“A beautiful luxury hotel situated on the cliff tops. Sumptuous rooms, suites and apartments most with private terraces. Rooms have stone floors, delicate watercolours and rich fabrics. Fantastic restaurant and pool. Utterly romantic, but still very accommodating for families or groups. ”

Hotel review

Quite simply, Hotel Villa Carlotta is one of the best places to stay in Taormina. With far reaching views across the magical Sicilian coastline, it's a romantic hideaway which delivers exceptional service from a team of staff that have been here for years. Discerning travellers will appreciate the style and personality of this award-winning hotel with its relaxed atmosphere and elegant décor. You'll leave your heart at Hotel Villa Carlotta as it gently wins you over with its attention to detail, colourful interiors and personal service. There are twenty-three rooms, four luxury apartments and a luxury villa, and are as individual as the guests. Period pieces, modern classics and a Sicilian colour palette, create a chic and relaxing atmosphere. Almost all of the en-suite rooms have a balcony or terrace with sea views and families can stay in interconnecting rooms. Walking distance from Taormina's historic centre and just a six minute complimentary shuttle ride from the beach, Hotel Villa Carlotta is a great choice for culture vultures or sun seekers. The pool is set within the hotel's lush gardens and is flanked by a pool bar which serves drinks and snacks throughout the day. Breakfast on the rooftop restaurant is a feast fit for a king with homemade Sicilian delicacies including cakes, frittatas and freshly made daily specials. The lunch and à la carte dinner menu also feature authentic Sicilian dishes. Candlelit dinner here is a very romantic, memorable experience. The panoramic terrace is an ideal spot to sip a house cocktail or Sicilian aperitif. You'll feel like a guest in a private house owned and managed by local and passionate hosts who strive to give you the very best Sicilian experience.
