"Thank you for providing the (truly) Elegante apartment in Rome! Everything was as advertised on the website, everyone we came in contact with was pleasant and helpful. My brother and sister-in-law flew in from London and were amazed at the beauty of the apartment; they demanded to know how we found it! During the week we were there everyone felt that we were living in Rome, not just being tourists. It was a "Perfect Italy" experience! Thank you again, Paul T. San Diego."

"This was a great apartment. We really appreciated its spaciousness, views and location. It was elegantly furnished, and very comfortable. Our greeter, Isabel, was easy to contact: she responded immediately, and also called us at the apartment as a follow up to emails."

"We were delighted with the apartment, the location on a darling alley w/all sorts of restaurants, a grocery store and the Piazza right around the corner. We walked everywhere from our home base. Nothing is out of reach by foot from this location. Would recommend it to anyone! Plenty of space for children if you were so inclined."

"We stayed for a week and found the apartment to be just the right size for the two of us. We enjoyed the terrace and appreciated the "American" coffee maker. The location probably couldn't have been any better. We were close to the train station, within walking distance of all the major attractions and restaurants, and as a runner, I loved being close to the river and trails. We highly recommend Trattoria Sostanza, but be sure to make reservations."

"The apartment was very well located and very comfortable. Our family of four had a lot of space in the apartment. We loved the restaurant Ginger nearby recommended by the owner. We used the guide Christina recommended by Italy Perfect and found her superb. We used her for touring the Vatican and the Ancient Rome. We would 100% recommend Italy Perfect to friends who want to locate an apartment in Rome. Many thanks."

"A quick comment to acknowledge we had a wonderful stay in our apartment in Florence. Admittedly the noise from the streets was prevalent.....but this was compensated for by the access and proximity to sites. I would highly recommend this apartment. Finally, our greeters were very helpful and cordial."

This apartment was spacious, sparkling clean, well-equipped, in a great location, and quite large. We were impressed that it had a washing machine and even a dishwasher. All detergents, etc., were provided. It is a block from the river, a few minutes from the tram line and a large park, and a reasonable walk to some attractions including the train station. The owner (a bilingual American) lives nearby and was happy to help us when needed. Her orientation of how things worked in the apartment was concise, clear, and valuable. We loved being there so highly recommend it.

"Our group of eight stayed very very comfortably in the Elegante apartment. The beds were very comfortable and everyone slept well. The apartment was very clean, well maintained and quiet. The kitchen was perfect for us to prepare our breakfasts and a couple of evening meals. There was also a small washer and dryer in the kitchen. We would definitely stay there again."

"The trip was wonderful. The accommodations in Florence had an excellent location. The unit was clean and well maintained. I would certainly go back as it provided an excellent base of operation to explore Florence. Rome was simply off the chart! The local staff were on top of every need and question. The apartment was simply breathtaking. Perfect location, outstanding appointments in the apartment and the best gelato a block away. No need for cabs everything was in walking distance"

"We thoroughly enjoyed your beautiful apartment. The location and neighbourhood could not be better. Charming Edgard was completely unobtrusive yet always available if we needed anything. We would stay with you again when next in Rome."

"We have just returned to the USA following our stay in Venice. The accommodations were exactly as described in the brochure and we found them to be excellent. Our greeter, Paula, was VERY HELPFUL in finding us walking on a nearby "street" looking for the apartment at that moment we thought we would never locate the correct address. She led us to a grocery store, made sure we understood the workings of the apartment, keys, appliances. laundry machine, door locks, etc. She was excellent. The location is excellent. We enjoyed our stay!"

"My sisters are calling this week in Rome the trip of a lifetime! Pasquino could not have been better for the 7 of us despite my worry that it wouldn't be large enough. Although there were three in the small bedroom they were all sisters and the beds were very comfortable, including the trundle. Nobody spent much time in there awake anyway. The skinny teenagers slept on the pullout couch and that too was just right for them. They stayed up later than everyone else and there were two doors between us and the living room. We heard nothing in the master bedroom. The windows really shut out the noise and although it is a lively area, no sleep was impacted. The two clean updated bathrooms with showers were a bonus. We were short one large towel but David just used hand towels and let us girls have the large ones. The area where the apartment is was our favorite part of Rome and after sightseeing elsewhere all were thrilled to come back to the apartment, we found great restaurants, wine bars, nightlife and shopping just steps from the apartment. The kitchen was a great gathering place.....beautifully spotless, clean and renovated. We didn't cook there but could have if we wanted to......all amenities were there. The Nespresso machine was a godsend and with seven of us, all the supply of espresso cups went by the end of the week. We could not find where to get more ..... Maybe that can be added to the book of instructions. The younger crowd walked everywhere....those of us with knee issues used the elevator and taxis. Very convenient!!!! Pat from ItalyPerfect helped me talk through options in advance and made suggestions of things to do that topped our list of favorite spots. Domus Romane is not to be missed and reserve early for the English speaking tours. The Pantheon after dark is spectacular. Caroline Vincenti was the best tour guide of the Vatican and Villa Borghese having written three books on art history. She helped us skip things that aren't as important and focus on the best of each. her husband is a food critic in Rome so her restaurant suggestions are better than any guide book. Viator made booking tours in advance easy but were more expensive than booking directly with Dark Rome or others once you are there. The car service Pat recommended to and from the airport - Stefano - was awesome and they do trips to Pompeii for much cheaper than we paid Viator to arrange. Avoid large bus touring and go for the small group van size tours. Hop on hop off buses are a good way to get acclimated to the area if you want to stay on and ride around town but in rome they don't make many stops. Our favorite restaurants near the apartment were Cul de Sac, Cantine e Cucina, Pace de la Palate. Night life spots that were the younger crowd favorites were Bar Del Fico and Mimi e Coco. Thank you to ItalyPerfect, our tour guides, and the wonderful friendly people in Italy for making this such a fabulous destination!! I will highly recommend Pasquino and Italy Perfect to all looking for accomodations in rome and will not hesitate to book a trip to another city using ItalyPerfect."

