"Villa Aurora proved to be exactly what our family needed in Rome after 10 days of biking and sightseeing in southern Italy. There was plenty of room for the whole family to spread out and enjoy being in a quiet garden in the city. The location was at the top of Piazza del Popolo, so, easy to walk to lots of historical sights, shopping, and great restaurants nearby. Our host and house keeper met us at the villa when we arrived with a warm welcome and a freshly made fruit tart which the family enjoyed. Spaska, the housekeeper, proved to be a gem for us. She was warm and friendly and was at the villa daily for cleaning service for a couple of hours. The famous Ristorante Alfredo is less than .8 of a mile away of Via del Corso and it didn't disappoint. They invented the Fettucine Alfredo where we first went in 1989 and it still is excellent. Our teen-aged grandchildren who are foodies were impressed. Clemente alla Maddalena was a great lunch out of the hot sunny day and near lots of shopping and on our way to the Pantheon. Waiters were very friendly and the food was first rate if a bit pricey but worth it. Aside from historical sight seeing, eating and shopping, the real savior of our trip was Pat Byrne at Italy Perfect. She saved us by finding this wonderful villa 3 days before we left for Italy when our original apartment with another company cancelled on us. Pat also went the extra mile by sending us tips on sightseeing and some wonderful restaurants too.I have already referred many of our friends to Italy Perfect and I would certainly use Italy Perfect again in the future without hesitation. [We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay! We look forward to welcoming you again! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"I am so glad we booked accommodations with ItalyPerfect! The entire process was so easy and worry-free. Communications with Lisa and Pat were always timely and clear. They called me shortly after booking to let me know a few helpful hints and point me in the direction of resources for our trip. All the information you could possibly need is right there on the website and is easy to find. They helped us book a driver to and from the airport as well as booking tours. Our apartment/flat was lovely and so convenient to everything. ItalyPerfect made Italy a completely worry free experience.My only regret is that I did not find out they also have London properties until after I booked the London half of our trip. Otherwise, I would have booked my entire vacation with Lisa and Pat! [We are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay in Italy! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Colleen, my children and myself are all grateful for the advice and services you gave us in making our trip to the Chianti region of Tuscany so fun, easy and memorable. our stay at Bucine agriturismo was wonderful and all that we wanted, and more! The sisters Mariana & Antonia and the staff were so great, offering hospitality, tips and access to so many fun places and events. First, the 3 bedroom Limonia was perfect for us 5. The pool was big, clean and refreshing. Both breakfast and dinners were tasty and fun. Even loved the nearby town of Bucine and its market. Mariana set us up with 5 tickets to Arrezzo’s Friday night, pre joust neighborhood dinner. So fun and special to be able to get access to such a long standing, local event. Met so many nice Arrezzians. Thanks again for listening to us, interpreting what we wanted into the perfect stay. We would like to return again, while using you as our guide to the right place in the right location. Cannot wait!"

"Wonderful, very clean, very comfortable apartment steps from St Marks Square. Such a lovely experience: we highly recommend the water taxi from the train station to the private dock and the water taxi to the airport. We really appreciated Barbara's help with setting up the taxis and the daily croissants were scrumptious. We were there with our three children and grandparents and there was room for everyone. We had a lovely stay and hope to return!!!"

"From start to finish, our experience with Italy Perfect was perfect. Our stay was a family reunion of 11 people, including a 4.5 year old. There was plenty of room for our group. The grounds are absolutely impeccable - i am involved with golf course management and i have never seen such perfect grass and landscaping. The support staff that came every day did a very good job keeping our place neat. We had asked for snacks and breakfast materials to be there upon our arrival and all was there in great shape. One evening we used a local cook that our greeter arranged and that meal was the best i had in all of Italy. We loved having the pool to cool off after our excursions and it was great having a washing machine there, especially since we had already been travelling for a week. Our greeter was of immense help, particularly as she arranged transportation from the Naples airport at midnight for one of our group. She answered many of our questions over the week and was of immense help. The location was a bit of a challenge for those not used to driving in italy, but once we got the hang of it, it was fine. It fact there was a religious festival (St. Andrew)going on down the street for a few days while we were there, which added to our fun. The views from the decks and the main lawn are absolutely to die for and many evenings were spent overlooking the islands. The dining areas were perfect and the plates/cutlery and glasses were fabulous.Some of the details in the room were so thoughtful - there were wash clothes provided for us Americans, who are used to them, and fresh bars of Dove soap when we arrived. There is good hiking up the hill behind the place and the view from the very top is worth the effort.There are a few restaurants nearby but we weren't exactly clear on where they were - perhaps a little more clarity on that - and some info on when the nearby mini market is open/closed.I absolutely would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone. And, i would recommend Italy Perfect for their service; hope to try to use them again in another place."

