Greg Davis – Houston, TX
My wife and I booked with ItalyPerfect for our Italian honeymoon.  This marked our first time renting an apartment for a vacation as well as our first trip overseas together.  After such a wonderful experience in ItalyPerfect's lovely Florentine accommodations (highly recommend the Prisco property), we have sworn off pricey, less-spacious boutique hotels forever!

Dannette & Samir Cook – Somerset, Kentucky
The apartments were great [Rome Tiberio & Florence Prisco] and we really liked the contact people as well.

Jill Cost – Kona, Hawaii
I just wanted to let you know we had an amazing time in Florence. The accommodations at the Prisco apartment were beyond our expectations. It was so conveniently located to SACI, our daughter’s apartment, all the activities in the city, the train station and the car park. Thank you again. We will definitely recommend your company to our friends and we hope to return to Italy soon.

Mike Efferson - Iraq
Yes, I made it back to Iraq after a wonderful time in Italy, Rome and Florence were very interesting and different in their own way.  The Prisco Apartment is a great property with loads of room and very comfortable.  The weather was a little cool I'm sure that in warmer times of the year to open the windows overlooking the street would be very nice.  Franco and Miki were extremely accommodating and it was pleasure to have met them.  They explained everything upon our arrival even to the point of verifying the utility meters readings. 

Maggie Springer – Lancaster, Pennsylvania
We had a fantastic time in Florence. The apartment was just perfect. Little did I know when I booked it, that it was literally less than 100 yards from the school our daughter is attending, the Institute at the Palazzo Ruccelai. How convenient, as we were able to get together often between classes. It was a great getaway and we would very much book a trip with you again as well as recommend you to friends. Instructions were very much appreciated and made for a smooth trip. Thank you for everything.

Janice Lawrence - Ft. Collins, Colorado
Thanks again for all our your help setting up a vacation of a life time.  It was Perfect! (I guess that is where you got your name from!)
 

Laurence Hickey - Pittsford, New York
Our stay was wonderful!!! We had an absolutely delightful time in the apartment.  What a gem!  In addition, how can you beat the location? Miki and Franco were so nice to us.  They were incredibly friendly and hospitable. My only complaint was that we didn't stay longer. Thanks for all your help.

Liesel and Graeme Sharp - Kingston ACT Australia
Yes, we had a fantastic time in the Prisco apartment. Having access to the PC was great - as was the travel agent across the road. We even got game at the end of our stay, and visited the square to have brekkie at the bar with the local business men (once we worked out where to order our cappucino and pastry). We'd definitely stay in the Prisco apartment again - and if travelling with friends/ family, look at one of the other apartments as well. Thanks for all your help and organisation - it really did make our trip very special.

Jeff Shabel – San Diego, California
All three apartments in Florence (Prisco, Michaela and Strozzi) worked out great. We loved having everyone in the same building (and hallway). That was perfect. The units were exactly as advertised and they were in a GREAT location in Florence. We liked it a lot and would definitely stay there again if we came back to Florence in the future. Two of our favorite restaurants were a stone's throw away -- Il Latini and Osteria Bella Donne.

Jeana Hurst - Healdsburg, California
We had such a great time in Florence. The apartment and greeters were terrific. You warned us of the noise, and we tried to sleep through it. The location was perfect. We shopped and explored from morning until night. Thanks for your help. I will highly recommend ItalyPerfect to all my friends.

Pamela Hanson - Santa Cruz, California
I felt very safe and comfortable in the apartments [Michaela and Prisco]. Miki and Franco went out of their way to help me with some things unrelated to the apartment, and I had everything I could possibly need. The neighborhood is great and I absolutely loved being right in the center of town, able to come and go easily and utilize the kitchen and the quiet for inbetween all of my sightseeing and Florence activities. It was so easy to communicate with Lisa- she always responds promptly and kindly to any inquiries. I highly recommend the apartments offered through Italy Perfect.

Rae Livingstone - Glasgow, Scotland
We had a great time at both apartments -the Flaminio in Rome and the Prisco in Florence. We found everything to be just as advertised on your website - in fact, even better! We decided on ItalyPerfect after having a wonderful stay with ParisPerfect two years ago. Our hosts, Rene in Rome and Miki and Franco in Florence were delightful and welcoming. Everything in the apartments was of high quality yet both were informal and easy to use. The locations were ideal. The whole experience was so simple and straightforward to book and organize. We have already passed on details to friends. We look forward to booking with you again!

