"Nicely appointment apartment in an ideal part of town. Great location, next to all of the attractions, train station, and importantly for us, local fare, a salumeria, fornaio and produce and fruit purveyor. Bedroom has a soundproof door which is need given the central location. Miki and Franco are wonderful, treating us like long time friends. Would definitely recommend."

"The apartment was much bigger than I had imagined, which was great. It was super hot in Rome when we arrived so it was wonderful to walk into an air-conditioned space. Our greeter was fantastic and super helpful. The location was perfect. We travelled with two children - one of whom was 3 - so being centrally located was key for us. There was a grocery store down a block or so away, and the Campo di Fiori was very close too. It was wonderful to have some food at home for the little ones. I would definitely recommend Italy Perfect (and have already done so) to friends. Everyone was very helpful and accommodating through the whole process. Two tips - Italy Perfect had recommended we bring face clothes and extra shampoo, conditioner, etc., and while I could have gotten it there, bringing it saved some hassle."

"I grew up in Rome,and have been back often since leaving but I can say that I discovered a new Rome during our stay at the Pasquino. This time I came with my daughter to introduce my two grandsons and my daughter-in-law to my family and my city. We walked everywhere. The location was great and our greeter, Stanislau very helpful. The apartment comfortable, clean and well equipped. Double pane windows very appreciated with the noise from the local restaurants and A/C that worked. We loved the Nespresso coffee machine that made us start the day bright and early. Campo de Fiori market was a daily stop for preparing lunch at home. Piazza Navona was great for a gelato after dinner out. I would recommend Italy Perfect and I will use it again for my next visit. Thank you, Isabella"

"Prisco apartment is very centrally located. It is close to many sites and a short walk to cross the Arno on the Santa Trinita bridge. We were able to walk everywhere. Because it is so centrally located it is in a very noisy busy area. The apartment has heavy windows and a double door system for the balcony. It keeps out most of the noise very well. The trade off is the windows and doors have to be kept shut for it to be quiet inside. The hosts are the owners and take great pride in their apartment. It is large, lovely and decorated with many personal touches. One of the owners actually grew up in the apartment when it included the entire second floor. Our orientation by the owners was very thorough but it was hard to remember everything. A notebook with diagrams about how to work such things as the oven, which is tricky, and the TV, etc would be helpful. We never could figure them out. We enjoyed our stay in Prisco and would recommend it if someone wanted to stay close to the action and didn't mind keeping the doors and windows closed all the time."

"I am well traveled thru Europe and have had some wonderful experiences. My week at the Memoria may have been the best ever. Our greeter was knowledgable and professional. The apartment was spectacular. The location was perfect, with a great market just across the bridge. Almost sounds too good to be true. Just see for yourself. While in Florence don't miss the pharmacia [Officina Profumo Farmacia Santa Maria Novella]. A place you may not be aware of but a must see."

"This was our first experience renting in Europe. It couldn't have been better. The apartment was lovely and comfortable, very roomy and accommodating. It has everything you need for an enjoyable stay. The location was ideal. Quite close to all the major sights in Florence and on a quiet street adjacent to a busy square. There are numerous restaurants in the area and grocery shopping was a short walk away. I would recommend this apartment without hesitation. Thanks so much, Steven, for enjoying this apartment for all its fine features! ItalyPerfect Team "

"The apartment was wonderful.Very comfortable.Kitchen had everything that we needed.Plus air conditioning. Location couldn't of been better. Pat was great to work with.She really took care of all of our questions and made it so easy for us.The plaza was hosting the historical game of the “Calcio in Costume” (Historical Soccer Game)on the day of our arrival.We were met by the apartment management-our apartment faced the courtyard-not the plaza- which worked out great.Less noise.They let us watch the game from another apartment facing the plaza.Everything was within walking distance.Grocery just down the street.Can't go wrong with the apartment or working with Italy Perfect."

