Luxurious twin sofas upholstered in a heavy white on white fabric are refreshing. So many such apartments lack seating.

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

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. |

| 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! |

| 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!!! |

| 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. |
