Eat & Drink

Dining in
Villa Carlotta's restaurant serves Sicilian dishes, fresh pasta and salads alongside Sicilian wines. Tuck into spaghetti al pomodoro e basilico and caprese salad against a backdrop of contemporary Italian design. If the heat has sapped your appetite chill out in the Sicilian Bar and sip an amaro or glass of wine from the excellent wine list. If that doesn't work, cool off with a traditional Sicilian granita (lemon ice).

Stunning views are matched by superb breakfasts on the villa's rooftop terrace. Tables groan under the weight of everything from fresh juices to cold meats, and Sicilian savouries to exquisite home-made fruit tarts. And if any more fizz is needed to start the day, a glass of prosecco begs to be savoured. Walls are adorned with sunny, citrus fruit prints and there are glass bowls everywhere with Sicilian lemons and oranges. Oh, and there's limitless coffee, too.

Breakfast
Breakfast is served until 10.30am. The buffet table is laden with home made cakes, quiches and local Sicilian savouries.

Room service
Available morning and evening.

See & Do

See & Do
It's well worth walking up through Taormina to the hilltop village of Castelmola (on second thoughts, take the free hotel shuttle up to sister hotel Villa Ducale and stroll from there), and watching the nightly passeggiata along Corso Umberto. Taormina's ancient Greek/Roman theatre stages productions throughout the summer months, and trips to Mount Etna are easily arranged.

Spa
There's a  wellness club ten minutes away where you can book a massage or other pampering treatments. Alternatively a free shuttle take you to the hotel’s private beach.
