We spent one night recently at Carlotta Resort but could have easily stayed more. Arianna and her family were incredibly welcoming, friendly and helpful. The large bedroom and nice bathroom were clean and comfortable and also very quiet. The large clean swimming pool is super with plenty of shade and very comfortable loungers in a delightful garden setting. There is a communal kitchen area where one can make as many coffees as you like from a machine and drinking water was plentiful (not always the case in some other places we stayed). We had a pleasant breakfast outside under an awning - I wish I could have eaten more of the delicious figs fresh from the garden but I was too full! There is a good pizza type restaurant a couple of doors away where we would have eaten but it was closed on the day we visited so drove into the local little beach town San Leone and had a meal there. Do ask Arianna for her advice. Parking is in the property grounds so that is one thing less to worry about and Arianna kindly let us leave our suitcases in the house while we visited the temples and then picked them up before our departure. This is a brilliant location from which to visit the Valley of the Temples and my advice would be to stay at least two nights here for a more leisurely visit.
