Hotels near Donnas Station

"Staying in a true stone castle, with a tower, wrought iron door hardware, frescoes, and excellent accommodations was amazing enough, but to share the spaces with the ghosts of Rosario Scalero's esteemed students of music and walk the trails of the pilgrims from Canterbury to Rome conjured up a special magic for our group of 8 music, food, and wine-loving Midwesterners. Karl was an excellent host with his local team of Moreno and Giulia, helping us discover the wonders of the region and the friendly village at the castle's base. The one item that should noted for other castle-lodgers that was not apparent to us in the listing is the difficulty of hauling luggage by hand up and down the steep winding and stony path or several hundred stairs - ultimately worthwhile for most of our group, but very limiting to one or two members with mobility issues. Those with adequate fitness can plan ahead for packing mainly essentials, but those for whom rigorous daily climbs would be challenging should think twice. Nevertheless, the majority of our group would enthusiastically hope to return some day, definitely worthy of the effort! "

"The apartment is located in a beautiful Medieval Village in the Aosta Valley at the base of the Bard Fortress. There is convenient parking with a few excellent restaurants within walking distance. Marta, the property manager, was very accommodating and responsive- we enjoyed spending time with her. The stairs to and in the apartment are challenging for older adults or handicapped.We thoroughly enjoyed our Piemonte stay. "

"Everyone was so nice and helpful. The food was amazing! We are SO glad we stayed here."

"The room was next to a busy road, but I was able to sleep well because of tiredness. Anyone walking the Via Francigena should be tired enough to sleep through an explosion. 😇 It’s only 9 mins walk from the train station (bus-substitute trains run often.) It is 19 minutes downhill walk from the Roman bridge at Pont Saint Martin. The only thing I didn’t like about the property was how difficult it was to lock the shared bathroom. Please don't wait until you really have to go as the lock may or may not work on first try, or if at all."

"Breakfast was amazing !"

"Very clean. Thoughtful hosts (left a high chair for our youngest, a lovely gift bag including toys for the kids and drinks / jams / biscuits). Nothing to fault. Perfect stay. Would very happily return. Nice and quiet, yet close to shops and things to do. "

"Breakfast is very good! Lady hostess is kind enough to drive me to train station."