"The Memoria property was well maintained, clean and had everything needed in stock. Although there were only two of us we enjoyed our space and separate bedrooms. Being there for a month gave us the freedom to travel around Italy by rail without lugging suitcases and having a comfortable place to come 'home' to. The washer, dryer, iron were a plus. Linens and bathrobes. Dishwasher, stove all worked well, lots of dishes, implements etc. Isabelle checked us in, great gal and excellent resource for information. Wall safe, elevator small but great to have. It can be a little noisy at times but who cares, you're in Florence. Best gelato right downstairs. Italy Perfect this time, Paris Perfect next."

"Staying in Tesoro apartment was disappointing. Without wanting to be rude as this is clearly someone's home, it was not really suitable as a holiday rental. It was quite dark and poorly furnished and nowhere really relaxing to sit. The room where the TV was positioned was very uncomfortable. Bathrooms were fine although the bed, being on a platform, was strange if you got up and forgot. The frescoes were interesting. The surrounding streets were barricaded off during part of our stay due to the calcio storica being held, it would have been helpful to be aware of this as we did have some problems getting thoroughness e evenings. We are sorry that this guest was disappointed. We have represented this apartment for nearly 10 years. It is furnished and decorated as a Florentine home to reflect the art and interest of the city, but no one lives in it other than vacationers. Although it has a unique and personal feel, it is not someone's home. The furnishings are as depicted in the photos and video. We are sorry this guest did not find the furniture comfortable and overlooked the information in the description that describes it as a platform bed and as shown in both the photo tour & video. We will make a note to remind future guests about the historic soccer (calcio storico) held on 3 weekends in nearby Piazza Santa Croce every June."

"We had a fabulous time in Firenze thanks to Italy Perfect and Maurizio and his wife. It was my first time in Europe and I was very nervous about arrival, getting around, etc. but Maurizio was clocking our plane's arrival and he contacted me before I got off the plane. Everything went prefectly. We loved the house and neighborhood. We even met another client of yours as he walked by on day while in Firenze to take in old memories, a college arts professor/travel group leader from Florida and England. He loves the place too. We hope to return to Florence sooner rather than later. Until then, ciao and grazie!"

"To begin with Danielle was a wonderful greeter. She went above & beyond to assist us with little things that needed attention. She is an asset to your business. The apartment location is perfect. It is right in the middle of everything. I loved the supermarket two blocks away. The apartment could use some tender loving care. For the rental fee paid, the owner should invest some money in having the wood floors re-done. They need to be sanded, stained and polished. They are very worn. [It has been done!] The linens and bedding are fine, however new towels and blankets would be nice. The lighting could be improved. The pole lamps are chintzy for such a beautiful apartment. I managed to cook a few wonderful meals on the 2 burner stove. A challenge, but lots of fun. I would definitely recommend you to friends and would call you again the next time we have an adventure in Italy.Once again, thank you for making our vacation so memorable."

"We wanted somewhere to sum up the essence of Venice and this apartment provided just that. The location was central providing easy access to shops, restaurants and sites. The roof terrace was perfect for people watching, listening to the bells, relaxing and generally soaking up the atmosphere. Watching and listening to the gondoliers was fascinating to the extent that we just popped downstairs to book one! The greeter, Paola, was just the loveliest person who showed us the local store and gave helpful tips about the appliances and mosquitoes and good eateries. Booking was straightforward with attention to detail given. Would definitely recommend Italy Perfect to a friend. The apartment was clean, spacious, comfortable and the décor was lovely. The only downside was the humidity and mosquitoes but the location and roof terrace more than made up for that. Would definitely recommend to a friend and also want to go back ourselves!"

We had a wonderful time staying at this Roman apartment. The location is within walking distance to everything we wanted to do. Our family likes to walk a lot. We did take a train to the Vatican, but walked back. Other than that – we only took a car to the airport. Our host was awesome and recommended some great local places for us to go. The restaurant just down the street, “Life,” was really good. There is a Gelato place that wasn’t too far called Giolitti – we decided this was the best in Rome and went there everyday. There was a grocery store not far, we picked up our breakfast foods there and just made that in the apartment. The kitchen was pretty small so we had lunches and dinners out. This was towards the end of our trip so we were starting to cut cost back a little bit. There are a few sandwich places nearby that were really good and pretty inexpensive (we are a family of 5). Loved this area and would definitely stay here again!

