"The view from the terrace of the Basilica is even better than the pictures on the website. The building is charming, the apartment is very comfortable and close to everything in Florence. The building manager was prompt, explained everything and was available if needed. The views from the terrace especially at sunset were spectacular. Our first evening we were serenaded by a lone violinist playing the most beautiful music in the middle of the piazza. The apartment was quiet at night. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. I would highly recommend staying in any of the apartments in this building. I would most definitely stay here again when in Florence."

"When it came time to book our Tuscany countryside lodging, I contacted Italy Perfect. I booked a Rome apartment 7 years ago and loved the ease of working with Lisa and team. Like the apartment in Rome, the lodging was amazing. The location is postcard perfect, the host Lorena a doll and the accommodations were clean and roomy for our group of 6. The property is perfect for all ages with a pool that has an incredible view of the rolling hills. Try to be onsite for the most beautiful sunsets. The proximity to every town small and large is manageable. Montepulciano is a must for the scenery, wine and food. Thanks again Italy Perfect for making the daunting task of finding the perfect lodging so easy."

"The first thing you will discover with Casetta Bonsi is the incredible location, right in the heart of Florence. It’s perfectly hidden away off a little side street which ensured plenty of privacy during our stay, yet we were mere moments from stunning Ponte Vecchio - definitely one of the most photogenic spots in the city. The moment you walk into the main living area you will find a comfortable sofa, dining table, and TV. The aircon was particularly welcome during our hot July stay. The owners have really considered everything for the perfect vacation: from the useful maps and guidebooks, to the very thoughtful (and delicious!) gift of biscuits on our arrival. On the first floor, along with a very comfortable bedroom, you will find your very own balcony which is a great place to relax and soak up the atmosphere. We recommend having a glass of wine at sunset before you head out for dinner. We could not have wished for a more lovely home away from home during our vacation, and will certainly be booking again with Italy Perfect! [Thank you so much John and Stephanie, we are delighted you enjoyed staying at the Casetta Bonsi! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"Wonderful location overlooking the piazza Santa Croce. We spent lots of time on our top floor balcony admiring Santa Croce to the right and Brunelleschi’s dome and Giotto’s bell Tower to our left. Lots of neighborhood restaurants to choose from and easy walking to the grocery and market. The Santa Croce leather school makes gorgeous leather goods and we enthusiastically supported their efforts. We looked at lots of art and liked being able to walk to all the sights. I would most definitely stay in this apartment again or one in this neighborhood. [Thank you Doris, we are happy you enjoyed your stay! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"My family of 4 enjoyed the Pasquino apartment for 5 days in July 2018. We were met by a very friendly Nancy, who had to meet us later as we arrived later than expected from the car rental across town. She showed us the apartment, which is very spacious, upscale, and comfortable. Even the framed art on the walls was stylish and high quality. Brand new baths are gleaming with gorgeous tile and fixtures, though the shower in the master bath is quite narrow and water pressure is very low. The living and dining rooms have plenty of seating. The apartment building itself is nothing special, and the elevator fits two people (the norm for these old buildings of course). The apartment's location in Rome is its best asset: you can walk from here to anywhere within 20 minutes, even Trastevere, which you should absolutely visit - we had our best meals there. Apartment is directly in the center of Rome, in a safe, beautiful, and lively neighborhood. We walked to Piazza Navona each evening since it is a block away. Great pasaggiatta each evening!Tips for future guests: the apartment is on the 3rd floor , facing a VERY busy street with bars, restaurants, shops, etc. On the weekend there was thumping music until late (2-3am?) and we had trouble staying asleep, despite double-glazed windows and using white noise machines (the windows are double-glazed and the front bedroom is actually soundproofed, but it is a loud, lively street). I would definitely stay here again and recommend enthusiastically if it did not include Friday/Saturday evening stay, unless you don't mind street noise. [Thank you Stephanie, we are happy you enjoyed the location and staying at the Pasquino! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"Having been to Rome many time I decided that when bring my family of 10 along with me I would like them to experience Rome as a local. Since we were traveling during the summer months I want to be away from the crowds of tourists. I could not be happier with my choice of location in the Prati. We had great restaurants, shopping, the Mercato all within easy walking distance and the best gelateria across the street. We could also walk to most major sights. Our apartment was as the name states Elegant and extremely large and impeccably clean and well furnished I would not hesitate to recommend experiencing Rome as a local in the Prati area my advise to anyone staying in this area would be avoid the tourists for dinner and stay local as there are so many great restaurants within walking distance Italy Perfect was a pleasure to work with and offers may great recommendations on guides, restaurants, etc [Thank you Jean, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay!

