The Ashbee Hotel, a splendid five-star retreat in a 1908 Sicilian villa in Taormina's vibrant heart, enchants with its Arts and Crafts elegance, designed by C.R. Ashbee, offering serene sophistication steps from the Greek Amphitheatre and Corso Umberto's chic boutiques.

The 24 rooms and suites unfold with graceful charm, featuring air-conditioned comfort, satellite TVs, free WiFi, minibars, and private bathrooms with plush bathrobes, slippers, and premium toiletries. Spacious and bright, with English-inspired decor, each room frames unique views of lush gardens, the Ionian Sea, or Nebrodi Mountains. Attentive staff orchestrate seamless experiences, from curated tours to San Pancrazio Church to warm concierge welcomes, fostering a sense of belonging amid Taormina's radiant pulse.

Dining at St. George Restaurant by Heinz Beck captivates with gourmet Sicilian cuisine, from fresh seafood ravioli to citrus-infused desserts, savoured in an elegant setting or on a garden terrace. The bar and tea room serve artisanal cocktails and delicate pastries, perfect for afternoon repose. A daily breakfast buffet brims with local cannoli, fresh fruits, and espresso. Guests can immerse in curated experiences, from exploring Taormina's ancient theatres to strolling its historic lanes, capturing Sicily's timeless rhythm with effortless grace.

Nestled 100 meters from the Greek Amphitheatre and moments from Corso Umberto I, with Catania Airport a scenic drive away, The Ashbee Hotel offers seamless access with free WiFi. A large garden, outdoor pool, and tea room elevate the experience, ensuring serene renewal in a setting of historic splendor.