"This is a wonderfully spacious apartment that is walkable to the Spanish Steps and many other sites and even the Vatican (about a mile or so). The apartment is elegant, spacious, and comfortable. We fit 7 people very comfortably with different sleep schedules. The Wifi works well. The beds are comfortable. You can have breakfast at the hotel across the street if you don't feel like cooking. The street is less busy than other streets which reduces noise relative to other potential locations. I would stay here again if I visited Rome again."

"We fell in love with Serenata for its ambiance, location and our wonderful greeter. How perfect to spend a week on a sophisticated apartment with a rooftop deck overlooking a canal. We were serenaded in the mornings with bells from San Marco square, enlivened by the sounded of delivery workers on the canal in the mornings and gondoliers in the late afternoons. Our greeter went above the call of duty talking to the lost luggage handler at the airport and being at our apartment two separate times to receive the suitcases. Her restaurant suggestions were right on. This apartment is best suited for a couple as the sofa bed would not be comfortable. Great place and perfect location."

"My wife and I recently enjoyed a memorable, two-week stay in the Strozzi apartment. The location is superb, with many shops and restaurants on the same street, and the building has the ambience of a stately palazzo. Guests should be aware of the limited cooking facilities, but the kitchenette is functional and more than adequate for our purposes. We had no complaints or issues with the apartment, and the security of the building gave us peace of mind. However, the most valuable assets of this apartment are the owners, Miki and Franco, who are two of the sweetest people we've ever met! They greeted us as if we were family, and went out of their way to make our stay as pleasant as possible. We highly recommend this apartment, and are looking forward to staying there again, or in one of the other two which Miki and Franco own on the same floor, when we return to Florence. Mille grazie, Miki & Franco, for being such wonderful hosts!"

"As our train was arriving in Florence/Firenze, I called our host and upon our arrival by taxi at Casetta Bonsi, he was waiting on us as agreed. Our host spent time with us explaining everything we needed to know for an enjoyable week at Casetta Bonsi, plus he walked with us to show us where the grocery store and some delightful restaurants were located. Our stay at Casetta Bonsi could not have been more perfect, which made our stay in Florence/Firenze stress free and provided us a week of wonderful memories. At Casetta Bonsi, we had all the comforts of home and from its location, we walked everywhere we wanted. Our host arranged for a taxi to meet us on our day of departure and he was there to say "Goodbye" when we left. Our week "flew by" and I only wish we had stayed longer. I hope to return Casetta Bonsi again, for it was a perfect week!"

"We spent ten days in Apartment Donatello and felt completely at home even though home was a beautiful 16th Century living space fit for royalty.... which we are most decidedly not. Each of the three bedrooms is spacious with ensuite bathroom and very efficient air conditioning. The AC was particularly welcomed as Florence was under a heat wave with 95-98º temperatures. The upstairs master bedroom is particularly beautiful and filled with golden sunlight during the day. There is also a small terrace that overlooks an interior patio below. The kitchen and dining room are big enough to throw a dinner party for 12 while the frescoed living room is a perfect place to flop after a long day seeing the sights. The entire apartment feels like a sanctuary and one is grateful for the serenity and quiet provided by its interior location, especially during the heavy tourist season. Managers Cecile and Patrizia are delightful as well as professional. Indeed, they are an added luxury. We will definitely return to Palazzo Santa Croce and its many charms whenever we visit Florence again."

"On a recent trip to Italy one of our destinations was Florence where we stayed at the Michaela apartment. The location was absolutely perfect for us being in the heart of the old city, within walking distance of many of the places we wanted to see including the Duomo and the Uffizi. The apartment itself was spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped. Our hosts were extremely helpful and kind, going out of their way to recommend particular restaurants, shops and places of interest. The welcome package which we ordered as a separate service through Italy Perfect was particularly well chosen and complete. We would have no hesitation in recommending both Italy Perfect and the Michaela Apartment to others like ourselves who were looking for a comfortable refuge in the heart of Florence."
