The trip was fabulous, and we had a wonderful break. The Dorotea apartment was great, very clean and welcoming and the terrace was a huge bonus. The apartment was spotless.

Intrigued by the photo of the terrace, we booked eight nights at the Dorotea apartment in Trastevere. It was exactly where we wanted to be- at the foot of the Gianicolo hill, moments from the Botanical Garden and the Farnesina, 7 minutes walk over the foot bridge to Campo dei Fiori and Piazza Navona. The three of us were delighted with the accomodations- well designed and appointed. The terrace was a big plus for outdoor dining and entertaining. There was a specialty produce store next to the bar downstairs (not bothersome except for one Saturday night), across the river was a small supermarket, and down the street a good bakery- which made cooking in the compact kitchen convenient and fun. We recommend the apartment highly, ideal for two, but worked well for the three of us. We loved your bright little hideaway.

We loved your cozy little apartment! The location couldn't have been better, and it was a great place to come back to and rest our weary feet! Thanks for everything, all the best.

This place was adorable. It was the perfect starting point for all our adventures in Rome.

The apartment and location were perfect for us. We hope to return and stay at the Dorotea apartment again! It looked just like the photos and the neighborhood was wonderful.

We really enjoyed staying in the apartment. It was a great size for two people and the terrace space was a great added bonus. The apartment is really in a perfect location since it is walking distance from most of the major destinations in Rome. Plus the neighborhood was truly adorable. Our greeter was very friendly and nice and the welcome basket, maps and guidebooks were a great additional touch. I've already recommended ItalyPerfect to several friends.

I'm really glad we heard about ItalyPerfect. I really enjoyed having an apartment rather than a hotel room for our stay in Roma. It was a wonderful trip and a pleasant stay. I thought the location of Dorotea was great. I loved being in the Trastevere and all the little shops, restaurants and more that are over there. It had much less of a touristy feel that being near the Spanish Steps or Pantheon would have been. It gave us a better sense of actually living in a Rome neighborhood. The apartment was also a nice size, bigger than a hotel room would have been and the extra of having the kitchen and terrace to boot. Gabriella was a gracious hostess. She took the time to walk us thru the mechanics of living in the apartment, showed us how to operate everything. She has even left a basket of welcoming goodies for us that helped ease us into the swing of things. Having the [loaner] Italian cell phone was a Godsend for being able to get hold of our son in Rome without exorbitant charges every time we called him. A plus of the apartment was that it was next to the good cafe where we could hang out and have coffee in the AM, a glass of wine in the PM, and check our email on the Internet. We got some noise in the late evening (up to 2am some nights) along with street noise when there were people standing outside and drinking. This was not a big deal as that's what comes along with being in that neighborhood and Gabriella had installed double pane glass. Overall, I'm glad we picked Dorotea. We would certainly use ItalyPerfect again and would recommend it to our friends.
