Carlotta s Beachroom

Hotel Villa Carlotta – Taormina A true boutique gem in Taormina. The location is perfect — walking distance from the center, yet tucked away enough to enjoy peace and stunning views of the sea and the city. The villa is full of authentic Sicilian charm. I loved the rich, warm colors and traditional touches throughout — you feel the soul of Sicily in every detail. The Etro amenities were such a surprise! One of my personal favorite brands — both for me, my husband, and our home (the diffusers are by far the best). First time trying their hair and body line… wow. Luxurious and fresh, it elevated the whole experience. The Euphoria Restaurant is absolutely impeccable. From the atmosphere to the refined dishes, everything was beautifully executed. Elegant, relaxed, and delicious — a perfect complement to the hotel. Highly recommended for those looking for charm, quality, and that extra special something.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay – the staff, especially the reception team, were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was excellent, featuring fresh produce and a variety of daily sweets. The pool area was spacious, offering plenty of spots to unwind and soak up the sun. My recommendation: value for money, given the price point, complimentary bottled water in the room and inclusion of the à la carte breakfast would be appreciated. Would definitely return and recommend this hotel.

One of the most disappointing stays we’ve ever had. The hotel calls itself “luxury,” but it’s really a 3-star experience at nearly 5-star prices. The worst part? Breakfast. They claim it’s “the best in town,” but it’s mostly cheap, store-bought items — nothing fresh, local, or high-quality. To make it worse, the good-quality options you’d expect to be included are instead hidden on an à la carte menu you have to pay extra for. Shameful for the price we paid. Rooms weren’t cleaned properly, amenities like lotions and toiletries were never replenished, and overall it felt cheap and careless. Eight nights here was more than enough — we left feeling ripped off and will never return.
