We stayed at the Pasquino apartment March 15-18, 2012.The best thing about the apartment is it's great location. From the apartment we were able to walk to almost every attraction on our list, including Vatican City,

Castel Sant'Angelo, the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navonna, and the Colosseum. We took a bus from the Colosseum to the Spanish Steps and walked back to the apt. from there stopping at our favorite attractions a second time along the way. We really liked the Piazza Navonna and it is literally a one minute walk away, just around the corner. We enjoyed the free breakfast each morning at the hotel but wished it were a little closer to the apartment.

We booked a Vatican tour with Cristina and it worked out great walking right in and seeing the highlights. We also returned on Sunday morning and saw the Pope from his apt window giving his 15 minute blessing in various languages to the crowd in Vatican square. We bought and printed out tickets to the Colosseum in advance at home and walked right by the long line and entered right in with no problem.

We had also booked Stephano in advance to pick us up at the airport and this too was a great time saver.

The apartment itself was also great for our family of 6.

Lots of space, nicely decorated and overall good accomodations. The hotel was very helpful when we had questions. The only problem we had was that the mattress in the main bedroom was way too hard. The noise outside on the street at night was loud but muffled enough but we tossed and turned on the hard mattress getting very little sleep.

One of the grocery stores on the apt list (the closest one) we found out is no longer a grocery store.

We had a great time in Rome and saw many attractions by foot thanks to the great location of the apartment. One thing we really liked was that around almost every corner you come across another piazza, fountain, or beautiful attraction! I have a bad knee but was able to walk to almost everything.

We would recomend this apartment and Italy Perfect to a friend.

Our family spent the Christmas Holidays in Rome and stayed in the Pasquino Apartment. We have two children in their late twenties. The accommdations were excellent and definitely made the trip. The apartment is large, good light, good beds, comfortable and had plenty of closet space. An added plus is the association with a hotel only one block away. The hotel was wonderful to us and Maximo gave us valuable information. Breakfast at the hotel comes with the apartment and they offer a good selection of food. The apartment is centrally located and we could walk everywhere. You are just steps away from a taxi waiting area or a bus stop. Be sure not to miss The Abbey, an Irish Pub that serves excellent food and everyone speaks English. Definitely a comfort place and it just up Via Del Governo Vecchio(maybe 1 block). Campo de fior is across the street and has a pastry shop(scelto di pane scelta)that has wonderful sandwiches. The shop is on your way into the market area.Very popular with the locals. Leave your cell phone at home. Buy a Samsung phone at Bros S.R.L. for 29Euros, it comes with 5Euros of time. We made calls to each other for 3 cents a minute and could call the USA for 8 cents a minute. The store is across the street from the hotel but there are many stores thru out Rome. You can add time as you go. We had the Blue Car Service pick us up at the Fiumicino Airport for 37 Euros,luggage included, a real bargin! We had a wonderful trip and staying at the Pasquino made the difference. My family definitely would recommend Italy Perfect.

We enjoyed the accommodation and its location. The apartments [Rome Pasquino and Florence Prisco] were well appointed and importantly for us the internet connection was consistently strong.

The location was perfect. Well positioned walking distance to all the major attractions.

There are many memorable locations and unfortunately we can't remember all the great restuarants by name, however, we were successful in wondering around and relying on instinct in terms of good restaurants.

I would definitely recommend Italy Perfect to a friend. The apartments are consistently excellent.

Pasquino was perfect for our family vacation in Rome. The photographs don't do it justice. It is nicer and larger than they indicate. It isn't 5 star luxurious, but very nice and comfortable. Compared to two decent hotel rooms in Rome, it is an incredible value.

The greeter was waiting for us and helped us with our luggage. He explained what we needed to know about the apartment. Being associated with the hotel was great, not only for the free continental breakfast (which offers more than danish and fruit), but also because there is always someone available if there is an issue. The linens were high quality and towels plentiful. The baths were well supplied with paper goods and toiletries. The fridge was stocked with bottled water and the pantry had most of the staples you would need. WiFi and heat worked fine. A nice touch was the selection of umbrellas by the front door for the one rainy day we had.

The location is great, Piazza Navona and Campo di Fiori are 1 and 2 blocks away respectively. You are on Governo Veccio, which has nice boutique shopping and restaurants/bars, including an Irish pub that shows NFL and Ncaa games. Pantheon is 5 minutes away. Spanish Steps is a 15 minute stroll.

