"If you're looking for a luxurious, elegant and very comfortable villa on a hillside in Tuscany with magnificent views, centrally located with a huge pool overlooking the valley, then Regina Alta is for you! This estate is truly magnificent, a wonderful home to entertain and relax in. The photos on the Italy Perfect website will show you exactly how it looks. The furnishings and architecture are marvelous. I've stayed in a number of Italy Perfect offerings over the years and this one lives up to their excellent standards. It's located within easy driving times to many outstanding locales, (Lucca is nearby), including the charming hillside village Montecatini Alto only 10 minutes away (take the funicular up to the top). Its a perfect base from which to explore the region....although you may be tempted to simply stay at the villa with a glass of wine by the pool soaking in the gorgeous views. 5 Stars!!!"

"Spent a fantastic fall vacation at Regina Alta with a couple of girlfriends. Wonderful stay, loved the location and hospitality of the greeter. Lisa at Italy Perfect was super helpful and informative during the reservation process."

"We were beyond ecstatic with our recent trip to Venice with Italy Perfect during Christmas 2016. In 2009 we visited a Paris Perfect property that was beyond gorgeous as well. Both of our experiences were beyond perfect. Our apartment in Venice was absolutely wonderful. The location was ideal and the maid service was spectacular. The villa was turn key beautiful and the kitchen was immaculate and provided all needed supplies for creating fabulous meals . We are willing to refer your company to any client or individual. We highly recommend the private service for arrival and departure to the airport . The vans and taxi boats and drivers were impeccable and more than met our expectations. If you need more details about our experience I would be more than happy to write them. We would rate your properties at above 100 percent . Words can't even express the amount of time and value Pat contributed to ensuring our last minute experience would be more than perfect .Beyond grateful [Thank you so much Lisa, we are delighted that you had a wonderful time!

"Our stay during November was magical. Loved being in Tuscany during beautiful fall weather. Villa Riposo Verde was everything we had hoped it would be...and more! The greeter was courteous and helpful and the location was beautiful. Loved the little town nearby, San Casciano dei Bagni, very picturesque. Had a memorable meal one everything at Daniela's restaurant, she was so sweet and accommodating, even treating us to a free appetizer and after-dinner sweets. Loved our stay!"

I rented Luna for a week to explore the area, with my son who was on fall break from his study abroad program in Florence. It was a perfect little oasis of peace for some restful days, and a well-located base for exploring the area. We were glad we had a car, because although we tried the buses, we ended up walking a lot because we couldn't always figure out the system. And trains that service the area were not running on "our" schedule. The location of Luna is great for running into Naples, Herculaneum, Pompei, and Mt Vesuvius. In the other direction, Sorrento is close (and walkable), and the ferry to Capri is lots of fun (we did a day trip and thoroughly enjoyed it). Luna is a small house on the grounds of an elegant villa. It is cool, quiet, and comfortable. The two bedrooms are spacious and for the two of us, the living/dining area was quite adequate. We appreciated the washing machine and prepared several meals in the cute kitchen. There is a lovely pool in the back, surrounded by tall trees and although we didn't swim in November, it is peaceful and beautiful to relax in the back. There are nice restaurants in the area (one across the street has excellent pizza; and the smoothie shop next door is perfect for tea and croissants). And there are grocery stores within a 10-minute walk for replenishing supplies. We found this Italy Perfect property to be similar in (high) quality to other Italy Perfect, London Perfect, and Paris Perfect properties in the same price range. We love renting through this agency--they usually get it right. We look forward to returning to Luna![Thank you so much Diane, we look forward to welcoming you back! The Italy Perfect Team]

"The Pasquino apartment is centrally located, perfect for exploring Rome--just a couple short blocks from bustling Piazza Navona. The apartment was comfortable for a family of five and was exactly as described. The street was quiet, with restaurants, shops, grocery, bakery, transportation all close by and within easy walking distance.It was a perfect location for us.We were greeted enthusiastically by Nancy, given restaurant recommendations and savvy advice for the holiday season in Rome. We would definitely stay here again and certainly recommend it to friends and relatives! [Thank you Susan! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"We (family of 4 adults) stayed in Rome for Christmas and chose this apartment as our base. It was a first time in Italy and the first time we used vacation rental, so we were a little nervous how it was going to work out. We made a right choice! Apartment is beautiful, clean, spacious. It has 2 bedrooms with queens size beds, a guest room/study with sofa-queen bed (my son used this room because it has a separate TV set), 1 1/2 bathroom and a small kitchen that had everything you need. A living room has two sofas, a big dining table, TV set and nicely decorated. 3 small balconies are cute with outdoor seatings. TV set has a lot of programs including English and even several Russian channels for my mom. Wi-fi is pretty fast. Location is fantastic: Spanish steps right around a corner, many restaurants and supermarket within a block, a shopping area nearby. A subway is a short walk. Our hostess Daniela was super nice, she showed us all apartment amenities and features, walked us to the supermarket to buy groceries and was very helpful answering all our questions.The only tiny issue was low pressure in a shower, but not a big deal. Highly recommend to choose this place!"

"This was a perfect place to stay. The apartment overlooks a 5-way intersection right in the heart of Florence and despite this, the bedroom is very quiet for sleeping. The hosts were very kind and helpful. I would highly recommend this to any of my friends or family visiting Florence. [Thank you Pete! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"We (parents and 3 kids, 7-11 years old) had a fantastic trip to Tuscany in July 2016.Borgo was a perfect base for exploring the region, and just as wonderful for relaxing in between adventures. The pool is nicer than the photos suggest, and is set in between a playground area for kids and a panoramic Tuscan countryside vista. Highly recommended for families. Make sure to sign up for the gelato-making class when you arrive.[Thank you Mark, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"My friends and I enjoyed a really great stay at Regina Alta in November. The views were magnificent and the location was great for exploring the region. We enjoyed a day in Lucca, an afternoon exploring all the Montecatini has to offer including lunch at in the quaint village of Montecatini Alto - fantastic views. The villa is large and comfortable."

