"Bella Regina Alta! Thank you Italy Perfect for recommending this villa. It worked out so well for our group (4 girlfriends of "a certain age"). It was an easy drive from the Florence airport and we were so delighted with the location, scenery, views and exploring the local region. Enjoyed long leisurely evenings out on the veranda with wine, cheese, talking & laughing. Great times!"

"We're happy to have found the Elegante Apartment through Italy Perfect and recommend Italy Perfect as a trusted resource.Our greeter, Barbara was friendly and very helpful. We were a family group of six people and a baby, not all "couples". This 5 bedroom apartment was very nicely decorated / roomy, upscale, very clean & comfortable for everyone. Leafy views out of the windows were lovely. The Master Bedroom with balcony was very large and the other bedrooms, while not huge, were a comfortable size. Beds were comfortable. Pillows nice. Several people of our foodie family could work in the Kitchen at one time, even when the highchair & baby were occupying space. Dishwaher - a plus. There were ample pots, pans, dishes & utensils, as well as a smattering of spices and oils, I presume left by previous guests. The table in the Dining Room accommodated 8. It was handy for spreading out our maps and planning our day, in addition to our meals. Living Room was very large. We chose / enjoyed the location primarily because it was not a tourist neighborhood. The location was very convenient both for prepared food shopping as well as minor grocery shopping. This is a city location, so there are no sprawling Esselunga supermarkets! However, we always found everything that we needed, from spices & oils to quality produce & roasts!Nearby deluxe shopping options, as well as neighborhood coffee bars (Scia Scia Caffe) and gelaterias were perfect destinations for strolls with the stroller & baby. It was easy to blend into the neighborhood. For more touristy options, it was an easy 10-ish minute walk to Piazza del Popolo. A cab ride took 15 minutes or longer, because of one-way streets & Rome traffic. The hotel across the street was very, very convenient..... we knew we could always rely on their Front Desk to secure a cab for us in 5 - 10 minutes! The apartment contained a washer AND dryer, which was a bonus. However, as mentioned in the Italy Perfect travel prep, the appliance cycles took forever! My advice is -- do not leave your clothes washing until the end of your stay or you will be left with a lot of damp clothes! There are no 20 minute cycles in Italy! The one negative of our stay at Elegante was that the shower drain in the "Master Bathroom" was broken. After our first several showers, we were left with standing water in the shower stall that would not drain out. We informed Barbara, our greeter, and she advised us that the owners were aware of the situation. However, the drain was not repaired during the time of our stay..... perhaps unfortunate timing for us. However -- All in all, we were quite happy with our stay at Elegante Apartment in Prati. It was a lovely, spacious, very clean and comfortable home away from home for us and we would come again! [We're happy that you enjoyed your stay. The shower drain in the master bathroom has been fixed. The Italy Perfect Team]"

"The flat was absolutely excellent. It was centrally located, clean and very comfortable. Perhaps some nicer soap and shampoo......... but would recommend wholeheartedly without any reservations!! [Thank you Stuart! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"This is a great place for home base to explore Matera. It is easy walking distance of the Sassi and the center of the new town. The apartment is spacious and great for one or two couples. The terrace is special. We enjoyed cocktails and lunch on the terrace. The apartment seems to be recently renovated with all the conveniences required for staying a while and exploring Matera. We recommend the apartment and Matera."

"The Tesoro apartment is conveniently located near Santa Croce Church. It was a wonderful place to be for the week we stayed in Florence. This is the second time we have used Italy Perfect and would highly recommend them. Lisa and Pat are full of helpful information and respond to any questions quickly and efficiently.[Thank you Denise, we look forward to welcoming you back again! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"It is not often that a real product exceeds what is portrayed in ads, but that is the case with the Serenata apartment in Venice. From the moment the apartment door opened to sunshine flooded rooms, my husband and I were in love. The sunny rooftop terrace offered views over the confluence of three canals, serenading gondoliers and views in the distance of St. Mark's and the Campanile. What a perfect setting for morning coffee or a late afternoon wine. The kitchen was supplied with every utensil and appliance needed - even sharp knives, absolutely unheard of in any rental unit! We thoroughly enjoyed visiting the Realto Market and cooking some meals while watching the canal life below. Sheer bliss! The Serenata is located within a few minutes walk of the activity, shopping, touring and dining of St. Mark's Square. Vaporetto stops are also nearby. One does not have to journey far to find an excellent ristorante; the recommendations provided are excellent. How wonderful it was to wander into the piazza after dark to enjoy the cafe and orchestra scene. Despite its proximity to a main tourist area, the calle and apartment were quiet. The best of both worlds. We arrived in Venice by water taxi from the airport. Paola spoke to our taxi driver who brought us within steps of the apartment. Our tour of the apartment was thorough and welcome. We experienced no issues during our stay. What impressed us most was that when my husband and I asked Paola about grocery shopping, she personally took us to a grocery store and then to her favourite cheese shop where she introduced us to the owner. Talk about going above and beyond the call of duty! We love Venice; this was our second trip. When we return, the Serenata will be our home again. We cannot recommend this rental highly enough!"

This is a beautiful, well maintained apartment that is close to all the chief sites in Florence but on a reasonably quiet and very pleasant street in the heart of town. The appliances have been updated and everything works. I would highly recommend the apartment to my friends and family. The owners are very much available if ever needed and spent a considerable amount of time in explaining the various details that made our stay enjoyable and the shops and amenities in the neighborhood. The owners could not have been more accommodating. For example, they endeavored to arrange a cab for us while we were checking out but even with multiple calls, no cabs were available. Rather than allow us to miss our train, they each grabbed our luggage and walked us to the train station and even stayed when we got there to show us the correct track to get on.