"We were very pleased with this apartment located just a few minutes from the Duomo and within easy walking distance of sites on both sides of the Arno River. The apartment is spacious and comfortable. The hosts were quite gracious and friendly. What we appreciated most was being about to come back in the afternoon to rest up after our morning's experiences, skip the heat of the afternoon, as well as the crowds, and then head out again in the evening. The bakery and coffee shop, as well as the Pam grocery, all within a block, were also appreciated."

"Everything about my experience with Italy Perfect was exceptional. The booking and check-in processes were very smooth and well-organized. The apartment is located in Piazza di Pasquino, which is a adjacent to Piazza Navona and the Pantheon. It is very nearby major thoroughfares of downtown Rome, but tucked quietly into a very quaint neighborhood of small shops and restaurants. The apartment itself was very spacious, with more than enough room for my family of 5. The rooms were impeccably clean, and the mattresses were all extremely comfortable. I would not hesitate to book this unit again. [Thank you James! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"We had a wonderful time at this property. Our family of six fit perfectly with the layout and amenities of Bucine Limonaia. Marianna was a wonderful host and the location was perfect for day trips in Tuscany. The atmosphere was very peaceful and rejuvenating while allowing easy access to sites in the area. We would have no hesitation staying here again during our next visit to the region. Great memories! [Thank you so much, we are happy you enjoyed your stay! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"We stayed at Divine Dante for 7 nights and had a wonderful time. The villa is located outside of Florence, close to Fiesole, and is absolutely beautiful. Situated on beautifully landscaped, lush grounds the hundreds years old villa was recently(+/- 2 years ago) renovated and has modern conveniences/luxury in an old world setting. We loved the villa and it's spacious, very comfortable bedrooms and en suite bathrooms all on 2nd or 3rd floors. The main floor was beautiful with a very modern, efficient kitchen, large dining room, and sitting rooms, laundry, and a porch. The entire property was very tasteful and well appointed. There is a very helpful, professional house manager who made beds, cleaned rooms, prepared coffee, and was an excellent resource for the villa, the neighborhood, and for Florence. The villa is wonderful but in warm weather the first floor, which is not air conditioned as is the upper floors and does not have screens on all windows, got uncomfortably warm.[We are delighted you enjoyed your stay!

"Our family of 13 arrived in the late afternoon and found the villa beautiful, well appointed and very clean. There are three staircases that led to different parts of the house-all completely detached from one another. My 82 year old mother was able to reach her bedroom, aided by a handrail on her steps and the children's rooms were far enough away to the adult's rooms to ensure quiet evenings. Sheets on the beds were wonderful and all said beds were comfy. We all enjoyed long walks up and down the nearby hills, the mass in an ancient church closeby, as well as dinner at La Foresteria, a truly magical spot near the church overlooking a bluff. We were the only diners and adored the dinner and service. All in all, our week was magical and the location was perfect. The funnicular ride up to Montecatini Alto was one of our favorite excursions. Our chefs were the daughter and son in law of the owners. The food was fine but not amazing. We didn’t use much air conditioning but it was, as advised, billed separately. All of the extra charges were collected in cash on check out. We were short so had to run around. [We are delighted you had such a nice stay and experience. The Italy Perfect Team.]"

"The apartment was spacious and clean and perfect for a family of five. The owners could not have been nicer. They took the time to explain everything and provided a map of the city. The best part of the apartment was the location. It was perfect! It was centerally locates and a few minutes walk from everything. We were extremely happy!