This is a popular area that has several restaurants/bars downstairs and across the piazza and there were a couple of nights that we could hear the revelers from the living room. However the bedroom window has triple glass and noise was not a problem. The master bed is very firm, but not uncomfortable. My 15 and 17 year olds loved being in the middle of everything and we were comfortable with them being out in the area.

Overall, we couldn't have been more pleased with our choice of Pasquino

I had a wonderful trip in late October and stayed at this great apartment. Perhaps the greatest asset is its location. From here it's just a short walk to Campo de Fiori (which I visited nearly every day), Piazza Navona (a perfect way to end the day), as well as all the other must see places -- Spanish Steps, Pantheon, Capitoline Hill, Trevi Fountain. I never had to catch a cab or bus anywhere (except to reach St. Peter's). What a joy to see everything and feel so at home. One of my favorite memories was coming home from a day of wandering and hearing a street musician playing outside my window as if I was being seranaded.

[Didn't you know we organized that serenade for you?  So glad you enjoyed. ;-) Italy Perfect]

This apartment worked beautifully for our family of five (three daughters ages 16, 19, 21). It was more spacious and comfortable then I expected and nicely furnished. We all appreciated the wi-fi internet. The two bathrooms (one with tub/shower, one with shower) worked well once we figured out to make sure the hot water heater was on. The kitchen was nicely stocked with basics (tea, coffee,sugar, olive oil...). The connection to the Hotel Tiziano was a definite plus. The staff was very helpful, meeting us at the apartment, showing us how everything worked and explaining where to catch various buses for sightseeing. They also let me use their computer and printer at the hotel to print out our boarding passes and arranged for our taxi to the airport. It was nice to have the option of having breakfast at the hotel, although we more often just made coffee and had a light breakfast at the apartment. The location could not be better! On a cute little square that has some nice restaurants (loved the salad place) and is quite lively most evenings, two blocks from the Piazza Navona, and a five minute walk to the Campo di Fiori. We walked everywhere except to the Borghesi Museum (and the hotel explained where to get the bus to go there - we would never have found the bus stop on our own). The Vatican was a twenty minute walk (add an extra 10-15 minutes to go around to the entrance to the museum). Pantheon, Forum/Coliseum, Travestere - all very walkable. ALSO: Pat at Italy Perfect gave us great advice in general about trip planning and apart from the apartment, her most important contribution to our trip was the referral to our really wonderful Vatican private guide - Cristina Bonasera. She booked us an 8:15 reservation (well in advance), whisked us through the museum to go straight to the Sistine Chapel before it filled up with people. She was able to give us lots of great information while we were looking at the frescoes and we were able to enjoy the Chapel at our leisure, without the crowds. We then went back to the museum entrance and covered Cristina's selection of museum highlights (I think we were with her until 1:00 or 1:30). Cristina also made our reservations for the Borghesi gallery (definitely need to reserve in advance) even though we did that and everything else on our own. The only bit of difficulty I had was when I did some laundry in the apartment washing machine - it took a really, really long time to get through the cycle (seemed like hours) and I was worried that something was wrong with the machine or I had done something wrong. Only later did I read Pat's reassuring notes about appliances in Italy explaining that wash cycles can run up to two hours and that's normal! So read Pat's notes! Also be aware that there is no dryer - clothes drip dry on a rack in the kitchen - so don't wait till your last day to do a wash (I did figure that out on my own!) One other note - on a couple of nights there was a bit of noise from the lively crowd at the Piazza Pasquino - although for some odd reason the square was fairly quiet by midnight on the weekend evenings. It would be a good idea to have some earplugs if you are a light sleeper - just in case....

Since I had an accident at the Ufizzi in Florence, didn't make it to Rome. Our traveling companions did remark on the ideal location of the Pasquino apartment. Working with ItalyPerfect was ideal. Thanks Anyway.

This was our first trip to Rome and after seeing many parts of the city, we all agreed that our apartment was in the perfect location! The apartment overlooks the Piazza Pasquino, which is bustling and charming, and the impressive and beautiful Piazza Navona is one block away. We also loved being so close to the Campo di Fiori and the Pantheon. The apartment itself did not disappoint, either - it was spacious enough for seven of us, very well designed, and clean. Even the pullout couch was comfy! The breakfast each morning at the Hotel Tiziano was a great perk and the staff of the Hotel Tiziano was very helpful during our stay.