"We had a terrific visit to Florence and the apartment was perfect for our family (2 adults, 2 children) -- it fulfilled all of our needs in comfort and style, and the location could not have been better. When we were in the apartment with the balcony window open, we felt that were were in the thick of Florentine life. But when the window was closed,it was quiet and peaceful. Also, while I'm sure all of your greeters are wonderful, I am so glad that Isabel was our greeter. She was friendly and helpful and responsive and gave us great restaurant suggestions. When we had an issue with the hot water (the cleaning people had turned it off) Isabel responded to my email right away and give me the information I needed to turn on the furnace. She also offered to help me get a cab on the day we left. In small but important ways, she made our trip easier, and therefore more relaxing and enjoyable. We will enthusiastically recommend Italy Perfect to our friends looking for vacation rentals in Italy."

" Apartment Pasquino was spacious and comfortable. It had everything we needed for our month’s stay, and since I like to cook, I especially appreciated the well-equipped kitchen. Our greeter met us at our arrival, explained the workings of the apt, and afterward came right away to open a shutter that was stuck closed, thus giving me yet another window to enjoy the passing scene in the piazza below. In easy walking distance we found lots of restaurants, stores, a nearby supermarket, and so close, Piazza Navona, touristy and carnival-like these days, but nevertheless splendid. As to eating, a few doors from the apartment on the main drag, via del Governo Vecchio, and a few steps from the corner bookstore, is a superior sandwich shop with a variety of choices listed on the wall, all made fresh to order. Try the artichoke spread. Further up, on the same side of the street, is a moderately priced trattoria, Gino e Pietro, serving traditional Roman dishes. They make a nice saltimbocca. And look for the eatery right in the piazza, Cul de Sac, known for its meat and cheese specialties, and wines from all over the world. If you have an interest in art, you won’t want to miss La Chiesa San Luigi dei Francesi, which has two Caravaggio paintings, and is only a short walk from the apt. Only a block or two from there is another Caravaggio in La Chiesa di San Agostino. Several museums in the immediate neighborhood are worth seeing, especially Palazzo/Museo Altemps, with its collection of Greek and Roman antiquities. Our days were busy, so much to see and do, and in the evenings we had the further pleasure of strolling in and out of the lively streets surrounding the apt. This is our second rental with ItalyPerfect. How nice for us!"

"As usual, the service provided by you was excellent. The accommodations were superior to what we expected. The location was superb. In general the installations worked very well. As regarding to restaurants, we could make to suggestions that we enjoyed very much: Ristorante Il Paiolo (Via Del Corso, 42) and very near to the apartment, Trattoria Carne Alla Brace. By sure we have already recommended and we’ll continue recommending Italy Perfect to our friends. Looking to have another opportunity to use your service."

"In response to your feed back request I can only say....it was FANTASTIC. The apartment Medici was perfect, the view of Piazza Santa Croce right out our windows was beyond awesome. Your guidance to help us arrive was excellent! You made this dream vacation a reality without question. I feel fortunate to have found you on line. I have already spread the word to friends about Italy Perfect, and would certainly consider accommodation through Italy Perfect again. Thanks so very much, and all the best for 2014"

"There are 3 things of importance in an apartment to make your holiday stay great. This place has them . Position - close to the main Railway station-10 mins walk - the Doumo and Central Florence -5-10 mins walk.All the major attractions with in walking distance.Great shops, restaurants, and pastry shops just downstairs, or around the corner. Great Apartment - very elegant and has everything, much you won't use as we ate out a lot, but all you need is there. Most important for the travellers is the presence of a LIFT !! With the proximity of the busy little streets, double glazing of the bedroom made it totally quiet, so a good sleep after a lot of walking daily was both needed, and obtained.there are 2 other apartments in this former home of one of the owners, which do not back on to the street, but we had perfect sleeps. Helpful and attentive owners- the owners met us,explained the apartment, had maps and information books , and were available for advice or help if necessary. We could not recommend this apartment and the owners more highly!"

"The apartment was great, beautifully decorated,clean and comfortable. The location was perfect, we walked everywhere. The owners were very helpful and even drove us to the train station the day we left. The kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed cooking a few meals at home in the 10 days we stayed there otherwise there were several good restaurants within a few blocks of the apartment. Roses was a very romantic restaurant and the food was excellent. It is only a few blocks away. We highly recommend Italy Perfect and this apartment"

"Pasquino was a perfect apartment for my wife and 2 adult children for our week vacation in Rome. The location is ideal in that you can walk to almost any tourist site in Rome. The apartment is plenty spacious, clean, quiet and the kitchen is modern. It was very easy to make the reservation through Pat at Italy Perfect. Pat also referred us to Carolina Vincenti who was very helpful as a guide and for making dinner reservations."

"Over Christmas, 2013, we stayed in the Prisco apartment and our adult daughter stayed across the hall in the Strozzi apartment. It was an ideal situation. We were met by the charming Miki and Franco who helped us learn about the apartment and the area. For ten days we lived as the local people do, buying our groceries, preparing our Christmas dinner and enjoying take away and local restaurants when cooking seemed too onerous. The apartments were spacious and clean. The Prisco kitchen was well equipped. The wifi worked perfectly and the location was fabulous for visiting Florence."
