Reviews and Customer Testimonials for Italy Vacation Rental

Our Review

• Excellent highly sought-after location, wonderful neighborhood

• Easy walk to Spanish Steps

• Street has some traffic but it is narrow and in the restricted traffic zone. Enjoy observing Romans going about their daily business.

• Bathroom is older, shower is functional and clean but has mildew stains that can't be removed.

Guest Book Testimonials
Roman Holiday Oct 2011

Our experence in Rome,the apartment, Bellina, was perfect,a beautiful light airy large room with all mods and cons, large bedroom and bathroom. The area was just wonderful, five minutes to the Spanish Steps,aprox fifteen minutes to the Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon, the most delightful area to walk and be amongst the locals.The local bus stop two mins from the apartment ( €1) for a ticket that could be used for three hours . The shopping was amazing: girls shoes, bags and clothing that took your breath away, the next trip we will arrive with empty suitcases with enough time to fill them. We also came to realize very quickly that we were in the best possible location, great restaurants,shops,every little side street took our breath , it was just so beautiful.

I would say to anyone wanting to experience Rome please try the beautiful Bellina Apartment, when leaving it in the morning take a deep breath and live every moment you wont regret it.

Thanks Lisa, without your help we would not have the amazing memories that we now have, we look forward to repeating the same next year.

Theresa , Australia

Bellina Jul 2011

The apt location was perfect for our needs. It is near restaurants and shops, but not in the midst of the tourist sites. We walked or took taxis to the Vatican, Forum, etc. and then we were able to relax in the Spanish Steps area in the evening.

There is a coffee shop on the block and a small grocery for necessities. We didn't try cooking meals at the apt., but it was well set up for breakfast and snacks.

Our hostess was very accommodating, meeting us later than expected due to lost luggage and providing an extra fan for the unit when requested.

Overall, for a couple or family of three (as we are) the apt. size is quite comfortable.

Restaurant recommendations: Edy's and Margutta (vegetarian) are within two blocks and excellent. Al 34 is closer to the Spanish Steps but one of the best restaurants we visited on this trip to Rome.

Catherine, Philadelphia

Rome Perfect! Jul 2011

This spotless, elegantly appointed and well-located apartment was a delight for our week in Rome. We had everything we needed at our fingertips, and it was a welcome retreat after touring each day.

We would definitely recommend this neighborhood for anyone visiting Rome. This apartment makes you feel at home in Rome!

Suzanne and David Townsend, Dallas, Texas

Wonderful apartment in Rome Jul 2011

Bellina offers a great location, high ceilings, comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen - everything needed for a great holiday in Rome. The location - steps from Plazzo Poppilo makes sightseeing easy - The operable windows bring in a breeze, but also the noise of the street life. We enjoyed it immensely, but there is a portable air conditioner for the faint of heart!)

The service was terrific. Great resturants and great recommendations for cafe's and groceries.,

Highly recommended.

Architect on Tour, Toronto

The apt was wonderful with comfortable beds, and is well furnished. Feb 2011

We were met by a wonderful women, who from the moment we arrived were taken by her welcoming warmth. She graciously helped us with our luggage and  took a great deal of care in making sure we were properly settled in. After discussing Rome and our touring interests she remarkably followed up the next day with an email containing clear directions and suggestions for visiting the Appian Way. The apt was wonderful with comfortable beds, and is well furnished. My only complaint is that as we had been travelling for over 3 weeks we were in the habit of washing our clothing regularly and there was a washing machine in the apt, which was wonderful. There was only a tiny broken clothes rack over the dryer which did not work as half the spokes were broken off.  I would recommend adding a proper folding drying rack. [Thank you for your feedback, we'll repair or replace the drying rack. Lisa, Italy Perfect]

Bella Bellina Oct 2010

The Bellina apartment was superb and its location was perfect for visitng all Rome's sites. We discovered a very nice restaurant, Osteria Maragutta, that is close to the apartment. Our driver, Stefano, was very informative and helpful.

Trudy & Frank, North Carolina

The apartment is lovely, well appointed and spotlessly clean. Oct 2010

We rented the Bellina apartment for ten days in September 2010. The apartment is lovely, well appointed and spotlessly clean. The location is absolutely perfect .. situated halfway between the Spanish Steps and Piazza del Popolo and the Via del Corso and Via Babuino. We walked everywhere - from the Vatican to the Villa Borghese and on the days when all that walking lost its appeal, we took advantage of the 117 and 119 buses which run frequently from Piazza del Popolo. You can log onto Rome’s ATAC site for connections to other parts of the city. There is also a metro station at Piazza del Popolo which is just a few minutes’ walk from the apartment. There is a small, well stocked alimentari almost next door and a great little supermarket just a few streets away. We would particularly like to recommend the Enoteca Buccone at 19 Via di Ripetta for a light lunch or that special bottle of wine. Cristina met us on arrival and explained all the features of the apartment to us. She even gave us a coffee making lesson for the Bialetti and assisted us to set up the WiFi on our computer. Cristina also kindly left her contact number in case we encountered any problems or needed any assistance during our stay. We took advantage of the airport transfer service recommended by Italy Perfect and it was wonderful to get off the plane after a long flight and know that we would not have to worry about finding a taxi. The owner of the apartment is a lovely lady and we very much enjoyed meeting her on the morning of our departure. Our experience at the Bellina was very enjoyable from beginning to end. Italy Perfect is “perfect” .. Lisa attended to all the arrangements with impressive efficiency and we can certainly recommend both the Bellina apartment and Italy Perfect to anyone planning a visit to Rome.

