Villa Carlotta - Boutique Hotel in Taormina

We've picked up this hotel after having read many good reviews about it. After 5 nights spent there in various rooms we can confirm this is likely to be the best choice. Let me give you a couple of good reasons  :

• the location is just perfect : 5mn walk up to the historical part of Taormina, 15mn down to Isola Bella beach ( worth out of peak season ).
• the staff is very friendly and helpful. A special mention to Tea from the reception desk and Maria who works at the roof terrace restaurant.

• the rooms have been redesigned 2 years ago. They are quite large and with very good taste. Do not spend your money in  a Junior suite. Better book a deluxe room with clear sea view. The 202 and 204 are just very nice. You'll pay around 200 to 270€ per night breakfast & taxes included.
• the roof top terrace is spectacular with amazing view on the sea and the Etna 

• the breakfast is homemade 100% and offers a very wide range. Excellent products.
• We've had dinner twice at the hotel and were very happy with local specialties of the day. Cheap.