Kathryn Benedett - Westport, Connecticut
We had a wonderful time! Franco and Miki are two of the nicest folks and couldn't have been more helpful! The apartment worked out beautifully for our family.

Stephanie Bergsma - Del Mar, California
We loved the apartment (it's very grand!) and the location. Miki and her husband are wonderful.

Galina Baskin - Albany, New York
Trip was great and Prisco apartment is really really good, location and everything. Thank you very much.

Steve Wong - Sunnyvale, California
Thanks again for everything. You've been extremely professional and a pleasure to do business with. Miki and Franco were very accommodating. My family and I had a great time in Italy...will definitely recommend you to others.

S. Deutscher - Columbia, Missouri
Renting from your agency was so easy. We have traveled to Italy over twelve times before, but this time it did not take much fuss as in wiring money, etc. We rented for one week the Prisco Apartment in Florence March 4-11, 2007. The apartment Prisco in Florence was awesome. It way exceeded our expectations. There were so many niceities including fancy linens, towels, bath robes, kitchen extras, free computers/internet, I could go on. It was so elegant and much bigger than the pictures would depict. The owners Mkki and Franco were quite charming and their English was very good. The neighborhood where the apartment was in was excellent and importantly, very safe. We walked everywhere, from the Market every morning to the train station, Congressi, Palazzo Vecchio, over the Arno and beyond. The Apartment Prisco was the best part of our one week stay in Florence. I was almost crying when we left.

J. Wilkerson - Belvidere, New Jersey
We had a fantastic time!! The apartments [Prisco and Strozzi] were lovely; Franco and Micki were extremely kind and accommodating!

Charlie & Jamie Porter - LaGrange Park, Illinois
We stayed in the Prisco apartment for our honeymoon this Sept/October. It was our very first international travel experience, and because of Lisa, Miki, and Franco, our trip was one we will never forget. The apartment was so much more than we expected and it was such a joy to be greeted by such kind and helpful people as Miki and Franco. They made themselves readily available to answer questions and make us feel at ease. The apartment is situated in a very ideal part of Florence. We spent many nights a few blocks down the street at the Piazza della Republica listening to music and enjoying all that Florence has to offer. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and we can't wait to visit Italy again.

S. Crawford - Toronto, Canada
We also enjoy the beautiful spacious apartments [Prisco & Michaela] and the two worked well from location, lay out & to the friendly owners greeting us, offering suggestions and help the entire time and leaving us welcome bottles of Tuscany wine on arrival.

K. Faltin - Louisville, Kentucky
We had an incredible trip to Italy!  Miki and Franco and Marco were wonderful to us.  Thank you so much for all of your efforts and kindnesses in getting us booked into the Prisco.  It was a lovely apartment and an unbeatable location for us.  The World Cup Games made things all the more exciting!  Again, our sincere thanks.

L. Riciputi - Oakridge, Tennessee
We enjoyed our stay at Prisco.  The location was excellent, and the apartment is fabulous...one of my daughters and I took great joy in just sitting at the open window in the evening and watching the people go by. 

Jim & Mary Dorskind - Oakland, California
The apartment was great, especially the location.  It was large enough that we didn't get in each other's ways, and the beds were quite comfortable.  Franco et al. were quite welcoming and helpful.  We had a great time getting reacquainted with Florence.

Susan Zeig - New York, New York
Just wanted to let you know that everything worked out perfectly in Florence. The apartment was lovely and Miki and Franco were extremely nice. Thank you and hope to rent another apartment in Italy from you at another time.

Bonner Guilford - Troutman, North Carolina
A great trip, good food.  Really enjoyed the apartment.  The location was perfect, if a bit noisy at night.  Miki and Franco were great and extremely helpful. Thanks for all your help with the apartment. My best to Miki and Franco.

John Gorman - Malvern, Pennsylvania
Just a note to let you know that we thoroughly enjoyed the apartment. Miki and Franco went out of their way to assist us with our needs and they were a complete delight. You are in good hands with them. The alimentari just down the street on the via Spada (we thought we discovered it until we saw it as one of your recommendations) treated us as new family (the good kind). We plan to return and use your services again.

Kevin Krafty - Minneapolis, Minnesota
Even though the weather in early December was less than ideal, we had a wonderful time in Florence due in no small part to the Prisco apartment. The location is perfect with easy access to the train station (handy for our day trips to Sienna and Lucca), numerous dining and shopping opportunities in the neighborhood, and virtually everything you may want to see in Florence within walking distance. The apartment amenities were all that we could ask for and the decor was very well done, from the modern bathroom to the bedroom that looks like a movie set -- one of the rare times when we could say that something was truly better than advertised. And Miki, Franco and Marco were warm, welcoming hosts. We look forward to doing business with you in the future.