We had a fantastic time, enjoyed the location Jul 2010

Overall a wonderful experience and would rent again.  Really appreciated your informational materials.  We had a fantastic time, enjoyed the location, and with all that heat it was great to be able to wash clothes.We had a marvelous time in Rome.  Everything went smoothly. Overall a wonderful experience and would rent again.  Really appreciated your informational materials.  Just one criticism:  To enter OR exit that apartment, it is necessary to work strange old fashioned keys, first on a large heavy outer hallway door (like a vault!), then on the door of the apartment itself.  I don't mind dealing with that on the way in to the apartment, but boy, if there were ever a fire, and someone had to try to get out in a hurry, that would really be a problem. Other than that, everything was great.  We had a fantastic time, enjoyed the location, and with all that heat it was great to be able to wash clothes. [Multiple locks and keys are the norm in Italy, and in most major cities in Europe.

Perfect "When in Rome" Experience May 2010

This is the third time we've rented an apartment from Italy Perfect and its sister company, Paris Perfect and it certainly lived up to our expectations (with the one exception of not having as well-equipped kitchen as we would prefer, since we enjoy eating in and cooking a bit.) The location was perfect in the middle of a great retail area, the Piazza del Popolo and the Spanish Steps. Bellina is well-maintained and nicely furnished and we would happily stay there again (buy maybe I would bring my own sharp knives!) And the thing we liked most? the best expresso in Rome is just downstairs and it's only 50 Euro cents a cup! Now that's a bargain! Italy Perfect provides its clients with an excellent package of detailed information about what to expect in a vacation rental in Italy so we felt very comfortable from the moment we walked in the door. Cristina, our greeter, was extremely nice, explaining the apartment in great detail and how things work (a little different frequently than our US appliances), called Stefano, a driver she recommends, and set up departure to the airport, and left us her home phone number! That's great service. We feel that renting an apartment is absolutely the only way to really learn about another place because you do get to "go native" a bit, enjoy local neighborhoods and not rely on concierges and staff to do things for you. As long as Italy Perfect and its sister companies, Paris Perfect and London Perfect, have rentals where we are going, we will rely on them for wonderful local apartments and houses so that "when in (fill in the blank), we can do as the (you know what goes here!).

Lauren, New Mexico

Roman Holiday Mar 2010

Bellina is the perfect location for a couple to enjoy a week in Rome. The apartment is very well located and within walking distances of many fine restaurants and sights. When you are not in a walking mood, the Metro and Roma bus service is easy to use and located close by. Christina (the greeter) is friendly and genuinely wants your experience to be the best possible. The Wi-Fi in the apartment permitted us to access our e-mail on our I-Phone without having to pay the expensive roaming charges which would otherwise apply. Do not rent this apartment if you intend to do any real cooking; the kitchen is very small and would not permit any meaningful culinary experiences. Given the quality of the dining within the area, not being able to cook was certainly not a problem. While the apartment opens to the street below; noise was not an issue. We will return to Rome and would be delighted to make Bellina our home again.

Rick and Reba, Dallas, Texas

Exactly as advertised, well-equipped, quiet, great location Feb 2010

We had a great time. The apartment was exactly as advertised, well-equipped, quiet, great location. The airport transfers (we used your recommended person) were perfect. The "greeter", Christina, was efficient and helpful -- went out of her way to make sure we had our computer working before she left. Your study materials were genuinely helpful. We walked to a different restaurant each night and enjoyed them all.

G. W., Locust Valley, NY

Bellina Apartment Rome Nov 2009

We were met by Christina who was most helpful and patient showing us the features and operation of the apartment and its ameneties. There was fresh fruit and a bottle of wine; a nice touch. We were given directions to markets, shops, restaurants and food stores. The apartment is located ia a great area of Rome within walking distance of many Roman attractions. Give oneself time to explore the sites, sounds and action in the area- become part of the Roman life. For taxi and transportation we highly recommend hiring Stefano; he was on time, knowledgeable and professional. As in the site name "Italy Perfect", it was perfect.

P.S. It was easy and convenient to be able to phone Lisa and make arrangements over the telephone: thank you.

