All staff were very friendly, particularly Ivana who served breakfast on the terrace. The location was good, situated in the heart of Taormina. Room was adequate with a lovely balcony (Rm 18). However, the accommodation is not 5 star in our opinion and did not justify the extreme price. Size of room adequate but elements showed signs of wear and tear which we would not expect in a 5 star hotel. The staff were pleasant, helpful and friendly but there did not seem to be sufficient staff to meet guest needs.

This is one of the most beautiful hotels in the world. It is extremely private as they only have 24 rooms and you need a key to even access the property in any way. The rooms are comfortable, well designed, beautiful and enjoyable. The service is special. There is a rooftop restaurant for breakfast which provides beautiful views of the ocean and surrounding area. Food at breakfast is great. Overall, I rank this as one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. I highly recommend it if you can afford it.

Top notch. Lovely room and beautiful hotel, pool and grounds. Very quiet but only a couple of minutes walk to the main Taormina sights. We enjoyed our stay just not long enough.

Wonderful hotel, beautiful location and the staff could not have been nicer. Breakfast on the terrace each morning was amazing. The staff organized a private trip to Mt. Etna for us which worked out great. Would highly recommend this hotel.

Absolutely unparalleled experience - phenomenal views, small (26 rooms), a stone’s throw from all the dining and shops of Taormina, exceptional dining (2* Michelin) luxurious in all details and a staff that was simply superb.

The Ashlee was the loveliest hotel I’ve stayed at in Europe. The staff was courteous and went out of their way to ensure we had what we needed. The hotel was very close to shopping and many restaurants. We loved having breakfast on the second level — the views were amazing. Highly recommend to anyone staying in Taormina!

This property is gorgeous, and extremely lovely. The only issue we had was the staff kept trying to push us to spend money the property. They were persistent we eat at their restaurant, buy drinks, and then accused us of using the mini bar which we did not use. The maid didn’t even check if anything was open, she just assumed which I thought was extremely weird. My husband and I don’t drink, so there was a bottle of wine in the room which was a nice gesture, however we were just curious if we could get something else instead (juice, or anything), no one responded. The room is slightly dated but still lovely nonetheless. Would recommend this hotel to anyone.

The property was amazing, great location, staff was unbelievable! BUT two things they need to improve on. 1st the pool is in very bad condition!! It has black mold in the grout and green algae floating, the pool is incredibly cloudy. As it sits in this lovely spot it needs an overhaul desperately!! The 2nd is the breakfast looked amazing but unfortunately it took over an hour and we had to canx our order. All the tables around us were complaining their food was not coming. It was just eggs. Other than these two complaints the hotel was amazing. Please clean your pool 🙏

Beautiful grounds - pool, outside sitting area and rooftop breakfast location all have spectacular views of the sea. Our "superior" room was in a separate building across the entry courtyard from the main building. The bedroom was on the small side; no view of anything; in lieu of a normal bathtub there was a spa big enough to share with several friends (climbing in and out to shower was a challenge). The room also had a second story bedroom/bath, which had no benefit for the two of us. The hotel is in a quiet location but only a block or two from the principal tourist streets. Valet parking (a must) is 50 Euros/day. All in all, a wonderful place to stay. (Note that to reach the hotel, and the town, from the motorway requires driving up a somewhat steep, narrow winding road - just go slowly if not used to these roads - was only a bit scary when tour busses were headed in the opposite direction!)

The Hotel is well located and within relatively easy walking distance of the night life of Taormina around the historical area. The stay at the hotel was marred by not being able to access the Michelin rated restaurant. Its not like there weren't good options available outside the Hotel but it would have been nice to have been told the place was fully boked when booking the room....this place is not cheap !! I felt a little ripped off to be honest... A final moan.....we were invited for a welcoming drink at the pool and after being walked down to the pool area by the duty manager, we were sniffily informed by the barman that he wasn't ready for us !....this is a 5 star joint !! Besides these issues, we enjoyed the stay and loved the breakfast on the rooftop deck !

The Ashbee is in a great location with regard to the main shopping/dining area in Taormina. My room was essentially next to the main busy road so very loud. The property had their garbage in a dumpster picked up at 4am right outside our room. There is trash and discarded items on the side of the property that you see every time I walked to my room (room 37 deluxe room). There is no dresser or shelves to put away any clothes. The pool is FREEZING and is not heated. Outdoor areas are very sparse and no cushions are provided for balcony areas unless requested. The free breakfast was excellent and served on the roof. Overall, an average property that needs updating and cleanup in a great proximity to the main shopping area of Taormina.

This property must be rated less than one star. Rude and incompetent staff. They stole my hang bag and the manager Francesco did not cooperate or even bother to investigate. He stopped answering my emails and calls when I approached him and till today the case is still open without resolution. They don’t meet the least minimum standards of customer service. They are unsafe and disrespectful today the least. Our 2 other couple friends who stayed there at the same time also had the same awful experience. Unfortunately they ruined our experience at Taormina and highly recommend not to consider staying or dining at this property.