The trip was really wonderful (best we've had as a family) and the apartment was a big part of that. It was a great location and a great space for us (really more than we needed). The connection with the hotel was a big plus as we went there every morning for breakfast and the people there were very helpful and so nice! The apartment was comfortable, clean, well supplied, everything we needed (and more). All the arrangements were also right on target and extremely helpful. We used your recommended person to arrange to pick us up at the airport which was great. When we landed after the long flight I started worrying that I really didn't know what I was supposed to do or what we were getting ourselves into but then we found the driver you had suggested, and I pulled out all the materials you had sent, called the number, they immediately knew who we were, they were at the apartment within a few minutes of our arrival and the place was all ready for us (at 8am!). We immediately went to the hotel for breakfast and they greeted us so warmly and kindly we felt comfortable right away that our living situation for the next week was going to be great. The neighborhood was just PERFECT for us -- we ate in the neighborhood a couple of times (first night and last night, I think) and Larry and I found a great wine bar that we could go to right in the neighborhood so the kids could just go home. We all started thinking of it as our home very quickly! We used your list of restaurants a lot -- it was so nice to have so many choices and so much information about each place. Finally -- when we left we had the person you recommended pick us up to take us to the airport and he was very reliable and there exactly when we asked him to be (even though it was 6:30 am on Easter Sunday). The ONLY down side of all of this was the day trip we took to Pompeii -- it was kind of a disaster and we were all sort of sorry we 'wasted' a day on a trip that was not really worth the money. We found it through a link from your materials. The company was not at all clear about where to meet the bus (we were not the only family that was in the wrong place for this trip -- there were 11 of us in the wrong place). When we finally were able to reach them by cell phone they told us the bus had left but that it would come back for us -- when we got to the bus there were not enough seats for everyone so they convinced someone to get off and take the trip the next day. The bus was absolutely PACKED, every seat full so we could not sit together. BAsically, all they gave us was a crowded uncomfortable 3 hours bus ride there and back and we paid a lot for that. We figured out later it would have been much better to just take a train ourselves.  We just loved Rome so much we were sorry that we missed out on another day in Rome for a not great day to Pompei. But, that was the only thing -- everything else was fabulous. We would absolutely recommend the apartment and your company to others and when we plan another trip, we will certainly get in touch.

This apartment is ideally located and surprisingly quiet, considering how noisy Rome can be. The association with the hotel is a big bonus as well, not only for breakfast but also for the availability of the staff there.

The beds are comfortable, and the rooms are well laid-out. It may take a little while to figure out the shower's controls, but the water is hot and the pressure is fine.

Thanks, Italy Perfect!

Super location, close to excellent restaurants such as Terra di Siena; the walk to breakfast was just perfect. Lastly very clean and quiet.

This apartment is located in the Piazza Pasquino which is very close to the Piazza Navona. We stayed for around 8 days in September 2010.

The best thing about the apartment for us was the location - it was central, with many shops and restaurants at the door. Piazza Pasquino and the Via del Governo Vecchio quickly felt familiar -there was a fabulous supermarket on Via del Governo Vecchio which looked small but had a big range of fresh food, including freshly baked bread. The apartment was quiet - although it was a busy area we found that there was very little street noise and in any case we often opened the windows to hear the cafes and general lively Rome ambience.

The apartment was a reasonable size, although we had just come from a much larger apartment in Florence so Pasquino suffered by comparison. It was also a bit dark and the decor was rather old fashioned - this is a matter of personal taste obviously. The layout of the rooms was good with the bedrooms and living area separate. We found the main bed quite firm (!!) but this had been noted on the website, so we had been warned.

We checked in with no problems and the association with the Hotel Tiziano was a plus.

The kids book Pat sent was excellent. It got a lot of use, so thanks!

Situated a 1 minute walk from the Piazza Navonna, the Pasquino Apartment was a wonderful place to stay for our week in Rome. The spacious 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apt was completely furnished with everything we needed. It's association with the Hotel Tiziano (down the street) allowed us to enjoy the hotel's breakfast every morning at no additional charge, as well as allowing us to make use of the hotel's concierge service to answer or questions or book taxis.

I would suggest that the owner install a proper shower in the 2nd bathroom. All that is really needed is a bracket to hold the shower head - as it currently stands, you have to hold the shower head in your hand while showering and that is inconvenient.

We most enjoyed the spaciousness of the apartments, something that did not come across that well on the web site. I was actually expecting it to be much smaller. A nice size living room with comfortable furniture, cable TV with international stations, and wireless internet access were all greatly appreciated. The apartment is very, very quiet for being right above restaurants on the Piazza Pasquale, but we enjoyed opening the windows at night before we went to bed to listen to the sounds of the street, especially the street musicians and singers.

