My husband and I absolutely loved our stay at the Ashbee.
The hotel itself is on beautiful grounds, so even if you are not interested in exploring the Taormina area you will be happy with the views you find at the hotel. But if you do want to explore, it is in the perfect location. Not right in the busy walking streets of the old town, but close enough that all you need is 5-10 minutes to get to any restaurant you want to get to in that area.
The breakfast was delicious, and with so many options we had a hard time deciding what to have every day.
The service was exceptional, from the front desk staff, to the breakfast staff, to the cleaning staff, they are really on top of everything and will go out of their way to make sure you are enjoying your stay.
We also highly recommend having dinner at the St George restaurant while you are there. This was my husband and my first Michelin star experience, and we were not disappointed. Not only was the food amazing, but the service was unparalleled.
Just stay here, you will be pleased with your decision.
