Everything was great - staff were super friendly and accommodating. The property is beautiful and centrally located. Breakfast in the morning was delicious. Few minute walk to all the bars, restaurants and the tram that takes you to the beaches. Room is spacious but we wish there were a dresser with drawers. Highly recommend.

Located just outside Messina Gate, location is quiet but quick access to Corso and not far from funicular. Attentive, friendly staff. Nice breakfast on the roof level. Hotel has a Michelin 2 star restaurant (which we did not dine at-- didn't realize prior to check -in and we had other plans). Recommend highly!

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!