"The accommodations were very comfortable in every way. We appreciated the additional roll-away bed. All 6 of us were very comfortable with the sleeping arrangements. The kitchen was very well-stocked. We appreciated the American coffee maker very much! The location was terrific - close to everything. An easy walk to the main sites, Arno River, etc.We found it impossible to get a taxi in Florence (!!)We found the Hop On, Hop Off bus useful because it stopped nearby. It would be nice to include a map of the bus routes in the apartment since it seems that a lot of them go close to the apartment. No real restaurant recommendations. There was a nice list in the apartment and all of our meals were wonderful. We appreciate all the help and support given to us by Italy Perfect! [Thank you Catherine! Please come again. The Italy Perfect Team]"

"They made us feel at home. There is no need to shop for another place to stay. The home is like your home. The space was beautiful. We couldn't of asked for more."

"We loved our stay at the Serenata. We were greeted by Paola, who was beyond nice and helpful, giving us a detailed introduction to the apartment and a list of some of her favorite restaurants, which were supplemented by the superb recommendations by Pat at Italy Perfect. The location was wonderful, right off St. Mark's Square, yet peaceful. The apartment itself was beautiful and the deck from which we could watch gondoliers going down our canal was our favorite attraction. Paola also provided us with the name of a water taxi driver, who met us at the Banco San Marco a few steps away, to catch our very early flight home.A wonderful experience. [Thank you, we are delighted you enjoyed your stay. The Italy Perfect Team]"

My husband and I had a great stay at this beautiful apartment. Pat at Italy Perfect was super helpful in our choice of unit and area. Our greeter at the apartment was waiting for us on arrival and was very nice and informative.The apartment is lovely and in a great area. The pre-arrival info is very helpful. I would definitely recommend Italy Perfect and Minerva's Treasure. P.s. We enjoyed Il Buca dei Ripetta around the corner and Emma's was great! [Thank you, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay!

"We were met by Isabel promptly and given a full tour of the apartment. It's a beautiful space and the huge sliding doors to the balcony give you the perfect view of the bridge and river. It's so easy to walk to everything from this location. She was so helpful and offered to assist us with any questions we had. She gave us restaurant recommendations that were off the beaten path and even scheduled our taxi rides for departure. We would highly recommend this apartment and especially Isabel. [Such a pleasure to receive your beautiful comments and to hear that you enjoyed your stay at the Memoria apartment. We'll be sure to pass along your thanks to our greeter Isabel as well. A big thank you! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"Pasquino was superb and totally suitable for us. I don’t think there is anything we can suggest to improve it."

"The Prisco apartment was ideal for our first trip to Europe. The location was in the center of old Florence, convenient to everything. We enjoyed staying in such a grand old building, and our hosts Mikki and Franco were most helpful. Ditto with Italy Perfect, as Lisa was a source to answer everything we needed to know. All three helped make the trip so much fun and less stressful. Amazingly, we were able to spend a week in Tuscany without renting a car. Transportation by train or bus was outstanding, and we were able to walk to so much of what Florence has to offer. Florence is a beautiful city, and this apartment was SO Florence. We absolutely hope to return in the future. Thank you!"

"My wife, brother-in-law and sister-in-law and I all want to thank you for recommending Regina Bella for our first time trip to Tuscany. It had everything we had wished for. Our dreams were fulfilled. Would love to come back again."

Minerva's Treasure was truly a pleasure to stay in. The apartment is bright, very nicely furnished and so well located. Our greeter Daniela was a delight, so sweet and helpful. We would stay here again and would recommend the fine services of Italy Perfect.

"Casetta Bonsi lives up to the name "Italy Perfect" - a perfect home away from home in Florence. Spacious accommodations comfortably furnished with all the amenities that you need, the house is ideal for two people. Situated in a quiet residential neighbourhood well away from the throngs of tourists, you can appreciate Florence as those who live here know it and yet just a two minute walk down the road and you are looking across the Arno River at the Ufuzzi directly in front of you. Head into the Oltrarno district (the south side and less touristy side of the Arno) and you can enjoy all the local stores and cafes. Cross the bridge and in less than ten minutes you are in the heart of Florence.Our charming host, Maurizio, could not have been more welcoming. He met us when we arrived, gave us a tour of the house and provided us with his personal guides to the neighbourhood, his recommendations for shopping and dining, and a detailed history of the house that he had written. And as an added touch, he left us with a bowl of fruit, a plate of candies, and a full canister of espresso to enjoy. Beautiful accommodations, a perfect location, and a charming host - all for less than the cost of a hotel room. What more could you want?"
Keith Davey
"The accommodations were better than described. We were very pleased to find the apartment to be such a wonderful place in terms of spaciousness, decor, and location. The kitchen was well equipped and the apartment met our needs in every way. We will recommend to our friends and tell them all about it. If they come to Florence, we will let them know that they should stay here. We would rate Tosca a 10, for sure. As to any other comments, the only unusual thing is the requirement to take out the trash upon check out, especially since taking it out involves carrying it a couple of blocks away to the trash dumpster. But, we enjoyed the place so much, we are happy to meet this requirement. Thank you so much. We really did enjoy our stay here and will certainly recommend it to others! [Thanks so much! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"Comfy with plenty of room to relax and lounge. Great for adult getaways."

"The apartment was located right at the bridge so shopping and restaurants were very close. Isabel was our greeter and she was super helpful. She offered restaurant suggestions and tour ideas. She even arranged for out taxi ride when we were leaving. All the information that Italy Perfect provided made our trip so much easier. Just FYI, the elevator is very small so if you happen to squeeze 4 people in and it doesn't move...you are over the limit."
