About
Hotel Villa Carlotta
Hotel Villa Carlotta occupies a stately villa in a quiet residential neighborhood, just a few minutes' walk from the Porta Romana city gate and about 350 metres from Piazzale Michelangelo. The property is set in its own gardens, with a seasonal outdoor pool, sun terrace, and a relaxed veranda — a rare green retreat within reach of the crowds.
Rooms range from compact singles to spacious doubles and twins, all with air conditioning, heating, and either a shower or bathtub. The hotel keeps things simple: breakfast is served on site, the bar pours drinks into the evening, and staff are known for being genuinely helpful. Parking is available and often free, which makes a real difference for anyone touring Tuscany by car.

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms can feel dated — Some guests note that the property, while charming, isn’t brand new. Expect traditional décor rather than cutting-edge design.
- Check-in ends at 10 p.m. — If you’re arriving late, the 14:00–22:00 check-in window could be a problem. Plan to reach the hotel before 10 p.m. or arrange alternative.
- Mixed value for the price — The rating for 'Price and service' sits at 7/10, and with prices from £54, expectations are high. Some guests may find the balance between cost and condition not always perfect.
