6/10 Good

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.
Shani, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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.

This was our second time staying at the Ashbee hotel. Gorgeous boutique hotel. Perfect location. Beautiful property. Nice rooms. Great staff. We will start here every time we come back.
Darioush, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!
