"the apartment was very well placed. Architecturally it is beautiful, high ceilings, large windows, natural wood moldings, door frames and doors. Interesting ceiling mouldings and medallions. Really quite pallacial. Very spacious. The three main bedrooms are large and comforable. Two large full bathrooms, the third bathroom exists but is not worth talking about. It is fully equipped. We were able to travel light thanks to the washer and dryer. The building itself is quiet. There is not alot of street noise, even though you are only 1 block from a major shopping & restaurant avenue. It is close to shopping, restaurants and the metro. Many attractions were in a 10-15 minute walking distance. The colleseum only a short easily navigated metro ride away. The houseman Jaicabo was very helpful. He speaks Spanish & Itailan, but very little English or French. The only negative comment might be that some of the furniture looks tired and could be repllaced. Living room sofas would be one. [Thank you so much for your review. So happy you enjoyed yourselves and the apartment. The Italy Perfect Team]"

"Our family of 6 enjoyed our stay at the Zegno Apartment, in the heart of Rome. The Hotel d`Inghilterra is right outside the door, and we were able to hail a taxi, grab a light lunch and have a bit of a hotel feel when needed. The location on the corner of Via Condotti in Rome was condusive to shopping, yet off the main road. The open windows let the sounds of music and life into the apartment when desired, and when the windows were closed we could enjoy opera music on the stereo, as selected by the apartment owners. The kitchen is well stocked, the laundry easy to use. The master en-suite was very nice, and the separate bathroom off the laundry area is very private as well. The loft bed is a little small for adults, but as described. I would request extra towels, and having a few groceries and wine picked up in advance of arrival was very nice. Everything was as described by Italy Perfect and the welcoming, and departure a breeze. The large Living and Dining area was the hub for meals, card games, and reading with plenty of space for us and friends that visited. The tram from Piazza del Poppolo north towards the Olympic Stadium, Stadio Olimpico, where football and water polo matches are held, was very handy as well, less touristy and we enjoyed Ponte Milvio. Our favorite restaurant in Ponte Milvio was Gli Specialisti for Carbonara, and Cacio de pepe. Not a touristy area, but very nice shopping and restuarants as well as a small street market on Saturday's outside of Roma Beer Company. They serve an excellent array of beers from around the world, each beer has it's own distictive beer. This a great place to go before a football(soccer)match at the stadium, walking distance. We will return to Rome, with the help of Italy Perfect.[It was a pleasure to welcome you to Rome. Love the Ponte Milvio recommendations. The Italy Perfect Team]"

"Just a quick note to say we loved the apartment in rome - thank you!!! Filipo and Giacomo were both very responsive and helpful. Look forward to our next trip."

"We really enjoyed our time at Casetta Bonsi. The location could not have been better, near all the sites but not amongst the tourists. We spent three weeks and felt very at home. It is near grocery stores and good restaurants. The owner was very helpful and available."

"This place has a great location. The AC was not working well and one bedroom is not air conditioned at all. The unit could have been better supplied with starter detergent and soap etc. Carolina recommend by Italy Perfect was just great she is a terrific tour guide. [Thank you so much, Paul. So glad Carolina was such a great guide. We agree! So sorry there wasn't any dishwasher or laundry detergent; there should have been. Apologies for the a/c not working well. The manager would have liked to have known because it was working well during the very hot summer, so maybe it needed a little maintenance that will certainly going to be done before next summer.]"

"
The Michaela was a wonderful apartment . Most important to us was its great location. We never took a taxi as we could comfortably walk to every museum, restaurant, gallery or store from the apartment. All our dealings with Italy Perfect were easy, clear and timely. I would definitely recommend this property!

"We stayed in Memoria for one week, September 5-12. The weather was PERFECT, this time of year. The apartment is divinely situated on the east bank of the Arno with a balcony that allowed us to sit and enjoy the storybook view. Spacious, clean rooms; comfortable beds, two full baths and room to truly "live" in Florence. We found a wonderful market right over the Ponte Vecchio with all the fresh produce, salumi, prosciutto, cheeses and affordable wines we needed. Our greeter helped us with restaurant reservations and recommended our favorite restaurant of the trip: Quattro Leones (4 Lions). (Order the fig, buratta and prosciutto salad). The cab cost a flat Euro 20 from the airport and taxis were easy to get and the dispatchers speak English. We can't wait to get back. Italy Perfect provided all the background info and instructions that made it seamless. We also used their recommended driver, Stefano, for a day trip and they were wonderful!!!!"