"The Cassia apartment was perfection! We are a family of 5, 2 adults and 3 children and the apartment worked great for us. Everyone had their own adorable room and plenty of space to hang out in as well. The private roof top terrace was my favorite. I sat out on it every evening with a glass of prosecco listening to the bells of Venice and looking at the canal, it was magical. The apartment is comfortable and beautifully decorated. The warm daily croissants were and added bonus. The location is 7 minutes from San Marco square, very centrally located but down a quiet alley. They also provide a notebook with restaurant suggestions, which was very helpful. This is our second time renting with Italy Perfect and we will definitely rent again with them, Pat and the crew make it so easy! [Thank you for your great review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay! We look forward to welcoming you again! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"The home we stayed in was lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed it! The daily housekeeping was a wonderful bonus. Everyone on property was exceptionally kind to us and upon arrival they had provided a few necessities as well as a fresh baked pie:) The location of the home is unbelievable...it is in the middle of a park, perched on a hill over looking Rome, it really couldn’t be any better! And the surrounding area is great with grocery stores nearby and a beautiful piazza with shops and dining galore as well as many beautiful old Churches to admire and pray within. My biggest complement however must go to Pat who literally saved my vacation. The property I had originally reserved for Rome was flooded by a pipe bursting and damaging the entire space so 36 hours before I was to leave for Rome I found Pat and she generously took control, found this amazing home for us and arranged a private English speaking driver and very quickly had everything reserved and under control. To me she is an angel in disguise and completely saved a trip that felt doomed! Thank you Pat!! [Thank you. We were delighted to be able to save the situation so you could stay in such a lovely place! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"We shared two apartments with our relatives at this lovely memorable location. Franco was an amazing and kind host and was extremely helpful despite some language difficulties. He even left us a bottle of wine. Our apartment was lovely and spacious and was perfect for four as we had two bathrooms. We had a little difficulty with a couple of the air conditioning units but I think that was because we are not technical! The bedroom was beautiful and we really felt as if we were a part of the apartment community. The building has so much history and the ancient automated entrance door (which did require some patience!) opened onto a lively street, yet the apartment was very quiet.We were central to everything and would definitely come back again! Lisa and Pat of Italy Perfect are extremely detailed oriented and prepared us very well for not only our stay but everything we needed to know about the city and the area we stayed in. Grazie to Franco and his wife for making us feel so welcome. [We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay! We look forward to your return! The Italy Perfect Team]"

We were so pleased with our choice of the Minerva's Treasure apartment. It looks exactly like the photos and our stay got off to a great start with the sweet greeter welcoming us at the apartment, showing us how to use the appliances, explaining things and best of all with a bottle of wine, cookies, juice and a cold bottle of water in the fridge. Great way to start our stay! It was hot in Rome and the A/C worked wonderfully well. Liked having two full bathrooms, they are not large but done in high quality marble, what more can you want when in the best part of the center of Rome! Kitchen was just perfect for us. Supermarket is a short walk & we enjoyed breakfast each morning in the apartment before heading out to explore Rome. Back bedroom is super quiet. Front bedroom and living room get traffic noise from street that parallels the river but Lisa had explained that so we knew to expect it. Favorite neighborhood restaurants were Buca di Ripetta and and Pizza Re. Both just 2 blocks away. Thank you Italy Perfect for a perfect stay in Rome!