The neigbhorhood was loaded with excellent restaurants and shops and we could walk to most tourist destinations within 20 minutes.

Italy Perfect representative Pat Byrne did an outstanding job preparing us for our trip to Italy, providing abundant information on restaurants, travel tips, using cell phones, etc. which proved to be very helpful to us.

We would definitely stay there again and have told our friends about the Perfect Pasquino.

Our family of 6 loved Pasquino. The apartment was very comfortable and very convenient to just about everything. THe neighborhood had a lot of character. It reminded me of Greenwich Village in the summertime. There was alot going on ,alot to see. THe streets did not go to sleep until late at night. My older children found it very exciting. The hotel Tiziano was a great plus. The staff were very kind and very helpful Their american coffee at breakfast was better than any american coffee I ever tasted in NY. We had a wonderful experience adn would love to stay there again when we return to Rome. It was the perfect choice for us. There were many wonderful restaurants in the area. We tried something different every night. We used your list but even tried wome off the list. We were never disappointed and we are Italian and cook all the time.Every little street and alley had something interesting to see. Nearby, Piazza Navona was also a very interesting place. SOmething always going on there. I would not recommend this area to someone who prefers a quiet atmosphere. THis was a lively place.I can't wait to return. YOur service was excellent from beginning to end. The websites were very helpful and very informative. It was very easy to use your services.

We just returned from four days (June 2 thru June 7) in Rome where we stayed in the Pasquino apartment. I can't begin to describe what a perfect place this is to stay. First, the accomodations were large, especially the living area. The windows opened onto the Piazza Pasquino which was wonderful. The Piazza is lively and an terrific place to be. Also, and even better, the apartment is only 1/2 block from the Piazza Navona. Piazza Navona is always a happening place. Before arriving we were concerned about how well stocked the apartment would be. Trust me, it has everything you could need, including good A/C. A great benefit as well is the fact that there is a nice grocery about a block or two toward the river. Just down the street is the Baffetto, which is the best pizza in Rome. Go to the following link. (http://www.fodors.com/news/story_3010.html. The restaurant just across the street from the Pasquino was also very good and the people were friendly. There is a cab stand close by and plenty of ATM's, though you may have try several until you find one that works with your card. For US cards, look for Bank of Sao Paulo or Deutsche Bank. Banc of Rome and it's affiliated did not work.

Also, the people at the Hotel Tiziano were excellent and very helpful. This is where you check in upon arrival. It is only about a 5 minute walk from the apartment.

In closing, the Pasquino is wonderful and we would never imagine staying any where else in Rome. It just feels like home.

Gorgeous apartment in a prime location: a stone's throw from the Piazza Navona and an easy walk to many of the great sites of Rome. The information and service provided by Italy Perfect was great and the nearby hotel provided a delicious breakfast and a helpful concierge staff. The apartment itself is spacious, airy and nicely appointed. One recommendation we have is to bring some earplugs, because the streets of Rome are noisy and this apartment is located in an area popular both with locals and tourists. Sit during the evening and enjoy a limoncello on the Piazza Navona; it is glorious.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Pasquino apartment.  The apartment is spacious and clean, with comfy beds and sofas, plentiful linen, and a fast and reliable internet connection.  The apartment is perfectly located and we walked almost everywhere, even with two little ones.   And when we got tired, the buses on the Corsa Vittorio Emanuele II were nearby and frequent.  We dined locally in the evenings and the kids loved playing on the Piazza Navona and gorging on ice-cream afterwards.   We also found the links with the hotel very beneficial – it was great to have breakfast every morning to get us up and on our way, and somewhere to leave our bags on the day of departure.  The staff were always polite and helpful and we were grateful for the welcoming touches of bottled water in the fridge and milk.   We would love to return some day.

Can't begin to tell you what fun we had. Apartment worked beautifully. Super area, so close to everything. Fabulous restaurants nearby. Loved all your handy Rome tips too. The driver you recommended was prompt and courteous. We have told many of our friends about our wonderful stay at your Pasquino apartment. Thanks again for all the great service and advice.

We have a marvelous stay at the apartment. You couldn't ask for a better location, everything we wanted was nearby! Had a wonderful private tour of the Vatican on day which I highly recommend. The apartment was clean, comfortable and just exactly what we wanted for our first Rome vacation. Thank you for your terrific service!
