After an arduous journey including two ill-fated cab rides, I arrived at Carlotta's at an ungodly hour, sweaty and meek and exhausted. Yet, the evening ended on a much happier note following the wonderful welcome I received. Carlotta and Dane, her wonderful Mamma Italiana, are absolutely fabulous hosts who run the place with great care and attention to detail. They're warm and funny and crazy polyglots AND they make bruschetta that is to die for. I would absolutely recommend their place if you are looking for somewhere that feels warm and familial, a sanctuary from the tourist bustle of the town with a delightful view of woods and the sea... and you'll still be right in the center in just 5-10 minutes via the scenic stairs. I'll happily come again if they'll have me!!