Barb Pratt and Bill Shostak, Edmonton Alberta Canada

Great Rome Location! Nov 2009

We loved the location of our apartment in Rome. Very near Piazza del Popolo and The Spanish Steps, we walked everywhere -- even walked to Vatican City. The apartment was small but cozy with modern conveniences in a great, old neighborhood. Christina, our greeter, was outstanding.

Lynette & David Crosby, Pinehurst North Carolina

Bellina Apartment, Rome. Jun 2009
My husband & I recently enjoyed a 6 night stay at the Bellina Apartment which has a very convenient & central location. We found it spacious for 2 people & thoughtfully set up. The internet access & use of a local mobile phone were very useful. 2 minor drawbacks were the very firm mattress & the lack of a full size ironing board when like us you are travelling for 3 weeks. Our favourite local resaurant was Palathium(from our Italy Perfect reccomendations)& we went there twice. The Italy Perfect service was very good & our greeter very helpful & pleasant.

Rosalind Brown, Adelaide, South Australia

Bellina Apartment in Rome Feb 2009
We rented the Bellina apartment on very short notice after another accomodation fell through. We especially appreciate Lisa's help: she not only knows the properties, but also the location. We stayed 8 nights over the new year and found the the apartment extremely comfortable: great sofas for reading, comfortable bed and good linens. The decor was far better than so many of the tacky, Rome apartments. Only two drawbacks of the apartment itself. First, the kitchen could have been better stocked: a better skillet and larger pot for pasta, a juice squeezer, etc. We like to cook and the butchers on the street, the green grocers, the fresh pasta from the charming shop on Via de Greci and a good enoteca on Via di Ripetta make this an ideal spot for easy, good and inexpensive meals. The location, while not my first choice, ended up to be quite nice. We liked the street, and being close to Piazza Popolo, especially to take it in early in the mornings or late at night. Just a 20 minute walk to Piazza Navona or Campo de' Fiori; great access to the metro. We didn't eat out a lot in this neighborhood, but did have a fun Sunday brunch at Babette's (the French/Italian restaurant) between Via Babuino and Margutta just one block from Popolo. A word of caution, V. del Corso and Babuino are packed with shoppers, and this can get tiresome, but there are plenty of small streets in this area that are fun to explore. (Or, consider being there in January: the sales--soldi--are spectacular.) We definitely plan on using Italy Perfect again, even if we choose another apartment, or--perhaps--for another city. Again, thank you, Lisa, for all your help.

Dodie and Joe L., Oakland, California

Jan 2009
I have no complaints. I liked the location. Noise was not a factor. Everything in the apartment operated correctly and I liked the lay out of the apartment which was fine for 2 or 3 people. Would recommend the apartment to anyone. The Greeter was also very nice and helpful. We walked all over the city from here.

peter casciato, san francisco

A fine and reasonably priced apartment Dec 2008
The Bellina worked for us very well; we were blessed with a favorable euro/dollar exchange rate and the apartment provided lots of good space, far more than a hotel room, for just under $ 250 U.S. per night for the two of us. The kitchen was efficient even if we used it very little; the bedroom was cozy with many pillows and blankets; the bathroom functioned well. We particularly liked the living room space with it's two couches and flat screen tv---a fine place to collapse after rigorous days of being tourists. The Italy Perfect staff were very helpful,pleasant and efficient. We shall be back!

Jane and John, New York City

Our Belli apartment was wonderful! Jul 2008

Our Bellina apartment was wonderful! My husband and I were so happy there. Jim would go out early am and bring me a coffee. Then he'd head out and get something simple for breakfast while I got dressed to start our day. A couple of days we brought dinner in. We did tons of walking and enjoying Rome (some times getting home around 7pm) Nothing better than getting in the shower, having some wine and enjoying a dinner in. We did our big eating at lunch time. Jim got to know a lot of the store keepers on our street! They were all great.

Thanks you for sending us so much information about Italy. We read it twice before we left and really benefited from it. Also a great big thank you for giving us Stefano's name for a driver. He picked us up at the airport and took us back to the airport. We were so happy with him. He's a great guy and very reliable. I have recommended our apartment to a lot of our friends. You all are a great find. Again, Thanks. I highly recommend the Bellina apartment!! A great location!!!

We had a very pleasant stay Apr 2008

We had a very pleasant stay in Rome at the Bellina apartment. Your company's services were excellent, I can't think of any improvements. We will certainly use your services again.

Ingimar Haukur Ingimarsson, Gardabaer Iceland

The apartment was wonderful Mar 2008

The apartment was wonderful, and your greeter is a great asset. We especially liked being able to eat in for lunch or dinner. The kitchen was very well equipped; all it needed was a toaster, but that was remedied by the delicious pastries available down the street in the little market. We highly recommend the apartment for its ambience and its location.

Jeanne Lynch, Haymarket, Virginia

A trip we will always remember. Jan 2008

Everything was fine and Paul and Marisa {greeters] attentive. We really enjoyed spending a blissful month in Roma with our daughter. A trip we will always remember.
