The Ashbee Hotel

The hotel was magnificent. Everyone was very warm and friendly and a pleasure to speak with. I had a wonderful experience.

Everything about the Ashbee is perfection. The entire staff was extremely accommodating and informative. Always pleasant and anticipating our needs. The grounds are impeccable and the rooms comfortable and inviting. All of the food was delicious and the location is so convenient for access to the popular sites.

This hotel is absolutely phenomenal. Everything about the stay was perfect. The property feels like it's out of a movie. The staff are exceptional and I have never had better service and attention to detail in a stay before.

Think of a boutique hotel with only 24 rooms in the middle of Taormina. Luxury rooms. Add to that the most magnificent view across the sea to the Messina Straits and Mainland Italy. Throw in the ultimate hospitality experience. 5* luxury and a 2* Michelin Restaurant. Supplement this with exceptional staff (A special mention for Ivana-the Queen of Cocktails). The pool with THE view. In 5 minutes you can be in the centre. Take the Etna Tour, a Wine Tour, a Pizza lesson or, the best, a personal Godfather tour. If you go to Sicily this hotel is the one for you.

We just spent 3 glorious nights at the Ashbee and really loved it!! Firstly the location of the hotel is perfect, just a 3 min walk to the to the start of the Main Street in Taormina. The property is lovely and has this old school kind of vibe. Our room was spacious, and very well kept with a large balcony and spectacular views. The only negative about the room was that the bathroom was quite small, with just one sink, but it was really adequate. Nice robe and slippers in the room as well and turn-down service in the evenings. What stood out at the Ashbee was the incredible top-notch service. The reception staff were all so attentive and helpful. Special shout out to Carlos who was so caring and accommodating and helped us with many of our plans. We did an excursion to Mount Etna which he helped organize which was great. The only negative about Taormina in general is that the beach is far and crowded and quite a hassle to get to. The Ashbee has a few Beach clubs it works with, we went to one they recommended called Nuova Spiagga Paradiso which was amazing with great service, but it’s quite expensive. and not included in the cost of the hotel. Overall, the Ashbee was an amazing choice, we’re so happy we stayed there, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND it
