"Superior location. You feel like you're staying at your Italian grandmother's home which is a lovely feeling."

"From the moment of our greeting by Paola on our arrival, to the day we returned the key to her a week later everything about our stay in Serenata was perfect. The apartment has every accommodation you could possibly need to completely relax and enjoy your holiday and is perfectly located in the very special city of Venezia. You will be enchanted by the views and the sounds on the roof deck overlooking the canals - it was hard to leave it.If you are a couple headed to Venice for a holiday and you want a perfect experience, then this is the place to stay. Working with Italy-Perfect was a delight.Ciao. [We are delighted that you enjoyed staying at the Serenata! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"What a magnificent position, overlooking the Grand Canal and 100metres from San Marco Square. Once again, well appointed, we were not wanting for anything. The service provided by your agent was superb, both he and his wife were very helpful. As usual, The 'Perfect' accommodation is perfect. Well worth the extra cost. [Thank you Colin! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"A beautiful apartment, well appointed and in an excellent location for walking around Venice Like ALL 'Perfect' apartments we have stayed in, they clean and well maintained . Our arrival by boat from Venice airport was perfect, our boat was waiting for us, the owner was there to meet us at the Menta dock and his wife were very helpful throughout our stay. [Thank you Colin! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"The location is amazing! Close to everything and yet amazingly quiet at night. It is a lovely bright and airy apartment. Daniella was wonderful, helpful and efficient. The only negative was the shower which would be easier to use if you could hang the shower arm/head from something! We had a great tour of the Vatican and St. Peters with our guide Cristina (recommended by Italy Perfect) who was incredibly knowledgeable and able to keep us all engaged for several hours and avoided many long queues.[Thank you Arabella, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay!

"We couldn't recommend the apartment more highly. It is beautifully decorated, well equipped and in a brilliant central location. The service was wonderful, Elvira produced amazing croissants every morning and Christina was super efficient and very helpful with recommendations for things to see and where to eat.We loved Zucca for a delicious family meal and the challenge of navigating our way there in the dark!

"My wife and I spent four nights in the Michaela apartment, and greatly enjoyed our stay. The apartment was neat and clean, and the location was perfect for touring Florence, and was an easy walk to the train station for touring other cities in the region. The owners son met us as arranged and walked us through the entire apartment. He spoke very good English and was very welcoming. The apartment is perfect sized for 2 -4 people, with one bedroom, two bathrooms, a small living room and a simple kitchen and dining table. It's three flights of stairs to walk, and there's a lift for those who don't want to. The apartment was fairly quiet except for the bakery down below. They start work very early in the morning, and while it could get noisy, it never really bothered us. We will definitely stay here again. [We are pleased you greatly enjoyed staying at Michaela!

".....for a magnificent stay in Venice. The apartment, location, logistics and staff were all beyond expectations. My family could not have asked for anything better. And how ironic that Tracy has met your son in our Beacon Hill neighborhood. We have already recommended your services to friends. And we will be back in touch for our next trip."

"Italy Perfect was recommended to my husband and I, by friends who do quite a bit of travelling.We were extremely happy with our accommodations, the staff and its location. Italy Perfect answered all of our questions and took on a concierge role for anything requiring reservations in advance. This enabled us to save valuable time and hit the ground running. If we have the opportunity to go back to Italy, we look forward to using Italy Perfect again. [Thank you Lynn, we look forward to you welcoming you again! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"We recently stayed in Serenata on our first visit to Venice. We were met by Paola (actually she had to find us wandering around since we were lost) who was charming and explained everything we needed to know about the apartment. She even took us on a little tour of the immediate area and taught us how to get to the grocery store. She also helped us arrange for a water taxi to take us to the airport for our very early flight home. The apartment was lovely and spotlessly clean. It had everything we needed to be comfortable during our stay. The altana was our favorite spot for wine and cheese as the sun went down. The apartment was very centrally located and convenient to all Venice activities and sights. Rossopommodoro was just around the corner for a casual inexpensive meal. We enjoyed our dinner at Osteria San Marco very much. We loved Venice and the cultural and historic richness it offered. We hope to return.

"After staying a week in Florence,we rented a car and drove to our villa Bucine Belvedere. Our intention was to use this location as our base as we explored surrounding Tuscan cities and villages. The location of the villa was a bit more remote than we had anticipated. After leaving the paved roads,you travel a gravel road in order to arrive at the villa. The surroundings were breathtaking. With the Appenine Mountains as a backdrop,you overlook lush vineyards and a fishing lake. When walking the paths,you are amazed by the awesomeness of the scenery and the eerie ( but welcomed) quietness of this spot. There are a number of old buildings left from the 1500 and a beautiful castle looming above the villa.Our separate villa was charming,with a terrace overlooking plum trees,olive trees and a giant rosemary bush. The pool.a short walk away,was glistening and spotless. The inside of our villa was rustic and clean and very comfortable. The main building contained a bar area,a cozy and large living room and a kitchen and dining area if you wanted to have your meals there. Best of all were the people on the premises. The woman who cooked our meals did a great job and we enjoyed practicing our Italian as we conversed with her. The meals were amazing and so beautifully prepared.A young woman on the premises was very helpful in suggesting where to explore and how to get to our locations. There is a Coop close by so you can shop for what you need . On one of our return trips from Siena we came across a wonderful family restaurant,frequented by many locals called IL Bivacco. We went back several times and would highly recommend it. Wonderful food and authentic local atmosphere. We think that Bucine Belvedere was wonderful as was our treatment while we were there, The only drawback for some might be the remoteness of the location,but it's beauty and it's people transcends that only drawback. Again,thanks to Italy Perfect for the recommendation. [We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and we appreciate that you come back to Italy Perfect year after year. The short, 1.8 mile partially paved road may have seemed like quite a distance when you first drove it but we see that you noted that the grocery store in the nearby village was close, so you got comfortable with the short ride off the main road. With the town only a few minutes drive away you might have felt like it was remote because it is in a tranquil location, yet it is a very quite close to town. The Italy Perfect Team]"