Perfect spot for our family for a week in Rome! We were met at the apartment by Daniela and she was extremely helpful with information about the apartment and the area, Everything was very clean and the apartment was well appointed. Perfect spot to return to after sightseeing in the area. Best part was a great restaurant called Casa just right outside the door. Highly recommend it if you stay at this spot.

"The update is excellent. The unit and staff were great. We had no issue with noise. The unit has both rooms enclosed and a glass panel window to further assist with those late night parties.we did not hear anyone. Our niece and husband sleep in front room on fold out and they had no trouble with noise( this seem to be a concern we read about before arriving.) The location is great, perfect with out the extreme crowds of the duomo. We would stay again. In a minute. Italyperfect was also very helpful and responsive to any needs, requests and upfront on all other fees we might entail. Italy tax fee,electric , gas and air conditioning was not included. It is reasonable if you don’t act like your in the Marriott and want to return to a cold room regardless of if your gone all day. All in all , excellent experience!

"We returned to Serenata this year and were, once again, delighted by our accommodations. There were three of us and we had quite enough room. The apartment was well appointed, spacious and very clean. The views are truly incredible. We were treated to passing gondolieri who had a variety of guests from a soprano singer with a lovely voice to a tenor accompanied by an accordion player. Our greeter, Paola, was a wealth of information and walked me to her favourite prosciutto/cheese shop – fantastico! Wonderful shops, fabulous restaurants, grocery store and many of the exquisite sites Venice has to offer are all within a few minutes walking distance. Thank you to Pat and all at Italy Perfect for making our stay in Venezia more memorable than the last.

"If you love a tranquil setting in the country, set in the midst of medieval villages, fortresses and castles, this is a perfect place for your family vacation. After spending four days in the heat and bustle of Rome, Riposa Verde was a heavenly respite with it's cool breezes, gorgeous olive trees, and swimming pool. The nearby town of San Casciano Dei Bagni could not be more charming with it's own castle and delicious little stores. Our favorite days started off by going into town and bringing back pastries, honey, cheese, salami, raviolis and fruit from the delightful, little Italian specialty stores. Days were sprinkled with road trips to nearby sights and lounging by the pool, reading books. Favorite day trips included visiting Siena, Orvieto, Assisi (recommend stopping in Solomeo and Deruta along the way), Pienza, climbing the medieval tower of Radicofani, and a gorgeous drive for a beach day in Monte Argentario, stopping in Pitigliano along the way. At night, we were treated to the best dinner of our lives at the Fighini Castle up the road. Worth it to order the seven course dinner. Ristorante Daniela and La Fontanella are not to be missed. On Saturdays/Sundays, lunch at Santa Chiara in Sarteano was fantastic. But maybe the best part of all, was coming home to dinners prepared by Eleonora. Such a very special place to spend a magical time with your family![Thank you Jana, we are delighted you enjoyed your stay! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"What a terrific property! Pasquino is first of all located perfectly. It's a 20 minute walk to either the Vatican or the Coliseum. About 10 minutes to the Pantheon. Never needed cabs or public transportation. It's tucked away in a small piazza with loads of shops and restaurants. Noise was never a factor even on a Saturday night. This was our first trip to Rome and we were intrigued to find it a culture not of main boulevards but of alleys all creating a maze of restaurants and shops to explore and enjoy. Recommend Virginiae restaurant close by. The apartment itself is very spacious and well appointed. Very nice kitchen where we cooked breakfast each morning. Good small grocery very near. Matteo, our greeter, communicated promptly and was waiting for us when we arrived from the train station. This was our 2nd experience renting from Italy Perfect as we also rented an apartment from them in Florence. They are perfect to rent from - terrific, professional and complete communication from reservation to check-in. Very helpful for first time travelers to Italy. We will definitely rent from Italy Perfect and its sister companies again.[Thank you so much, we are happy you enjoyed your stay! The Italy Perfect Team]"
