The Ashbee Hotel - Taormina

Two nights in a beautiful city. The hotel exceeded all of our expectations. New and the friendliest staff we have seen in Italy/Sicily.

Genuine Expedia guest review

My wife and I stayed at The Ashbee for three nights during our recent late-summer tour of Sicily. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel comfortable and at home. The view from the terrace during breakfast was stunning and the service impeccable. On checking-out we were told that they had just been advised that the hotel was being elevated to […] 5-Star status as from next month - and I'm not surprised. Read more

From what we saw of Taormina I would say this was the best hotel. It looked beautiful and had the most wonderful views of the coast with a lovely garden area where you could have your breakfast each morning. The staff were excellent and very pleasant. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, the only downside being no tea or coffee making facilities […] in the room. We would definitely go back to Taormina again just to stay at the Ashbee Hotel.

I recently went to the Ashbee hotel as part of a honeymoon trip with my husband and would highly recommend this hotel. The hotel was one of the best that we have been too it is a boutique hotel and consists of 25 rooms allowing the staff to give the best service I have received. The room is cleaned daily to a very high standard but then towels are replaced […] again in the evening which is a really nice touch. The staff were all very friendly and helpful with recommendations for trips and dining. The hotel is ideally located only a 5 minute walk to the shops and restaurants of Taormina. The view from the pool area is spectacular and is definitely as good as the pictures online if not better. Read more

The staff at the Ashbee are a credit to the Hotel. The pool was dirty on arrival but cleaned soon after. Bathrobes were not provided. This hotel is in a great position very clean, tidey and has been decorated to the highest standard., and has kept its originality. When the resturant and Spa have been completed i can see this Hotel rising in its star […] rating. Would love to go back. Read more

The hotel staff is helpfull and very polite. One member of staff even found out information about tickets for a play we wanted to see in her spare time! hotel is very quiet and you feel very relaxed, quiet at home. Decor is amazing, a mixture of old and new. Our room had a great bathroom with walls of amzing stone and the room had a big double bed and […] balcony. Hotel provides all day snacks, however not dinners so you have to eat out. We did not mind it as we like the idea choosing a restaurant in town, which were plenty. Pool is nice and clean, with water at perfect temperature and a view over the see and mainland. It also has a separate jacuzzi. Only small minus of the hotel is the centrally managed air conditioning. Our room was a bit hot, we asked to have the temperature lowered, but i don't think they did. Overall, perfect place for honeymoon. I wish we would have stayed longer. Read more

Very impressed by The Ashbee. Very comfortable rooms and the location of the hotel means that you can be in the main area of town in a 2-3 minute walk. Pool and view across the bay is superb and very attentive staff made our stay very relaxing. Would thoroughly recommend.

This hotel is centrally located, just a minute from the toarmina town centre, and away from the bustle from the main high street it provides a private and tranquil retreat. The service was impeccable and staff were always hopsitable. The hotel is quaint and unique with an infinity pool that overlooks towards Messina. My only critisim is that the temperature […] of the rooms are centrally controlled and you cannot manually ajdjust the controls in your own room so we found at times to be rather hot. Room service however are willing to adjust this for you. Read more

beautiful hotel in a great location but we had a major ptoblem with the shower. I like to use the hand held part not over head as I like lots of women don't like to het me hair wet. You couldn't use the hand held bit without running the overhead shower for a while before hand. This meant our hair got wet and we flooded the bathroom every day. My mum […] was kept awake with running water all night from the room above us and on the Saturday night she said she couldn't sleep with the sound of music coming from somewhere. I'm a heavy sleeper so this didn't affect me. The hotel and the view are stunning though and the butler with tails and White gloves was an amazing touch great location too. Read more

Hotel sympa mais peut mieux faire... Chambre confort et déco très bonne. Petit déjeuner buffet (jus de fruits en brique) dommage pour la sicile et les oranges dans les arbres autour.... Les oeufs en supplément (dommage pour un 4 étoiles avec la nuit à ce prix) Demander une chambre vue mer si possible (attention, exposition moyenne) Piscine non chauffée […] et mal exposée... Pas d'animation ou d'effort particulier dans l'hotel malgré un personnel (très jeune) sympathique. Surtout résidentiel et basta. (et si vous demandez des chips, alors sortez 2,50 €) Mieux a faire dans Taormina pour ce budget... Bonne chance Read more