"Prisco apartment is wonderful! We spent a full week there and were so pleased that everything we wanted to see in Florence was just a short walk. The apartment has everything a guest could want, including the ambience of being in the heart of the city. The bedroom windows totally blocked street noise, allowing for a good night's sleep or just a place to hibernate for a bit. We would highly recommend Prisco to anyone wanting to truly experience Florence. Franco and Miki were delightful."

"We had chosen the Elegante Apartment in the Prati District for our party of six adults (three couples). We had a wonderful time and really enjoyed the apartment. It is spacious, beautiful and very comfortable. We traveled during an incredible heat wave with temps in the upper 90's. However, we always knew we could cool off back at the apartment. Each bedroom has it's own air conditioning unit and they worked very well. Each couple had plenty of room in their own bedroom and it was great to have the rest of the apartment to spend time together. The location of the apartment is also very convenient. It's a very safe, quiet neighborhood but is still close enough to walk if you so choose. Because of the heat we often took cabs or Uber rides to our destination but you can certainly walk to the Spanish Steps and Via del Corso area. There are a couple of grocery stores close by, but there are plenty of restaurants too. Lastly, Pat from Italy Perfect was very helpful when I was planning this trip as Rome takes a bit of research if you want to do it right. There's so much to see and do and she was a big help! [Thank you so much! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"We are back from our wonderful vacation in Italy and I wanted to let you know personally that our time in Florence was spectacular. The Tesoro apartment that we rented last week was exceptional and provided everything we needed for comfort while we were there. I would highly recommend Tesoro to anyone who's interested in visiting Florence. The location, the Frescoes, the amenities were all perfect. And thanks to you, Pat, for all of your assistance with scheduling and reservations. You are excellent at what you do and your help made our vacation so perfectly wonderful. Have a great day. I hope to work with you again on our next vacation to Italy. We'll be back next year for sure. [Thank you so much. Until next time. The Italy Perfect Team]"

"Overall, our family had a wonderful week at Bucine Limonaia. The unit we stayed in was spacious and our daughters 21 and 16, enjoyed having their own bedrooms, which they don't always have when we travel! While the bedrooms had A/C, the downstairs area, which included the kitchen, dining area and living room, were all extremely hot, resulting in the fact that we didn't spend a lot of time in these areas. Ceiling fans would be a wise investment. The kitchen needs more lighting as it was quite dark. The entire staff at the lodging/resort/castle were extremely kind and helpful and treated their guests very well. The cook was wonderful and we enjoyed several dinners on site as well as some breakfasts when we were too lazy to cook on our own. The info. binder with local restaurants and shops that is in the apartment, needs to be updated as we went to one restaurant that had closed and had been replaced by another restaurant. The setting was exquisite! While we did our fair share of sightseeing around Tuscany, we also spent some wonderful family "down time" reading by the pool and relaxing. Bucine is located in the perfect spot of Tuscany as there is so much to see in the area and you don't have to drive too far to get to your destination. We would definitely recommend Italy Perfect to our friends. [We're so pleased you enjoyed your stay. It is true that only the bedrooms have A/C, as stated in the information on the website. We'll advise the manager to update the information binder, thanks for letting us know.]"

"Miki and Franco were so lovely and just wonderful people. They treated us like family.They are very kind, available, very good with explanations, had printed maps and sites for us to see, and wanted to be certain we had everything we needed. Our bus ride was delayed upon arriving and they waited for us and greeted us with open arms. We stayed here in the Prisco several years ago and it is one of the loveliest places to stay, truly! Delightful and enthusiastic hosts! The Apartment: Everything to love about this place: Very clean, nice fresh linens (extra if you need them), very comfortable bed, big open rooms. Our 3rd floor apartment allowed us to view the activity on the street below if you open the shutters, AND...it is very quiet in the bedroom when all the windows are closed. Slept fine, never heard street noise. Fully equipped kitchen that was spotless, nice breakfast nook with bright light to enjoy our morning coffee and breakfast. Nice living room with T.V. and comfortable sofa. Bathroom is very nice with cabinets and shelves to store your travel items. Big mirror with bright lighting, hair dryer included that worked very well. It almost took a swat team to get us to leave this place - we wanted to stay for months - It was so great! Location: Step out onto the street and you have a bakery 2 doors down, and a wonderful little trattoria 3 doors down called, "Trattoria Marione." We ate there and it was delicious. Shopping right near apartment and everything else is within easy walking distance. Restaurants: Some of our favorites that miss the tourist crowd: 1) Giovanni's - and he is the owner who greets almost every guest personally coming through the door, he seats you, the waiters are attentive, but not hovering. The food is extraordinary: a blend of fresh flavors in every dish and every bite leaves you wanting more. 2) Club Culinario Toscano da Osvaldo -authentic and traditional. 3) Verrazzano - great place for lunch with wonderful desserts to add to the mix 4) Gelaterias - you want fresh ingredients with not a lot of fillers: our two choices are, first, "Perche No" right across from Verrazzano and, second, "La Carraia." Pat and Lisa from Italy Perfect: Everyone needs these gals to make travel plans seamless. They are fiercely organized, deliver an extremely comprehensive packet of information that covers multiple areas of interest or potential concern, detail how to problem solve, answer every single email promptly, are kind and generous with their time. I think I overdid it a little with my requests/questions via email, but they never missed a beat - answered promptly each time, always helpful.They're the best! [Thank you for your lovely comments & being such a wonderful repeat guest. The Italy Perfect Team]"

