La Toscana di Carlotta at Burns House
-
La Toscana di Carlotta at Burns House (C. 1818). Horse carriage view from your balcony, steps to fine Mediterranean dining, the Shaw Theatres, shopping, other exquisite restaurants. Just park and enjoy our pretty town on foot.
The Da Vinci room -- with an extra third person bed if you need it. Similar to Brunelleschi, it has a balcony with a horse carriage view. All our rooms have ensuite baths. Named after the Renaissance genius, Leonardo da Vinci.
Carlotta of the La Toscana di Carlotta fame, uses an antique prosciutto holder handed down in her family to paper slice this fine meat, a delicacy of Tuscanny.
Brunelleschi Room -- named after the architect who built Florence's magnificent dome. Enjoy a horse carriage view from the balcony and scores of other amenities.
Our guest lounge offers you newspapers, magazines, books on Bernard Shaw plays, exquisite books on Renaissance paintings from Italy, and publications pertaining to the Italians after whom we have named our rooms.
Italians speak the way they eat... SWEET!
The Medici room -- ceiling to floor windows and the same high class amenities as the others with individual A/C. Named after the famous Tuscan family that was the patron of the arts in the Renaissance.
A light Italian omelette filled with Chippole, or sweetened Italian onions, a Tuscan specialty. Or have it with the traditional Pomarola or tomato sauce with basil and other herbs. They come with organic salad or simply baby Arugula or Spinach.
Our signature Crostini! Bruschetta, Chippole, chicken liver pate and a puree of orange and red peppers -- all of them made in our kitchen, fresh, using Carlotta's family recipes from Tuscany.
Breakfast is served on a delightful patio with a larger than normal roof so that it can even be used when it rains. If you're lucky, a resident bunny in the English woodland garden will perform some appearing and disappearing tricks for you!

5 out of 5Outstanding NOTL B&B
June 16, 2010
The B&B is located in the heart of NOTL and only two or three blocks from the Shaw Theaters. The B&B is very comfortable and a joy to stay at. Carlotta, Kash and Momma were a delight to be around. Momma was visiting from Florence, Italy and was quickly learning English. The four course Italian Breakfasts were spectacular. Hope to return soon.
5 out of 5It was like being treated like royalty in your own home!
January 31, 2010
We have just returned from our second visit to La Toscana di Carlotta. If you can imagine, being treated like royalty, feeling like you are the most important guest who has ever visited and then, finally, feeling as though this B and B is home. The food is outstanding, the rooms are lovely, the products provided (linens and toiletries) are the finest and all of that is only the beginning. Your hosts, Kash and Carlotta have a magical way of knowing just what you need when and just how much! You don't want to miss the opportunity to visit this home where you come first. You are treated to the amazing experience of Carlotta and Kash's cultural influences and their uncanny skill of making you feel as though your visit what just what they had been waiting for! Enjoy!

Carlotta, Kash and Carlotta's mother create a breakfast that is a wonderful, indulgent, occasion. The setting is a lovely porch (in the good weather), the courses are beautiful as well as delicious, and the whole experience brings a smile in the remembering. Our group included a vegan, which means a challenge, but Carlotta was up to it, and took wonderful care of him, as well as the rest of us. I don't mean to slight the rest of our experience there. The rooms were delightful, with the best bathroom I've had in a B&B recently. The advice from Kash and Carlotta about town of Niagara on the Lake and about the simplest way to see the Falls was right on. It was a delightful experience; I recommend it highly.