Bob Krmpotich - Salem, New Hampshire
The apartment was great once we got the little snafu with the heat fixed. It was well outfitted and the location was great!

Bill & Paulette Sheubrooks - Vero Beach, Florida
We had a great trip. The Prisco Apartment was perfect - a great location, large, and equipped with everything needed. Miki and her husband were most helpful.

Diana F. Von Behren - New Orleans, Louisiana
Just a quick note to make a few remarks about my stay in the Prisco Apartment this past July. As a recently displaced evacuee of New Orleans during the recent Hurricane Katrina disaster, I can only say that the memories of my stay in that lovely apartment on Via Della Spada have helped sustain my natural exuberance during a difficult time.

The apartment is large and extremely functional. As my companion and I enjoyed dining in during the evening, we fully appreciated the more than adequate kitchen facility. The modern bathroom accomodated frequent bathing and changes during the hot July weather. The large airy windows which opened out onto the street provided just the right aural invitation to the Florentine nightlife while ventilating the elegant living space during the morning and late afternoon. The naturally cool environment of the bedroom, enhanced with closed shutters and some nighttime running of the air conditioning afforded a most comfortable sleep-enducing haven.

Whenever my plans return me to Italy, I will make certain that an ItalyPerfect locale is part of my itinerary. In particular, returning to Florence will be a certain joy; just knowing that special place awaits on the Via della Spada evokes a secret smile equal to any immortalized by the city's reknowned artists.

Incidently, Miki and her husband were absolutely wonderful, allowing us to leave our luggage in the apartment after the appointed departure time. Miki called us a cab and suggested just the right time for us to wait outside the door on the Via della Spada, so that we spent the minimal amount of time on the street. She actually escorted us to the curb and waited with us as we waited, entertaining us with stories of her life in the very apartment in which we stayed. Simply lovely.

I read my brother's comment regarding the noise from the street, making it impossible to keep the windows open in lieu of using the AC while attempting to sleep --- quite honestly, I found the 'noise' both comforting and inviting. It not only 'called to me' in that way that only a European city can call one, but it also lulled me into some of the deepest, most relaxing sleep I have ever experienced as an adult, especially after a busy day sightseeing the city.

After witnessing the breakdown of the city in which I live after Hurricane Katrina, you can perhaps understand and empathize with the spell my Florence/ItalyPerfect has cast upon me. A little street noise would be a welcoming thing!

Victoria & Jiim St. Louis - Fraser, Maryland
We are back from our month long trip to Italy and had a marvelous time. The two apartments [Prisco & Medici] were wonderful and yet so different. The Prisco was perfectly located as this was our first time to Florence and it was close to all our points of interest. The only downside was it was pretty noisy between the restaurant down below and the street sweepers and garbage men in the early morning. That was a small price to pay for staying in a beautiful apartment smack dab in the middle of everything. The bedroom was lovely and the bed very comfortable. My 18 year old son slept on the pull out couch and said it was great. I enjoyed the kitchen as I love to cook and found it very sufficient. Overall we would definitely stay there again! The Prisco was my son and husband's favorite in Florence.

Charles Bradshaw - Alpharetta, Georgia
Thank you!  We had a wonderful time and especially enjoyed your food recommendations.  I'm going back to Florence just to visit Giovanni's restaurant again.

Rebecca Strenge - Seattle, WA
We had a great time in the apartment. It was a great location, it was very nice to have air conditioning. Marco was very helpful, having access to laundry was very nice. You did a great job explaining the area to us and giving us useful tips on places to eat etc. Thank you very much for everything and we would love to work with you again if and when we get to Europe again. I really enjoyed staying in one place and getting to know the area more. 

Jeanne Harding & Janet Bach - Saginaw, Michigan
We had a great time in Italy! We considered the Prisco apartment a perfect place for our first stay in Europe. So much more character than a hotel room. And larger than we expected. This was exactly what Janet and I were looking for! It was a lovely, clean place with all the comforts and amenities we needed. I slept on the sofa bed and even thought it was comfortable. The apartment's proximity to the sites of Florence was a real plus. We also appreciated your list of suggested places of dining and shopping. We used that information often. Overall, the detailed written information and instructions were very helpful throughout our stay. Miki and Franco were wonderful people and a great pleasure to meet during our first introduction to Florence. Overall, I would not hesitate to return to the Prisco apartment. And I would recommend it to anyone going to Florence, but with a warning about the street noise. It was a pleasure doing business with you. Janet and I decided that communicating with an english speaking American who was so prompt in responding to our inquiries, made making our travel plans much less stressful.

