"We recently stayed at Borgo. Our family of 4 was in Beco and my mother stayed in Tiglio. Borgo is an extraordinary destination, and the apartments there are beautiful. They are located in a historic farmhouse on the estate, and are a lovely combination of old Tuscan feel and modern comforts. Our apartment was very comfortable, with a great kitchen and living areas. We were there in June and even though the weather had been very hot in Rome and Venice, it was so pleasant in the hills at Borgo, and we were amazed to be able to sleep with windows open at night. The estate has stunning views with olive orchards, woods and gardens. When combined with the views of the surrounding landscape – cypress trees, ancient hilltop towns and Monte Amiata in the distance – you feel as if you are in a movie. The staff at Borgo is gracious and welcoming, the food is wonderful, and the garden tour should not be missed. Finally, its location is perfect for day trips to any number of beautiful towns. We highly recommend Borgo for an unforgettable trip."

"Our apartment was very comfortable, quiet, clean, and well equipped. It was located in a historic palazzo turned into apartments on the Piazza Santa Croce. Our interests were in history, art, and architecture so the location was perfect. We were able to walk everywhere and even manage one of our party in a wheelchair. There is a "super" market a few blocks away for anything from staples to fine wine. We ate well everyday in a restaurant near our morning excursions, so all over the historic area. Food was great everywhere. Our travel companions are world-class consumers of gelato and give world-class honors to the small gelateria around the corner, facing the convent associated with Santa Croce. The folks at Italy Perfect were very helpful. And, yes, I would certainly seek them out again and recommend them to friends."

"We had a wonderful family vacation in Rome this summer! Our week at the Zegno Apartment was perfect. Edgard is a kind and helpful Houseman. The accomodations were luxurious, clean, and comfortable and provided an "at home" experience after long days of touring the beautiful city. The location is ideal as it is near the Spanish Steps, with grocery and taxi stands available only a short walk away. The building is very secure which added to our sense of safety as a family. We would definitely recommend the Zegno and Pat with Italy Perfect. She was a wonderful resource as we planned our journey! Thanks so much Italy Perfect for a memorable family adventure in Rome! [Thank you so much. The Italy Perfect Team]"

"My friend and I spent a relaxing week in the San Croce Mimi penthouse, a furnished and well-maintained apartment at the edge of the historic district. Comfortable, spacious and with all the modern conveniences - elevator, microwave, TV with English news, air conditioning and a mobile phone to rent - we enjoyed every minute. The large patio overlooks famous San Croce Piazza, and arguably the most beautiful church in Florence. Steps away from shops, cafes and a tourist center, the apartment is still quiet inside its thick walls. Tips for future guests: bring mosquito repellant. The gardener services the plants on the gorgeous patio every other day; when he does, mosquitoes enter the apartment. Otherwise, gracious accommodations, fine service from our Italy Perfect agent and good value made for a lovely vacation."

"Our time at Bucine Poggio was truly wonderful! I can’t thank you enough. Bucine was the highlight of the whole trip. Our little village, the castle, vineyards, olive trees, wild boar, deer, ruins, and more. The owners are a lovely, lovely family and made the time there truly special— from the private cooking class, dinner at the castle with Maria and Antonella, the wine tour and private tasting, plus fabulous swimming pool and storybook scenery… Italy Perfect is perfecto!"

"This apartment is exactly as advertised. It is beautiful, spacious and in a great location. My family and I (there were 7 of us, including 3 children and my in-laws) had plenty of room and privacy after spending hours walking the beautiful and historic streets of Rome. The apartment is in a nice, quiet neighborhood that is close to shopping, restaurants, grocery stores, subway, etc. While we walked most everywhere, we did take the subway a few times to some of the farther destinations like the ancient Rome. The greeter spoke next to no English but we communicated well enough to get by. Italy Perfect also gave us suggestions for places to eat, tour guides, car services and other necessities. Pat really helped us have the most amazing family vacation to date. I highly recommend this apartment and Italy Perfect! [It is wonderful that you found your stay amazing, Tammi. Thank you. By the way, we have a new English-speaking greeter.]"

"Prisco apartment met our expectations and more. It was an excellent choice for my wife and I. You will not be disappointed if you book this apartment.Florence is a walking city. The Prisco is located inside the historic area of Florence which allows for easy walking access to SMN Train Station, major piazzas, shopping areas and great restaurants.It's also a five minute walk to the other side of the Arno River which also has may great restaurants and shopping areas. Our hosts, Miki and Franco, are wonderful. They made us feel at home, made sure we knew everything we had to know about the apartment, and provided great shopping and restaurant suggestions. If you are looking for leather, you don't need to go to leather shops located at the piazzas, just walk a few blocks within the interior for Florence and you will find small mom and pop leather shops with exquisite leather products at half the price."

