We ended our trip to Sicily in Taormina, and stayed at the Ashbee. Talk about saving the best to last... Elegant hotel, with attentive staff, excellent meals, wonderful view, and service, service, service. The hotel is just a few steps from the main pedestrian area (Corso Umberto), yet the grounds are very quiet and serene. We stayed in the Suite... More

We found the Ashbee to be a peaceful and quite spot right in the centre of taormina, far away from the loud and chaotic town centre. The small pool is very impressive and the garden conjured up images of an exotic Botanical garden. We particularly appreciated the local restaurant, the St George I think, which offers one of the finest... More

We stayed here for a few days while we got married in Taormina recently and whilst the hotel itself is beautiful and the rooms are nice, we felt let down by the attitude of some of the staff. We had friends staying in Taormina who had made a huge effort to come across for aour wedding but when they came... More

I visited this hotel the night before my friends wedding, where they had arranged (and paid for) drinks on the terrace for their wedding guests. The staff were very unfriendly and not helpful when it begun the rain, although there where terrace umbrellas that could have been opened. Instead they disappeared! I wasn't sure why. However I was soon to... More

We spent the first 3 nights of married life in the Ashbee Hotel and were not disappointed. Everything from the exceptional service to the suburb facilities and beautiful views could not have been better. It felt like we were staying in a luxury villa rather than a hotel and that made it so peaceful and relaxing - the perfect place... More

One of the most beautiful experience in an Hotel for me. If you're looking for an exclusive place, with luxury, courtesy and an incredible competence, this is the right place. The best choice in Taormina for exclusive people that are looking for exclusive places.

We just finished our 5 day stay at the Ashbee Hotel and we were certainly sad to leave! The property is beautiful and the views are stunning, but what I will always remember is the level of attention we received from the staff. Every single staff member we spoke to was intent on making sure our needs were met and... More

After more years staying in hotels than we might care to admit to, we found the Ashbee to be up there with the very best! Everything about the Ashbee is superb; from location, decoration, the food, the service, and probably what we will remember most is the staff. Every single member was helpful, friendly, often greeting you by name, and... More

We loved the Ashbee! There is nothing more breathtaking than their infinity pool overlooking the Taormina cliffs and beach. A sublime and decadent experience. The service was impeccable and the room comfortable and beautiful (one small complaint is that the luxurious shower allowed water to get everywhere...but they always cleaned it up). The location right near the entrance to the... More
