We had a wonderful stay at Donnamarie's. The studio was very clean and spacious when we arrived as well as having plenty of ammenities, e.g. food, beach towels, parasols. Donnamarie's friend, Natalina, was very kind to meet us at the bus station and drive us up to the apartment. It is high up the hill, which means there are plenty of stairs to walk up and down but the view is amazing. Waking up early to watch the sunrise is something special. To get to the beach, we walked down the hill for about 20 mins and then took the cable car down to Isola Bella. There are buses that go to and from the apartment although they are quite infrequent and unreliable. If you are prepared to walk up and down the hill, then this place is totally worth it!
