Private base to explore Sicily or relax by pool
Don't be put off by the arrangements for payment. Stéphanie is responsive by email ahead of the date and met us on arrival in town to guide us safely to the cottage. We loved it so much we left our security deposit as a downpayment for the following year!

Private base to explore Sicily or relax by pool
Casa Carlotta was the perfect base for our family's first trip to Sicily. The pool is a great size and the recent work means there is plenty of inside space if you need to retreat from the sun. The cottage is close enough to Syracuse with its markets, dining, historic sites and shops, but located far enough from town to make it enormously peaceful and relaxing. From here we visited the South Coast for a short Inspector Montalbano-themed route, visited the outlet centre in Agira and I even went for a day trip up to the route of the Targa Florio up in the North. As others have said, you will need a car here.

Lovely cottage fantastic holiday
We planned 2 weeks in Sicily and spent1 week in this lovely cottage, we were so happy when we found out the huge pool and the welcoming atmosphere of the property. We would like to thank both Stéphanie for her warm welcome in a perfect English and the owners, Vanessa and Marco, always ready to help us understand how small things work like air-conditioning and the oven. The location was also perfect to visit Syracuse city which is 15 mn' drive. We will definetely come back!

Great getaway for families with children
What a wonderful holiday! A quiet, clean and modern villa with a lovely swimming pool. Beautifully kept grounds with jasmine and olive trees and lots of privacy. Courteous and polite owners. It's around eight minutes' drive from a lovely beach (Arenella) and a short drive (about 20 minutes) to the old city of Ortigia in Siracuse.
The location, surrounded by working farms, suited us brilliantly. Just 40 minutes from Catania airport. The welcome pack was much appreciated with an enormous yummy pasta dish and some of the olive oil made on site! Please note that you definitely need a car to rent this, and stock up on bottled water because you are not able to drink the tap water. It's not exactly aimed at children ( little elements such as duvets that do not have duvet covers, layout of the kitchen etc ) but actually the villa worked out really well. The second bedroom is very cosy. Swimming pool has plenty of shallow bits for little ones to splash about in and is far enough away from the terraces so that outdoor spaces are safe for kids to play, and the owner's children delighted ours!
If there are any criticisms it is the way in which the payment is done (wired deposit and then cash when we arrived). Also, got a bit nervous about who exactly we were dealing with because the person who replied to our emails enquiring about the property was in fact the agent managing the property (she didn't seem to have a job title, company name, or surname) and not the owner. That said, she turned out to be very amiable and real! Also the directions to the beach, which is so very close, were terrible. some people have not managed to find it at all during their time here. If anybody mentions a traffic circle, just remember that means a junction and not necessarily roundabout!
All in all a lovely holiday home at a reasonable price.
Modern villa with super pool
Just had a great week at the Casa Carlotta. Sweet villa with very comfortable beds, property was very clean on arrival and had everything needed for the stay. Nice to get a welcome meal awaiting for us as we were late in from our flight, and some small bits for breakfast. Stephanie was very welcoming and gave us lots of very useful information. The pool is stunning, extremely large for a small villa and very clean and there are great out door facilites. We missed a proper inside lounge as sofa was in a central hall but good weather meant we were outside a lot. An outside BBQ would have been useful. Villa well placed for Syracusa, in avery quiet rural area, we didnt find an easily accessed sandy beach, but plenty to do otherwise. If you are looking for a relaxed holiday, time at the pool chilling with some sight seeing then this would suit well.