"We really enjoyed our stay. Located in the cultural heart of Florence. Any of the well known locations, such as the Uffizi, the Duomo, the Accademia, and the Arno river are just minutes away. Yet when you come back to the apartment from all the hustle and bustle, you feel you are back home. Safe and quiet. The hosts Marco and Miki were absolutely fabulous.Very comfortable apartment. Spacious. Well appointed. Great WiFi. Could use a table fan in the bedroom especially in the summer months. We did think it was a bit overpriced. [We are pleased you enjoyed staying at the Strozzi and sorry you didn't ask for a fan as the air conditioner can be set to fan-only mode as well. The Italy Perfect Team]"

"Our one week stay at the Menta apartment was very comfortable, including beds and rooms to relax in the living room. The location is very central and within easy walking distance to key sites as well as the water transportation.The Staff was professional and helpful. We departed our Cruise Ship at 9 AM and arrived at the apartment around 10 AM. They were cleaning the apartment and we did not expect to get in until 2 PM - the designated arrival time. However, they told us to come back at 11:30 AM and we could get into the apartment - a very nice gesture on their part. Only a couple of suggestions for improvements come to mind: 1. The apartment is stocked with bread, butter, water, coffee, sugar, oil and vinegar. We ran out of bread and asked for it to be replenished - but it was not. 2. Our departure was 7 AM (via water taxi) and we were told to pay the staff 20 Euro in cash for opening the portal to the dock. That was a bit of a surprise to us. 3. We used the oven a couple of times and it took some time to figure out how to used it. We recommend that instructions be provided. As for Grocery stores there are 2 stores close to the Rialto Bridge. They are a little further than the one in the directions provided, but they seem to have a larger selection. Also, the Valetta stops are conveniently close to the stores. [We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at the Menta apartment. We are very sorry you did not see in the terms the €20 fee for having one of the staff get up early to open the door to the dock for water taxi departure before 7:30 am. The starter supply of complinentary breakfast items is to get you through the first morning or two. Guests are responsible for buying additional groceries, or can have the housekeeper grocery shop for an additional fee. Thank you very much for your business, it was a pleasure woking with you.

"The apartment has charm and character and is in a great central location. It's also just a few minutes from the train station for venturing further afield. The kitchen is very well equipped if you want to cook and the apartment comes with a comprehensive photo guide showing how everything works. The owners are warm and welcoming and happy to share local information. There is some street noise at night, particularly at weekends, but the double glazed window in the main bedroom blocks it out very effectively. Highly recommended."

"The apartment was well-located within walking distance of most places we wanted to visit. Maurizio was extremely helpful with directions to our cab driver to get around some construction and deliver us to the apartment, as well as having a cab deliver us to the train station. The size was perfect and the neighborhood quiet. We enjoyed our stay there very much. [Thank you Gene and Gloria! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"We recently did an adult family vacation to Italy. We had eight adults. We were thinking at our first stop we would do hotels in Rome however saw an option to do something nicer. The four and a half bedroom apartment with kitchen, living room, and dining room we secured with Italy Perfect was quite nice. The place was as advertised and all of us were happy there. One thing however to think about as we had some older folks is that in this case you had to carry the suitcases yourselves up steps, so make sure you can do that prior to going this route.We were in Prati area, nice to be able to get out and walk to so much, including all our dining, Vatican, and also a bit more but some of us were able to use the apartment as launch to many Rome sites. This isn't a value option as it cost as much or more than getting hotels, however it was nice to be able to sit around each day as a group. Would recommend Italy Perfect. [Thank you so much for your review. As you say, this is nicer than a hotel of comparable price with so much space, large living rooms and dining room where all of you could gather that you wouldn't find in any hotel even at a higher price. The price/room/night is less than that of the 4 star hotel across the street. It does reflect high quality. So sorry you didn't read the information about the one flight of steps up to the elevator several places in the description, that is why we called you and mentioned it. When we talked to you about it, you said that all members of your group could handle that. We always offer to order a driver service with a driver who can carry your luggage or the houseman is available to do that.]"

"The Appartement is in perfect condition and tastefully equipped. We missed nothing and have had a warm welcome with a big bunch of flowers. The apartment is located perfectly to reach quite every hotspot of sightseeing by foot. We enjoyed the warm evenings with wine and cheese on the terrace with the gondolierie criscrossing and singing down on the channel junction. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!![We are pleased you enjoyed your stay! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"Our stay at the Giotto apartment was perfect, to say the least. The idea of staying in a place that was built before America was ever discovered was a great experience. The Calcio Storico game was a great experience. Besides the game, the events preceding the game provided us with a great historical lesson. The service of Italy Perfect was perfect. We would have never experienced a vacation of a life time without Italy Perfect. Italy Perfect made our vacation complete. [Thank you so much, Paul, we were so excited to help you organize your trip and to get you to Florence in an apartment with a view of the game. You can't even get tickets to it...the locals get them all, so you had the best seat in the house! Come again! The Italy Perfect Team]"
