Originally built in 1860 for a local aristocratic family, Hotel Villa Carlotta boasts panoramic views of Mount Etna and the dazzlingly blue waters of the Ionian Sea, creating an idyllic setting for relaxation. The warm, earthy tones, Italian antiques and inviting lounge areas create the atmosphere of a family home, though the lush botanical gardens and staggering sea views steal the limelight at every opportunity. The 28 rooms include five suites, four luxury apartments and one luxury private villa, and each interior-designed accommodation combines classical motifs and modern amenities for an authentic and comfortable stay.
Relax and unwind on the panoramic sundeck with a cocktail or take a dip in the pool before indulging in Sicilian delicacies prepared with the finest organic local ingredients and served with far-reaching sea views. If you can be tempted from the hotel, explore Taormina’s Greek amphitheatre, take a day trip to Mount Etna or head to the beach.
