Amazing location with everything we needed in the kitchen. Comfortable and warm.
Extractor fan in the bathroom didn’t work. Balcony a bit wobbly underfoot and needs a good clean (bird poo etc).

Good location - close to beach and the town centre.
Spacious apartment - good views to catch the sunset from the balcony.
It would have been better if more information about picking up the keys could be explained when booking as the pickup/drop-off point is quite a distance from the property. If you were coming by public transport it would be a fair trek.
Whilst we were there there was scaffolding up on the building - I think it would have been better if we had been pre-warned of this. It didn't affect our stay but it is off-putting when you first arrive.

Loved its location and nice and clean. Communication very good, staff very helpful
Lack of utensils for cooking, a small kitchen table would fit with chairs so could eat at a table and a 4th comfy chair would be helpful. Blind in spare room a bit dodgy

The view was lovely, the flat was very quiet and comfortable. There was an issue with the heating which was resolved for within 30 minutes of contacting Donnini, The wine bottle opener was also missing and again was replaced within 30 minutes of contacting Donnini, it was v impressive.
There was nothing not to like

Location and view were great
Property was tired and in dis-repair - bathroom fans did not work, door handles were coming off, no furniture on balcony, wifi passwords etc were wrong in donnini guide, front door did not work most of the time. window locks on front window were hard to open, holes in walls

The sea view , apartment was really cosy for myself and my family. Would return
The kitchen could have been cleaned better for our arrival, more basic cleaning products were needed, no recycle bags bin bags or food bin bags supplied either.

Immaculately clean, very spacious rooms.
Warm, comfortable and amazing views
An upgrade on the tv would be nice as small and sound not great.

Great flat
5.0 / 10.0
lovely views over the bay. comfortable bed and lovely and quiet.
Problems connecting to WiFi on arrival which took 2 hours to realise that the instructions in the book in the flat, were completely different from the information sent by email.
The shower screen in the bathroom doesn’t stop the water pouring onto the floor and has clearly been flooded several times.
Not the cleanest I’ve been in either. Towel rail in en suite thick with dust and bathroom shelf clearly only had a a wipe over as corner thick too.
Covid clean it is definitely not getting.
For what it costs to stay here, I’d have expected better.

The location was beautiful, the sea view was amazing, the rooms were clean and neat. I appreciated Donninni's contact services as they were available till quite late.
The kitchen lacked basic supplies like salt and pepper. We had to get these which shouldn't really be something we need to get. Soap and shampoos etc were missing from the main bath. The beds were not very comfortable, in the main bedroom two single beds were joined together to make a double bed. They could be improved.

Great position right by beach with great views.
Second bedroom a bit cramped. Could do with more glasses for spirits and Prosecco.

Location is perfectly placed for the beach, high street, the old town.
In desperate need of an upgrade. Door handles broken, lots if ingrained mould in the bathrooms, greasy kitchen, balcony bare, bath panel peeling, bathroom bins falling to pieces, extractor fans full of dust, chipped paint, dirty marks on walls and door frames, double glazing clearly in need of replacing. Heating wouldn't work and reported it at 09:20. It was all sorted by the time we returned to the apartment so that was good.

Rubbish left in kitchen bin even though ‘Covid’ cleaning had take place. 4 adults but only 2 chairs for kitchen table. Poor kitchen equipment ( no corkscrew) amongst other things.

The location was excellent.the property was clean.
the bathroom door handle was loose and subsequently fell off leaving screws loose.we spent a lot out time out with the property but had to prop it open with a towel fixing it was offered however.A deeper clean of the glass tables,coffee tables etc is required.

Location was great.
Finding correct place to collect keys was a little tricky and then the right building!
However, not a major issue.

Eigentlich gut ausgestattet und geräumig
Gerüst hat den Ausblick aufs Meer gestört, Teile davon sind beim Sturm rumgeflogen. Balkon war sehr dreckig (Möwen...). Waschmaschine hat auch nicht funktioniert und ist einmal komplett ausgelaufen...
