We chose Villa Carlotta on the advice of friends in order to avoid driving on the narrow Ragusa streets. It is at the edge of town -- don't use your GPS as it takes you onto a road with no access to Via Ghandi. Desk staff could not help us with busses into Ragusa, so we took a taxi to... More

this was our first stop in Sicily. We arrived at Catania and it is about 1h15 driving from there. The hotel is easy to find, just follow the signs. The GPS will however mislead you to the other side of the road but the road is cut in 2 so you cannot drive to the hotel though the road. Just... More

easy to locate by car. We arrived early and room was not ready, so we had breakfast. Room was ready in the afternoon. We were quite amazed on how tiny the room was, no space at all. We booked a standard room. There was a cupboard built in the room that served as a storage area for housekeeping, obviously access... More

Gracious staff, very accommodating to our halting, limited Italian. Absolutely superb food, with warm and attentive service. Very large, comfortable and modern rooms, very clean. Special all around.

The hotel is very pretty - with simple, minimalist decor - very pleasing to the eye - and relaxing for the soul! It's situated in a very quiet area with a beautiful pool which is overlooked by most of the rooms and a lovely lawn and gardens. The piece de la resistance though is their restaurant which is ABSOLUTELY superb.... More

Price is reasonable and breakfast is very nice. Quite difficult to locate on the GPS though as the city of raguse has two Gandhi streets! on the minus side, the... More

Made a last minute change to this hotel rather than staying in Ragusa and glad we did. What a gem this hotel is with extensive grounds and with ample parking. The staff are fantastic ever so helpful, we arrived late and they gave us some bottles of ice cold water for the room. Breakfasts are fab jst loved it with... More

A Michelin 1-star restaurant on the premises says it all-- not the poshest, but definitely a pleasure. Dinner at the restaurant is as expected-- exquisite-- but breakfast (complimentary for hotel guests) was an unanticipated bonus, with pefectly ripe fruit, omelets to order (in Italy!), home-made marmalades, and really flaky pastries. Combine the cuisine with a top-flight architectural experience-- clean, modern... More

We were looking for relaxation, good food and friendly atmosphere and weren't disappointed. The swimming pool was great, as this hotel has only a handfull of rooms/suites the pool wasn't crowded, the area was decked with sofas and it was heaven just lying there with a good book and a drink with the cristalline pool on hand for refreshing dips....
