plenty of hot and cold options. Our room had a large balcony overlooking the sea and the pool area, spotlessly clean with a great shower. Short walk in to town and really near a beautiful park. Easily reached by bus. Will definitely be going back to Taormina and Villa Carlotta.
