Luxury hotels and resorts

We just arrived home after 2 weeks at the glorious Luxury Residence Taormina, and the apartment was perfect for our family. We were met by Mr Fabbiano who was always on hand if needed ( but never was !) and the remainder of our stay was faultless. The 2 bedroom apartment we booked was spacious for the 5 of us, a kitchen , large bathroom and enough room for everyone to be comfortable. A laundry , which is always required during a long stay and a beautiful view from the terrace where we could enjoy our meals or just sit in the sun. The weather was not always suitable for the beach and the beautiful indoor pool area was a wonderful inviting feature to this apartment accommodation. The location was very peaceful and a walk up the hill to the carpark entrance at Porta Catania and then the lift to central Taormina. Close yet far enough to enjoy everything that Taormina has to offer. We hired a car and payed for parking at the carpark but well worth it as its safe and close enough, and as we used it most days while there, Luxury Residence was always welcoming and relaxing when we returned from various excursions around Sicily. I would definately stay here again if ever I am fortunate to return and would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone who enjoys space, beautiful surroundings, and the features that a self contained apartment offers. You must be able to walk a few hundred metres to get to Taormina, however we managed the walk, day and nights as it felt very safe and a good way to walk off the delicious pizza, gelato and sweets available in Taormina. The pool area is also very convenient as my children would preferred the pool to the beach especially when weather wasn't suitable for the trek to the beach. The view was breathtakingly beautiful as well. Did I mention the apartments were also spotlessly clean. Overall, a great place to stay in Taormina, a central location if you want a base in Sicily and a truly wonderful experience for our family of 2 adults and 3 children, ages 15, 12 and 8 years.

The car parking arrangement, while well understood given the physical layout of the Resort, is somewhat awkward and can be time consuming. However, we were impressed the day we departed that our car was brought to the main building without being specifically requested. The signage along the roads in the vicinity of the Resort to guide guests to the Resort are very helpful. The Concierge was particularly helpful with making changes to some of our hotel and airline reservations.

beautiful location in between the citrus trees. you have to try the restaurant, it is 1 star Michelin and we really enjoyed the dinner. each dish was top quality.

Our stay at Ashbee was absolutely fantastic. The hotel and view of the ocean and city was very beautiful! The location is perfect, easy to walk to the main street... Every staff member was very courteous, polite and friendly. Thanks to everyone who made our stay a great one! Francesco, Roberta, Anete, Luigi, Valerio, and many others! (Sorry if I forgot anyone, so many names to remember). Ask for restaurant tips, we went three times to the same restaurant Francesco pointed to us. Breakfast was amazing, and Dinner at St. George was also very special. We'll hopefully come back soon! Best, Carla & Felipe