"In preparation for our first trip to Florence I was happy to learn about Italy Perfect and their rental properties. It was so easy to talk to Lisa from Italy Perfect since she is located in the states and language is not an issue. She recommended "Michaela" which turned out to be "perfect" for the three of us. The apartment is located in a very nice high-end, boutique district of Florence with great and affordable restaurants near by. The apartment building has a lift so managing our bags was not a concern. Miki and Franco, the owners of the apartment met us and assisted us if we had any questions or needed directions. The apartment is lovely and spacious. The beds were very comfortable and having two bathrooms was nice. Since the apartment is located in the city one should expect some city noise. We did not have a bad meal in Italy. That being said, we highly recommend L'Osteria di Giovanni for a great food experience."

"Our group of three academics had an ambitious goal- to see seven European cities in three weeks. Of all our apartment accommodations from London to RomeThis apartment "Strozzi" in Florence was the best. We spent four days in the lap of luxury-Well appointed, spotlessly clean, safe and located steps from the Uffizi, river Arno and the Accademia! The owners were gracious, genuine and available. Their recommendation of "La Spada" restaurant a block away was superb. Miki and Franco are the epitome of hospitality. Lisa their booking agent is a consummate professional Making your Florentine vacation a once in a life time experience you'll want to revisit time and time again!!!!"

"This apartment appears larger in person than in the pictures and has a nice open layout with a workable kitchen and a sleek modern bathroom. Of course, the main attraction is the elevated terrace with a view of the convergence of 3 canals, plus a bridge.This provided many hours of watching the gondolas, hearing their chatter and sometimes music.We ate most of our meals out there enjoying this Venetian parade. It also looks across at a lovely building with a flowered balcony and an angel stature embedded in it's wall. It's just a few minutes walk to San Marco square where so much of the action is and transportation to everywhere. This is a nice building with a good elevator and just across the lane is a hotel garden restaurant where you can watch the gondolas glide by at eye level. Paula was our greeter and explained everything quite well and then led us to the grocery store just 5 min. away.I would definitely stay here again.The one and only thing I would wish for is more solid cover over the terrace to protect from the sun and rain.It can get a little too warm there in the middle of the day. [Thank you so much for your kind review. We love experiencing that timeless view and the sounds of the gondolas through your description. The Italy Perfect Team]"

"The Santa Croce Tosca is a wonderful, well-located apartment. Much more spacious than expected having traveled in Europe over the years. My guys are well over 6 feet tall, so that was an important factor. We had the beds made into one bed in each of the 2 very spacious bedrooms and they were at least as large an an American king size bed...very comfortable as well. The layout worked well and the apartment was as described and photos were accurate on the Italy Perfect website...actually even a little nicer in person. It was nice to be in a beautiful and historic building with on-site management!! We were greeted in a friendly manner by Francesca and shown around the apartment thoroughly with lots of instruction. There was a problem with the air conditioning for the first several days. Unfortunately it had been shut off at the unit in the back bedroom beside the washer/dryer. The housekeeper was called who immediately identified and corrected the problem with the push of a button. Much cooler after that! There was a very loud event in the Piazza one weekend during daytime hours (which we were out and about most of the time anyway) and some other "partying" noise at night mainly on the weekends. But you are looking directly onto a very large Piazza, so to be expected. The glass partition between the master bedroom and the windows looking onto the Piazza was a very wise decision and helps to block out much of the noise. The back bedroom is very quiet. It was really nice to be able to have the apartment as a "base of operation" so we could easily take day trips and side trips without dragging lots of luggage around and we had a "home" to come back to afterwards. There's also a little more of a feeling of being a part of things rather than going from hotel to hotel. One thing I might have changed (other than the air conditioning problem in the beginning) is the time of year we traveled (May). It was very crowded with LOTS of groups of tourists and vendors trying to sell things constantly. I think I'd choose April or October if we were to make the trip again. We loved hiking up to the Piazzale Michaelangelo and the monastery nearby (incredible views). Not so many tourists at the beautiful monastery! Consider trying Il Bussola Ristorante...our favorite! We took wonderful side trips to Anacapri (top of the Isle of Capri) and San Quirico d'Orcia, well out into the Tuscany countryside. Also a lovely day trip to Fiesole. WONDERFUL!! Pat with Italy Perfect was great to work with and very helpful! I really appreciated not being negatively surprised when we entered the apartment. It was very much as represented. Upon IP's recommendation, we worked with guide, Veronica Ranucci, who was knowledgeable and professional. I have already mentioned Italy Perfect to several friends who asked how we found an apartment in Florence. [What a great review. Thank you so much. The Italy Perfect Team]"

"We were not expecting to have such a wonderful time in Venice. We were told by a few people that after a couple days of sight seeing we would be bored. Not so. We absolutely loved the chaotic sreet grids and beautiful sights to be seen in every sestieri. We had been in Paris the week before and had done much photography but I do believe that Venice is a better place to shoot. Every Calli had a sight to photograph! Yes, the city is a bit of a tangled mess to get around but if you keep in mind that this city is to be explored and not mapped out and conquered....in other words, put your walking boots on and go with the flow. Smiles and broken Italian phrases get you everywhere in this charming city. I would stay away from the main tourist areas and try to get lost in the back areas of the city to see it at its best! [Thank you so much, we are loving Venice with you. Too right that the longer you stay the more you find to enjoy. Come again! The Italy Perfect Team]"
