"We arrived in Florence at 12.30pm, resigned to the fact that we would be waiting until 5pm to see Casetta Bonsi, as this is the usual check-in time. Therefore we were over the moon when Maurizio phoned me as the train pulled into the station to say that everything was ready for us. He and his wife Gabrielle were waiting for us, and showed us around the house, explaining things as they went. We loved the extra touches such as the bathroom, kitchen and laundry supplies, and of course the welcome wine and biscuits. Casetta Bonsi is very close to the Ponte Vecchio, grocery store, restaurants and souvenir shops but is very quiet. It is comfortably furnished and has a lovely little balcony perfect to sit and relax. We ate out every night, using the list Maurizio gave us as our guide, and enjoyed each dining experience. We'll be recommending Casetta Bonsi to our friends, and hope to stay here again if we return to Florence."

"We loved being at Casetta Bonsi. The location was perfect for visiting the city, running along the river and enjoying a neighborhood. It was convenient to everything, especially food shops, restaurants and all the major sights. What fun to look across the river at the Ufizzi! Maurizio met us and was gracious and welcoming. We were greeted with full information and instructions on everything in the apartment, which was very comfortable and well equipped. A bottle of wine and a pie were our welcome gift! We especially loved the little balcony, and being able to do laundry was a plus. I would certainly recommend Italy Perfect (and all of the "sister sites") to anyone. The entire booking experience was comprehensive and easy and well organized. Special thanks to Lisa for the great information on making the most of our time in Italy. We are only sorry that you didn't have a Venice apartment available when we were there! Best, Barbara"

We found the Vespucci apartment to be as advertised: neat, clean, conveniently located to the city center, train station, shopping, etc. The local restaurants, shopping, museums, historical sites and central location for visiting other parts of Tuscany made Florence one of our favorite stops. If you're looking for something different to do, try a one day cooking class, it's so much fun. Our host/greeter also helped make our stay truly enjoyable by always being available to answer questions or provide essential information about the local area. We would certainly recommend Italy Perfect and specifically the Vespucci apartment to anyone looking to visit Florence. If you are thinking of renting a car and driving you should reconsider. The ZTLs (limited traffic zones} are virtually impossible to avoid and if you enter one without the proper authorization for your vehicle, you can expect to receive a rather expensive ticket.

"The accomodations exceeded our expectations, centrally located for touring Florence, easy access from the train station, in an upscale shopping area. Apartments was very quiet with use of a washing machine, internet, secure apartment with very spacious and modern bathroom. Sleeper sofa was easy to use and comfortable for 2. No real view but you can't beat the price on this one! We would return and have already recommended to close friends. Micki and Franco were very kind, thorough and helpful. Lots of great little restaurants in the area. Gucci and all of the top-end stores are on the same street, so very nice location. Try out Casalinga (they don't speak much English, but worth it!) across the Arno river in the Oltrano area or Marione - have the steak and potatoes with rosemary, yummy! Recommend the Uffizi, the David at the Accademie, tombs of Galileo and Michaelangelo at Santo Spirito, the Museo at the Duomo and definitely "Florence for Foodies - add on the tour of David" - it was just the best way to learn about the food of Florence - you'll also learn about the very best gelato in the world, right in Florence...I highly recommend Italy Perfect! We also took 2 tours from walkaboutflorence.com into the Tuscan countryside (visited an organic farm) and the Cinque Terre walk, both nice if you are spending 5-6 days in Florence."

"We absolutely loved the Tesoro apartment. It's in a phenomenal location and the pictures don't do it justice. What an amazing property - we would highly recommend it."
Melissa and Joe
"The property was very clean and well maintained and the location was extremely convenient to everything that Florence has to offer. There were very good restaurants less than 5 minutes away and a fully stocked grocery store not much farther than that. The communication from Italy Perfect was very helpful and timely. We would not hestitate to recommend them."

"The terrace was amazing along with the location and the elegant furnishings made this property a terrific experience during our stay in Rome."
Geno
"Our apartment in Florence was in so many ways fantastic.the actual apartment was very spacious with very nice furnishings. The fotos did not do it justice.second the location could not be any better. Right at the foot of the pontevecchio bridge with views indescribable. This would be a great apartment for a family who were taking children to Italy. From Lisa whose company Italy perfect was there when we had a small plumbing issue and provided a book for a resource for Florence to our Italian liaison Francesca who gave us great advise about restaurants to fixing our Internet made us very comfortable living in Firenze which we did the entire month of September. We have travelled extensively but this was our first time renting an apartment but won't be our last Gb"

"this is a terrific place with virtually no caveats--location is right in the middle of the best shopping/accessible to every key church and museum/two blocks away from the Duomo and republic square/within one mile of at least 35 wonderful restaurants and the river Arno as well as the other side--a ten minute walk from the pont vecchio-- the apt is clean and comfy--the washer works without a problem and the deck is easy for clothes drying in the sun/the stove top works fine but is small and real cooking is difficult--better do easy stuff like eggs,toast and coffee- the elevator works as does the AC--there are two good super markets nt far away--they sell oatmeal which was key for me -seems americans can't find this in italy but you can now--at con ads in the cereal section on the lowest shelf-you will have to run the AC if you don't like noise to sleep with-we did and it works-people are not friendly but affable the two owners are gems and are helpful beyond reasonable--enormously nice people i would stay there again i would use Italy Perfect again"

