My husband and I and our 7 month old daughter spent 3 nights at this fabolous Taormina hotel in July. We have done a lot of travel around the world and stay in mostly 4 and 5 star accommodation. I would say this hotel met all of our expectations. The staff were very helpful and made up a lovely cot for our daughter. The buffet breakfast is amazing, huge range of fresh and cooked foods, and the rooftop setting is beautiful. The whole hotel is very well maintained. Our room was big enough to allow us to put our baby to sleep in one part during the day and we could also relax, read books etc in the bedroom or on the balcony. All rooms facing the sea have beautiful views.
The only (minor) negatives are the pool area is quite small, the hotel is about 10 min walk from the main part of Taormina, we had to negotiate stairs with our stroller to get to the pool and from our room to the lift area that takes you to the breakfast room, and we paid quite a lot for a room, but it seems most Taormina accommodation is quite expensive.
Also I recommend the rooms above ground floor with balcony (not juliette). Overall we had a fabulous time at villa Carlotta and would stay here again.