"Our stay was very pleasant. It was within close proximity to a grocery store and the main attractions in Florence. The downside was that it was not air conditioned. It was very hot during our stay in Sept and if the windows were opened the noise from outside made it impossible to sleep. Cynthia (the owner ) was very pleasant and helpful and even drove us to the train station at departure because we couldn't get a cab. The apt was spacious and would be acceptable for a small family or singles needing two separate bedrooms. I would definitely recommend Italy Perfect to my friends. [Thank you for your nice comments, we're happy you enjoyed your stay. It is accurate that the apartment does not have A/C, as indicated on the Vespucci webpage.]"

"I stayed at the Memoria Apartment in Florence in mid-August with my daughter and her college friend. It was in a fantastic location right near the north side of the Ponte Vecchio. The two bedrooms, the dining room, living room and the balcony all overlooked the Arno river and the Ponte Vecchio. Sitting on the balcony we saw amazing sunsets every evening over the river. The location is close to all the major sights and shopping. Crossing over the Ponte Vecchio to the grocery store was only a 3 minute walk. We would eat in at breakfast, then have appetizers and wine on the balcony before going out to dinner.Most importantly for three traveling women, we felt safe at this location. It was common to see police walking the area around the Ponte Vecchio. In the evenings, there was an organized musical event on the bridge; usually someone singing and playing guitar, and people of all ages would enjoy the show while eating their gelati. The windows in the apartment were insulated, so street noise was not a problem. I hope to return to this location with my husband. He and I had stayed at the nearby Portrait Hotel last spring; however, I feel that this apartment is a much better deal."

"When we rented the apartment in Florence we had no idea just how much it would enhance our stay. Each day we returned to our HOME with appetizers in hand. Then we would sit on our private terrace, enjoying wonderful italian cheeses and wine while discussing our day. We were traveling with 2 twenty year olds and had we all returned to separate hotel rooms our experience would not have been shared or enjoyed nearly as much. We will travel this way from now on. [Thank you so much, Mary. Your appetizers on the terrace sound delicious. Nice to enjoy with your 20 year olds rather than be separated. Please come again! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"We stayed in the Elegante apartment for one week and everything was fantastic. As a party of seven, it was difficult to find locations with enough bedrooms, but this apartment was extremely spacious and beautifully decorated. It had a prime location, and was within walking distance of everything we wanted to visit in Rome. We loved shopping on the nearby Via Del Corso and would recommend the pizza place across the road (delicious!). Giocomo, the attendant who met us at the apartment, was extremely helpful (especially when moving in and out) and answered all of our questions. Our only complaint is that for such a beautiful place, we found the appliances to be sparse and relatively cheap (particularly the coffee maker and toaster). Also, the 4th bedroom is NOT air conditioned (which normally wouldn't be an issue, but was somewhat inconvenient in the 40+ degree heat!). Otherwise, we loved our stay and would definitely return to both the apartment and Rome itself. [Thank you so much for your fair review. There is now air conditioning in all bedrooms. Please note that the large appliances are high quality German manufacture such as Gaggenau. Sorry about the drip coffee maker that is of the type one can find in Italy where Italians prefer using their own stovetop coffee makers. The toaster is also typical, not that many models available because Italians don't generally have toast, but it seems to work adequately. The Italy Perfect Team]"

"This was a wonderful apartment, with plenty of room, for our family time in Rome. The location is superb. It is nicely furnished and very charming. It was very quiet with the windows closed, but you could step right out of the door and find lots of activity and plenty of things to do. I would definitely stay there again and will use Italy Perfect for other locations to visit. The check in went off without a glitch [Super, thank you so much. The Italy Perfect Team]"

"Great location, close to everything; extremely nice and helpful owners; charming, clean, and well equipped apartment, with little kitchen. The only problem we had was that the living room is not sound insulated as well as the bedroom, so it was harder to sleep well there."
