The accommodations were excellent. The location could not have been better, especially if you like to cook which I suggest if you are there for a longer period of time. There was everything you could want, including a clothes washer and an iron.

We highly recommend renting this apartment to anyone interested. The apartment is better for real than the beautiful pics and is a mere five steps from the famous Ponte Vecchio Bridge. The landlord is gracious and ready to help in any way.

We enjoyed the apartment very much. Having the terrace and electric awning made us feel like we had our own little cafe to adjourn to at the end of each day and we ate all of our meals there. Guiliano, the owner and greeter, was extremely nice and helpful. We liked the location, which was busy but not too hectic and right across from the river.

It was great being able to look out every morning at the 16th century tower north of the terrace. Restoration work was being done on the tower south of us, however; it was a bit noisy but not bothersome.

Being in the Oltrarno was great; once we got away from the tourist hub near the foot of the Ponte Vecchio (which was kind of fun, anyway) there were lots of small streets with craft shops of all kinds. My wife really liked "The Beaded Lily," which sold hand-made glass beads and designed jewelry on the spot.

Our most enjoyable night out was an evening at Teatro del Sale, a "social club" owned by Fabio Picchi. The food was great and after dinner everyone sat back to listen to a jazz trio play. It was definitely worth becoming a member for a day!

We thought your service was excellent and plan to use the agency again on our next trip to Italy. We had a wonderful time!

There were three of us at the Bardi apartment, my sister and brother-in-law and I. Our first impression of the place was very pleasant, and from there, we kept discovering its charms: the location in the heart of the Oltrarno district, near the Ponte Vecchio, shops and attractions; the lovely apartment itself, with flowers, pretty fabrics, nice art prints and photographs on the walls, small things to look at everywhere, reflecting the beauty of the city.

We had good kitchen space for cooking, with all the appliances we could want. It was fun to look out the floor-to-ceiling windows and see the tourists way down below, to eat meals or just relax on the pretty terrace, to go out for gelato across the street, or an evening stroll along the Arno. Artisan shops in the neighborhood were lovely. Air conditioning was very good.

I slept in the living room and could have had a cot rolled in but instead chose the stretch out on the long, comfortable couch. The bathroom was big and very attractive. The owner couldn't have been more gracious; on the first night, I was stranded in Dublin and didn't have the apartment phone number, so I called Guiliano, and he contacted my family for me and let them know my situation. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We thoroughly enjoyed the Bardi apartment during our stay. The balcony was awesome! This apt. is in such a great, safe location within walking distance to everything and only 10 minutes walk to the train. Take a cab from the train though if you have luggage, it's reasonable. Guilliano, the greeter, gave us the name of his favorite local restaurant called Osteria Del Cinghiale Bianco which we enjoyed for two dinners! We bought from the little market about 2 doors from the apt. every day. We also really enjoyed the wine tour we purchased at the tourist info window at the train station...Fattoria Castello Il Palagio has a most charming old castle tour and four wines to taste with food afterward. We also took a day trip to Venice on the train (1 1/2 hrs.) and a tour to Pisa on a bus. The views from the Ponte Vecchio (literally out the apt. door) are so beautiful and a charming singer plays his guitar every night. Watch out for the beggars and the rose sellers! We would stay at the Bardi Apt. again when we return to Florence some day. Pat Byrne was so helpful with instructions on how to ask in Italian for certain things. She was wonderful to deal with and I would go through her again for renting!

We recently spent 5 nights at Bardi and loved it. Staying at the apartment was a treat. It's beautifully done and has everything you need.The owner was very helpful, had chocolates, flowers for us on arrival. The location is in a safe neighbourhood, near all the sights and restaurants. Loved sitting on the terrace in the mornings and evenings. Would like to stay here again on a future visit to Florence. Highly recommended! Italy Perfect's service was very friendly and professional, would definitely use them again.

Our Trip was amazing. Florence was by far our best city. We will be coming back next year. The location was great. We got the overall feel for the city and everything was in walking distance. Thanks so much.

We had a lovely time in the apartment on the Via Berdi. It was everything you promised: comfortable, centrally-located, and not a stick of Ikea furniture in sight! The double glazing insulates marvelously from the street noise. The person upstairs started moving furnithre about, in addition to playing the television extraordinarily loudly. [An insulating, dropped ceiling installed 2009 eliminates the noise from upstairs.]

There will be a next time, we really did love the apartment, and would recommend it to anyone!

The Bardi apartment was perfect for us. We loved the location and convenience of everything. The living room is cozy and comfortable. Bed just fine. And we enjoyed some time on the terrace; the weather was mild, so lunch al fresco and some guide book research was the perfect activity there on an October afternoon.
