Why we like Villa Carlotta

Walk into Taormina for the Greek Theatre, public gardens and a leisurely lunch, then return for a swim and dinner above the sea. Villa Carlotta brings the town’s pleasures together with the comfort of a small, elegant hotel.

The rooftop terrace is a highlight, from breakfast in the morning light to an evening at Euphoria Restaurant. A private transfer makes arrival easy, and you can enjoy Taormina on foot throughout your stay.

Choose a room with a sea-view balcony, a suite with a terrace or a separate apartment for more space together. Each offers a different way to enjoy time between outings.