The Vespucci apartment was clean and relatively spacious with a lot of natural light during the day. The Florence weather during our visit was such that we could open the windows and rely on natural ventilation. The apartment is in a very quiet residential area, but located close enough to the center of Florence that we walked to our destinations most days. It’s also only a short block from the River Arno, although there are no river views from the apartment. Our greeter was friendly and accommodating. She provided an excellent set of oral instructions for the apartment on arrival. She also provided extra service by acting as the contact person for one of our party who arrived late because of a cancelled flight. While she didn’t hover, she was available to answer our questions during our stay. The Café al Comunale, right across the street was a great place for a continental breakfast or an early evening drink (closed Sundays). We had an excellent dinner at an Oltrarno restaurant, IO – osteria personale. The chef uses the ingredients of traditional Florence dishes, but combines them in modern, lighter creations. We also liked the look of the restaurant, with its clean modern lines (some would call it stark).
"David Lesnini
"A wonderful little house steps from the Ponte Vecchio. It had everything one could want for a stay in Florence, including a gift of flowers, wine, fruit and sweets from the owners. Lots of restaurants in the area, as well as a grocery store nearby. We couldn't have asked for anything more!"
Diana Spicer
"The apartment was lovely. Great location. Staff very helpful. Thanks for helping us with such a great holiday!"

"The accommodations were as represented. The location couldn't have been better for our needs. Our only suggestion is this: if your want to see the country side when traveling by train as we did, don't take the high-speed trains. They get you there quickly but everything is a virtual blur. We would recommend Italy Perfect and, in fact, we have. Thanks for a great experience."

"Tesoro is the most amazing apartment we have stayed in. One block from Santa Croce, great neighborhood. The place is AMAZING - you walk into a hallway with frescoes and the whole home is tastefully and gracefully decorated with art treasures. It is well worth the price. The home is large - lots of rooms, and even a loft in the bedroom. Kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. The bedroom has a large comfy bed with walk in bathrooms (with long tub to soak in!) right next to it. Terrace is so relaxing and quiet - just what you need as a respite from busy Florence. Our greeter was amazing - she knows Florence as she wrote guides to it and gave us many helpful recommendations. We can't wait to go back!"

Roger
"The apartment was exactly 'as advertised'. Spacious (could easily accomodate a group of 6) and well decorated. The terrace was wonderful. A nice place for coffee in the morning or a drink in the evening. Kitchen was very well equipped. The apartment is walking distance from the major sites which is a huge asset. The greeter was absolutely fantastic. She not only checked us in the apartment but she was helpful throughout our stay with everything. Great restaurant just across the bridge - 4Leone."
Bob L
"The Paolina apartment is small, but the owner has made great use of the space. The apartment had everything our family needed. It was well located next to public transportation and a market where we could buy food. We enjoyed the pizza place next door. We highly recommend this apartment."
Julie and Alan
"This apartment is centrally located in Florence overlooking the Ponte Vecchio and the Vasari coridor.Just over the bridge is an excellent grocery store . This apartment gives you easy access to the Oltrarno area. A favorite pizzaria (pizzaria giusti) and gelateria (ponte s. trinita) are in this area. The apartment was very comfortable and offers a memorable view of the Arno. Our greeter, Francesca, was attentive and responsive. At one point one of the toilets stopped flushing and she quickly rectified the problem. I would recommend this appartment to a friend."

"The Serenata apartment was perfect! The apartment was lovely and the best part was the roof terrace. We ate breakfast each morning on the terrace overlooking the beautiful canals of Venice. The location of the apartment was ideal. We were close to all the major sites. In fact, we could walk to almost everything! I highly recommend this apartment! It was a great stay and we hope to return one day!"
Ida Brown
"The apartment was excellent. The location was perfect with quick access to taxis, shops historical areas, an excellent grocery shop and excellent restaurants. The owner was a gracious hostess and in her absence was always accessible via cell phone. Nellie, the very capable housekeeper, was reliable and freindly.Yes, I would recmmend this apartment."

"My husband and I along with our 3 teenage children stayed at the Spagna apartment in July, 2012. The accommodations were exactly as depicted in the photos on the Italy Perfect website. The apartment was comfortable and had all the amenities we required. The terrace was amazing! Even though it was very hot, we still were able to sit out in the morning and the evening. Around 10pm one evening my husband and I were enjoying the terrace, and all we could hear was a flute player in the street. It was lovely! The location was perfect! It was close to a very busy street, but was very quiet. Never heard any traffic or people, even during the day. We were within walking distance of many sites. Right around the corner on Via Del Corso was shopping, a coffee shop, and close by was a grocery store. There were many restaurants just a couple blocks away. Would definitely recommend this apartment. I searched several hours looking for the perfect accommodations, and found Italy Perfect to have some of the nicest rentals. Pat was always prompt at answering any questions I had for her. All the extra information provided, from dining, shopping, sites, as well as various tidbits of facts, was very helpful. I would definitely recommend Italy Perfect! Thanks Pat!"