Frank Faillace - Reston, Virginia
Thanks for all the help. The Prisco apartment and location were great! The only problem was street noise if you planned to sleep with the windows open. Otherwise very comfortable and accessible to everything.

M. Sorensen - Pasadena, California
Miki and Franco are GREAT!  The apartment situation and the accommodations with the internet access etc. was PERFECT!  I cannot say enough great things about our experience in Florence. The apartment was very clean - the linens were fresh.  

Barbara Atherton - Newbury Park, California
We just returned to the USA last night and wanted to thank you for helping us get in touch with Miki & Franco and the appartamento Prisco!! What lovely people!! They made us feel instantly at home!! We had a wonderful time exploring Florence and hope to visit again!! There was so much we didn't get to do!!

Victoria & Cary Flynn
My husband & I had the most marvelous time! We felt right at home in the apartment, which is lovely and so convenient. We felt like true Florentines. We travel to Europe often and are convinced apartment-renting is so much nicer, expecially in a large city...we will certainly be in touch with you for our next trip to Italy. Thanks also to Miki, Franco & Marco. Such a warm family.

Barry & Deryl West - Atlanta, Georgia
Our entire trip was wonderful, but the Prisco apartment was by far our best accommodations - a beautiful, elegant apartment that allowed us, for far too brief a time, to feel we were living in Florence, rather than just visiting. The apartment exceeded our expectations, which were already pretty high, based on the extensive photos your website provides. Your photos and descriptions are 100% accurate, the location is perfect and Miki, Franco and Marco could not have been more gracious or helpful. Marco was punctual in meeting us at the apartment at the agreed upon times to both check in and check out as well as responding immediately to our questions. When we went to the train station after checking out and found that the Italian train system had decided to take the day off by calling a 24 hour strike, I returned to the apartment to ask for advice on how we could get to Venice that day. Not only were Miki, Franco and Marco very sympathetic to our plight, for the next 20 to 30 minutes they looked up numbers and made calls to coach lines and about a dozen car rental agencies to try to find alternate transportation for us. At last Marco was able to locate what was apparently the last car available for rent one way to Venice, allowing us to continue our travels with only a slight delay. My wife and I greatly appreciate their kindness and assistance.
 
Florence is a beautiful city and, in our opinions, the Prisco apartment is the perfect place to stay in Florence. We hope to be able to return to both soon.
 
Thank you for your service - our 25th anniversary was all the more special because of the apartment and the ease with which we were able to book it through you. Your recommendations on restaurants were far more reliable than the guide books! We hope we will be able to return to Florence in the future; if we are so fortunate, we will definitely be in touch. Many thanks.
 

G. Emerling - New Haven, Connecticut
I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay in the Prisco apartment. Miki and Franco were great and my son, Jae, had a great time speaking to them both. Thank you and I will recommend your apartments to all my colleagues here at Yale.

Charles Harmon - New York, New York
The apartment was spacious and ideally located.  It had everything we could want --- even an American-style coffee maker!  Every arrangement was exactly as described on ItalyPerfect's Web site and we were most pleased.  We will certainly recommend this apartment to all our friends and we hope to use ItalyPerfect again for our next trip.

Rachel Dickon
The three of us had a really lovely stay. The sofa bed was the most comfortable I've ever slept on. The apartment is just as stunning as the pictures - comfy, spacious, and a fantastic bathroom. The location is perfect! Micky and Franco are helpful, responsive, and warm - we felt very warmly welcomed!

E. & P. Mulley - Victoria, B.C.
We've just gotten back from Firenze and the Prisco apartment -- lovely place, and Miki and Franco were extremely hospitable and very kind -- it was just a pleasure to meet them.

M. & L. Hearne - Cornell College, New York
We wanted to let you know that we had two wonderful stays in the apartments you set up for us in Rome and in Florence [La Giulia & Prisco]. We have stayed in several apartments in Italy and things can sometimes be tenuous. We did not have any difficulties with your apartments and the arrangements went like clockwork. Thank you for all of your assistance and the professional manner in which everything has been handled. Again, thank you for everything and we greatly appreciate all you did to make our trip a success.