"From the moment we drove up to the incredibly charming, comfortable, casually elegant Riposo Verde in late October, I was thrilled. I immediately walked through the entire house and around the grounds and had (mentally) moved in within the first hour.The villa is so inviting and so wonderfully livable...I really can't describe how instantly relaxed and at home I felt. What a perfect stay; the views & privacy, the deluxe beds, sheets...well appointed kitchen, comfortable, cozy sofas, etc...even the fragrance of the reed diffusers were divine. So much attention to detail. It really was like something out of a high-end interiors magazine or a movie, but not pretentious or precious. And I haven't even mentioned the countryside....Tuscany at its most beautiful. The lovely village of San Casciano dei Bagni is a short, easy 5 minute drive from the house, (try Ristorante Daniela for a special evening out), with many surrounding villages nearby. There is an upscale spa called Fonteverde just outside the town, but there are also free rustic thermal springs right below the center of town...take your suits and a picnic and make an afternoon or evening of it! So much to explore, but with a home this truly special and lovely, you may be tempted to stock up on food, wine & books and simply lounge by the pool or fireside and soak in this most marvelous of domiciles. Thank you Italy Perfect, for the opportunity to live my Tuscan dream."

"We were very happy with our stay in the Palazzo. It was a great location and everything about the lovely apartment- beautifully appointed - made our stay in Florence as nice as it could possibly be.The mild November weather even allowed for us to spend time outside on the rooftop terrace with superb views of Santa Croce, the activities of the piazza below, and surroundings.There were many good places nearby to eat - Il Cernacchino for sandwiches, La Maremma, and Boccadama, among them, which was always friendly and accommodating, either for cappuccino in the morning or a nice meal one evening. We took advantage of the travel tips on the Italy Perfect blog -very helpful. Also appreciated the assistance with reservation details and excellent service from Lisa and all others associated with Italy Perfect.Have recommended our experience to others and will continue to do so.Many thanks!"

"I thought Italyperfect was just great in terms of the accommodation. The location was so convenient, the owner was a good host, the violinist made us feel a part of the street life of Rome. Plenty of room, appliances (other than coffee maker) worked. What more could we have wished for?I have great memories of Rome and could not have asked for better! [So sorry to hear that the coffeepot wasn't working, thank you for letting us know. It has since been replaced with a new one. The Italy Perfect Team]"

"We could not have been more pleased with our stay at your apartment, Memoria. The apartment was large, comfortable and lovely. The balcony overlooking the Arno and the Ponte Vecchio were icing on the cake. What an amazing location; we literally felt that we were in the middle of everything and a short walk away from all the great shops, museums, duomos and restaurants. The real treat was meeting our greeter! She spent a lot of time helping us get our bearings the day we arrived. Throughout our stay she was on-call, guiding us with our shopping choices (because of her, we got some great deals) and prioritizing the sites to see during our short stay. She had many tips that made our stay stress-free, including purchasing our train tickets to Venice the day before departure. We simply cannot say enough good things about her. We not only plan to rent Memoria again, we hope to see her too! [Thank you Laura and Bob!]"

"Our stay was excellent, enjoyed gorgeous weather, food, wine and sites! The house worked beautifully for the 6 of us. Took excursions almost every day and a couple of invigorating hikes too. Thanks for all the good advice and assistance."

"Daniela was a wonderful greeter, even though our flights were late and so were we! This apartment was super clean and pretty spacious. Loved the tiny balcony for coffee or wine and contemplation. We cooked dinner a few times in the small kitchen. Living room/dining room is very spacious. The surrounding area is unbeatable. Beautiful streets off the Spanish Steps, with tons of restaurants, several small convenience groceries and close to many, many of Rome's best sightseeing. The amazing thing was it did not seem a crowded area as it was just a few blocks from the historic steps. Do not rent this apartment if you want a shower-- and Italy Perfect makes this clear in the description. The second half-bath is tiny but convenient if there is more than one couple or family renting. Italy Perfect is extremely trustworthy with explanations of the apartment amenities with American tastes and expectations in mind.[Thank you Susan! The Italy Perfect Team"

"In the heart of it all...As this was my first trip to Italy and Florence, I am grateful for the level of service, and quality of lodging Italy Perfect offered. The destination/location advice for our needs was spot on, and reservation process very personable and efficient. Our taxi dropped us off at Memoria, from the train station, so we could promptly meet our greeter, and receive a timely, informative, and thorough orientation to the flat, and the area.The first thing you realize about Memoria, is the central location. Our door is at the base of one side of the Ponte Vecchio! So surreal. We walked to all the major museums and sites from our front door taking literally just minutes to Uffizi, Palazzo Pitti, Accademia Gallery, Cathedral of Santa Maria Fiore, and wonderful outdoor markets, as well as a plethora of boutiques and restaurants of all price points. When inside, the views over the Ponte Vecchio into the Tuscan hillside were breathtaking, virtually any time day or night. Loved that balcony. The flat is nicer than it appears in the photos. It includes comfy furniture, good wifi, good water pressure, washer & dryer (!), ample closet space and a well-appointed kitchen (used primarily for breakfasts) and very clean. Loved the formal dining room for entertaining a small group for dinner. Hope to return next year."
