Property is great. If you need groceries, get them before you head up the hill.

Beautiful view. Very clean and a great host. Met us down the hill and had us follow him to the house. Would love to come back.

It is on a steep hill so walking to it was a bit of a challenge, but not the owner's fault! And of course, the steep climb is what resulted in the great view. I would just say that someone with mobility issues would not like the walk to this apartment.

Donnaberarda was a great location for us to visit our daughter who is studying for the semester at UGA Cortona. The apartment was large and clean and had everything we needed. The views from the bedrooms and back balcony were unbeatable. We enjoyed watching the sunset with a glass of wine each night. We loved how close it was to the main streets and squares and were able to walk to all the Cortona sites, restaurants and market. Paolo met us to let us in and was very friendly and responsive.

It was a little more difficult to climb the hill than 5 years ago lol!!

We love the view from the balcony. The apartment is so charming and comfortable with close proximity to the town centre.

Robes would have been nice to have.

Everything! Clean, well equipped, incredible views, beautifully furnished, the largest and softest bath towels ever, crisp white bed sheets. This place is like a 5 star hotel.

The accommodation was superb, with spacious high ceiling rooms and balcony with panoramic views to Lake Trasimeno and beyond. It is well placed for the access to Cortona and there is free car park literally a two minute walk further up the hill from the accommodation. The walk to the accommodation is steep from the Via Nazionale, and your heart is well exercised especially after dinner or lunch at one the many restaurants available. Highly recommended.

Gorgeous Tuscan view out of the bedrooms, living room and terrace. Big kitchen, well equipped. 2 bathrooms, one with shower one bath tub. Washer in bathroom which worked well. Drying rack for clothes. It is a bit of a climb to get to it, but your in Cortona. Almost anywhere you go there is a climb. The climb is well worth it. The apartment is flat but there are stairs leading up to it from the street. Paolo went the extra mile with his service. Would rent again in a minute.

Loved everything

Perfect property, large enough for 3 families and very comfortable. It has every facility that you would need. The owners / staff are amazing, kind and genuinely want you to have the best experience . We also used their hotel in the country which was also perfect for nice relaxing days and simple lunch. Hopefully one day we will go back

Beautiful apartment in a great location. Easy to get to the city center but in a quiet area just up the hill. There was plenty of space and the property was well maintained.

We liked it all, even though the distance to and the accessibility of the train station was not convenient. We knew this beforehand, but be prepared for the very hilly cobble-stoned streets of Cortona; some are not for the faint of heart. Just take it easy going up and down...

Our experience at Donaberarda was exceptional. Paola sent a taxi (driven/owned by Angelo - definitely worth the 20 euros) to pick us up at the Camucia-Cortona train station. He also arranged for our taxi for our return to the station when when we departed for Florence. We recommend this as the best option for access to the train station to and from the apartment. The walk is probably not a good choice due to the lack of sidewalks, the narrow streets, and the uphill nature of the terrain from the station. We walked everywhere (about 170 miles) in Italy for a month, but we were happy that we did take a taxi in Cortona. Paola was very welcoming and showed us which keys to use to access the building and the apartment. He then gave us a thorough tour of the apartment and its amenities. The spacious kitchen contained everything we needed to prepare meals and coffee. One exception: the corkscrew was broken, most likely by a previous guest. The view from the terrace/patio overlooking the valley and Lake Trasimeno in the distance was spectacular and awe-inspiring. The bedrooms were large and comfortable with sensational window views of the valley below. There were two excellent, spotlessly clean bathrooms. We would highly recommend the Donnaberarda apartment, and Cortona with its ample selection of restaurants and shops. Definitely, one of the top three (out of eight) lodgings we had during our 28-day trip. Thank you, Paola, for providing such a grand apartment and hospitality.

Loved staying at this beautiful apartment once again. Will always be our go-to place in Cortona! Lots of room and a great location with beautiful views!

Incredible place! Two bedroom apartment with big kitchen, living room, balcony, and two bathrooms (one with shower, one with tub). Absolutely amazing views. Very comfortable and an easy walk from all the sights. I would go again over and over.

Nothing whatsoever. We only had 2 nights, there but would have loved to have stayed longer if we had the time.

Excellent apartment in superb location fitted out to a very high standard. We had everything we could have wished for. The views are amazing. The host was extremely helpful and showed us how to get there through the narrow Cortona streets by following him. Although I knew where it was from Google Earth, there was no way I could have got there with following him, as the street is one way, ‘down only’. We were able to park right outside, even though there is a car park up the road beside the house as an alternative. We also used the pool at the sister property a few Kms away, which was nice to cool off in the hot weather. Highly recommended.

a steep climb which, although it didn’t bother me at all, may not suit everyone.

beautiful views from the balcony and the apartment is so gracious and well laid out.

Drive through town to get to apartment was through ancient streets that were very narrow. Barley made it through tight spaces with our Citroen SUV.

Very spacious rooms. Very clean. Amazing terrace with views to Montepulciano. Roomy kitchen. Easy to use washing machine. Marco was very responsive and helpful and spoke perfect English.
