A centenarian park, one of the most beautiful historical centers of Sicily and a view that embraces the Ionian Sea and its coasts: these are the unique coordinates of The Ashbee Hotel. Its enviable position allows you to enjoy the beauties of the city of Taormina and, at the same time, cut out the privacy and relax at the generous citrus grove that surrounds the hotel.

Hotel
The 1900 luxurious villa that now houses the boutique hotel, brings the signature of the architect Charles Robert Ashbee, an icon of the londonese Arts & Craft. The hotel pays homage with its name to the unique work of art, a style that comes from a different culture, but that blends with the architectural elements typical of the greek-sicilian style. The Ashbee Hotel was born from the careful renovation that preserves the original materials and furnishings. The rooms are elegant and refined with paintings, decorations and stone fireplaces. The large panoramic terrace, swimming pool and the park characterize the exteriors of the Hotel.