This was our second stay at Minerva's Treasure. Love the location, we love to walk so we were up early each morning and walked 4 miles in the Borghese Gardens which is about a 5 minute walk from the apartment, before the heat of the day, such a wonderful way to experience Rome. Also like that there is a taxi stand in nearby Piazza del Popolo, so convenient. Living room is so elegant, and sofa long enough for good naps! Apartment has a good layout and it is in a quality, well maintained building. Also good water pressure in the showers, something that can be problematic in parts of Rome. Can't wait to return again. Grazie Pat, Lisa and Daniela for taking such good care of us!

We absolutely LOVED staying at Borgo. The Tiglio apartment was perfect for our family of 4, my husband and I and our 2 adult children. The setting was idyllic, could not have asked for a better introduction to the Tuscan countryside. The grounds are expansive and a swim in the pool was so refreshing. Our host was incredibly welcoming and so helpful to us in recommending restaurants, and even called around for us to book reservations. We were pleased to find in the kitchen, a welcome basket--bottle of wine, loaf of bread, meat and cheese and of course, olive oil from the estate. We were lucky enough to have the olive oil tasting dinner the first night we arrived. It was such a pleasure to meet the owner, and hear about the estate and the oils produced there. Our stay was much too short as we spent most days exploring the countryside, but it was so nice to come home to Tiglio at the end of the day. The whole time we kept talking about going back with extended family. I would highly recommend this property! We also booked another property with Italy perfect, which was also wonderful. I wouldn't hesitate to book any property through Italy Perfect. It was easy and perfect, start to finish!

"This home was so beautiful and so well located. We could walk to everything we needed to. Very comfortable beds and great bathrooms. They even stocked us with food!"

"We’re just back from a 2-week Italy trip, having spent 4 nights in Rome in Centro Storico. The apartment was very comfortable and spacious for our family of five (although they set the 3rd bed up in the ‘master’ bedroom - which we moved to the living room so everyone had their own space at bedtime. ). The library bedroom is very cute and worked well for our two oldest kids. The apartment describes the 3rd bed as a trundle - so I was expecting a pull-out bed under one of the others, but it is a separate bed they set up, which was probably better for us. The location was really great - we walked everywhere - though I’m not sure I would say everything was a 20-minute walk away. Usually a bit longer, but with so much to see along the path, that wasn’t an issue for us. The restaurants nearby were also very good - several wonderful spots just down the road from us - Mimi E Coco was our absolute favoriate (excellent food) and the pizza place a bit down from there was excellent, as well. Really a wonderful stay in the apartment. We didn’t use the kitchen much (at all) but it seemed well stocked. Everything was clean, comfortable, nice decor. We’d definitely stay here again."

Nice apartment with comfortable living areas located near the Piazza del Popolo. The kitchen is small but fine, especially if you are not going to cook. Only a mokka, a traditional Italian coffee maker. The bedrooms were fine but not really enough places for luggage, so i used the living room area to open my bags. Closets were fine with enough hangers, etc. Could use another lamp in the front bedroom. The air conditioning worked very well and were in each room. Great to have! The Bathrooms were very well designed for the small area they had to use. Everything was on the small side especially the shower but really fine. Easy to access the inside courtyard, used for parking their cars, but it was rather dark outside street entrance at night. Best to take a taxi home at late night if you are a single on your own. The apartment had maps for our use and some info on nearby restaurants which is very helpful for first time visitors in this area of Rome. [Thank you so much for your kind review, Jeanne. We are happy you enjoyed the apartment and location. It is a traditional city apartment so compact in size as you mostly find in Rome. There is an American drip coffee maker, sorry you overlooked it.]

"This was the perfect location and an amazing apartment. Nice to sit outside on the deck for pre-dinner cocktails. We were a party of 6 and everyone had the space they needed. Was wonderful to have a washer and dryer in the apartment and the staff was lovely and helpful. [Thank you for your kind review! We are glad that you enjoyed your stay! The Italy Perfect Team]"
