This flat is located in a very lively, albeit a bit noisy in the evenings, location near many attractions and great dining. The 6th floor elevation gets you above the action for a sense of peace, especially while relaxing on the fantastic terrace. The host is an excellent contact for check-in and recommended favorites for dinners.

My wife and I have stayed in many Italy Perfect apartments and we agree that Cortigiana was the best of the best. The spacious and clean accommodation felt like home. The layout is perfect with a large living room and kitchen/dining area. The bathroom and bedroom were spacious. Perhaps the best feature is the location--close to Piazza Navonna, the Pantheon, shopping, restaurants, the Vatican, and others. Great place, great location.

Our clan gathered in Rome and was very pleased to stay in this fascinating apartment. It has everything even a pool table! Beautiful and interesting art and architecture everywhere. The a/c and appliances worked. Hosts very helpful. AND the location in Rome is amazing, central with so many interesting aspects. We will never forget.

The owners gave us a warm greeting to this spacious and clean apartment within easy walking distance of the train station and important sites, including the Duomo, the Bargello, the Uffizi, the Academia, the Ponte Vecchio, and the Pitti Palace and high-quality restaurants and shopping. When we return to Florence we will choose to stay in Michaela again.

We loved the Memoria apartment! There were 4 of us, and the location was perfect. Walking distance to everything! Our host was great, and made herself available for any questions, and included a tour of local artisans. We would definitely stay there again.

We have been to Florence over 10 times and this is by far the best apartment we've stayed in. What views, what a terrace! The location was great and the info from the Italy Perfect people was spot-on, especially their restaurant recommendations. Enjoyed dining at Mangiafuoco restaurant which is closeby. Also got good takeaway pizza at the little pizza place downstairs, just down the block.

We had a fantastic time during our month-long stay in Elegante. We, and our guests, enjoyed everything about it. The apartment quality is high and it is totally equipped. The manager is great; always available when we needed her and ready with answers.

The Italy Perfect team was exceptional to work with. We loved our stay at the Carina apartment. Location is so convenient and the apartment was clean and comfy. We really loved the terrace w- it was fantastic during the unseasonably mild fall weather. Enjoyed sitting out there with a glass of wine in the early evening - such a retreat. Thanks for the good shopping and restaurant info too, very helpful.

This review is for the neighboring Vista Galli villa: We were absolutely "over the moon" with our gorgeous villa, the beautiful grounds and gardens, and the amazing staff! And, well, then there are the incredible Galli Islands right in front of you... The villa is impeccably maintained by the attentive, friendly staff, and they worked hard to be sure all our requests were met. The location of the villa is ideal - walking distance to a few local restaurants and a delightful cooking school (Antico Casale), a short drive to Sorrento, and also close to Positano. There is a terrific car service/tour service (PrivateDayTours.com) which we used extensively. The service is actually located in Piano di Sorrento. Our 4 weeks at Vista Galli flew by - it was a perfect vacation in every way.

We could not be more thrilled with our villa and its staff!!! The staff met us on Saturday at the villa and showed us around, answered questions, and worked out our housekeeping schedule. The villa itself is gorgeous and well organized. The grounds are beautiful, and well, the view of the Galli Islands doesn’t get any better!
Gianluca has given us incredible service. Our trip to Paestum (and the Buffalo di mozzarella farm/factory) as well as our all day private boat trip to Capri have been perfection! Couldn’t be happier.
We are now off to Cooking School today with our pals. We will walk as it’s just down the road.
Ciao!

Staying at the Borgo Bersagliere was a dream come true after waiting for 2 years post Covid. We took a train to Chiusi Chianciano Terme and rented a car nearby. All the information and directions that Pat and the Italy Perfect team provided us was most helpful as we navigated the road to the estate. Going through the backdoor of a winding dirt road and seeing from afar the famous Val’D Orcia S-lined road with tall cypress trees stopped us at our tracks. We had to get out of the car and just admire the sweeping view. The manager welcomed us and greeted us in the arched entrance of the estate and showed us the apartment on the 2nd floor. Historically, the Borgo Bersagliere is one of the six apartments that used to house families of farmworkers who worked at the estate.
It is an idyllic and ideal place away from home. If you’re looking for a place of peace and tranquility, this is it. The country style apartment was huge and expansive, had high ceilings, a living room with fireplace, a country kitchen and dining area, a lovely bathroom and a spacious bedroom that overlooks olive trees and the expansive, sweeping landscaped garden with the Amiata mountain in the background. At night and in the early morning, there’s a cool breeze with sweet smelling fragrance of the flowers around the place. At Borgo Bersagliere we find sweet rest within, even in the most exhausting times of the pandemic world. Driving around it’s rolling landscape and enjoying every meandering road lined with Italy’s famous cypress trees took our breaths away. It did not matter which way we took because the picture perfect views all over were truly stunning! Truly amazing! We will come back for more…

Lovely, beautifully furnished, well equipped, comfortable apt. Location convenient to anything you would want. Our greeter, was wonderful. He always got back to us shortly with any problem we had. Italy Perfect were a pleasure to work with.

The Valentina apartment for our 2 couples exceeded all our expectations, in all aspects…from our original booking process, our greeting upon check-in with our hosts, it’s incredible location, and the size, layout, and tasteful furnishings of this magnificent well-maintained apartment. Considering Valentina’s location we were pleased with how quiet the bedrooms were. Grocery shopping, bakeries, wine stores, cafe’s were all within steps of Valentina, including of course the Spanish Steps and Via dei Condotti a block away. Most of Rome’s major attractions were within walking distance, with a gelato in hand. Now we have enjoyed great experiences with Paris Perfect in August and Italy Perfect in October. Looking forward already to another Vacation Perfect experience next year.

We stayed at the Strozzi apartment on Via Della Spada at the start of the heat wave in June. The apartment is located in the center of Florence just a block away from the fanciest strip of famous high fashion brands designer stores like Gucci and Ferragamo. Italy Perfect c/o Pat made our trip so seamless that everything that we wanted to know and how to get there were provided for in advanced. Our gracious hosts welcomed us warmly to the apartment and patiently showed us with all the good stuff we can find, eat, go and see in Florence. The place had everything we needed, 2 TVs with cable channels, a nifty kitchen, fridge, washing machine, a bathroom with a bidet, Wi-Fi, air conditioning and a queen size bed. It’s an elegant apartment with an old world charm equipped with a European lift style elevator with wrought iron main gate door and fancy wooden architecture casing. We loved strolling down the shaded street area in our neighborhood and the wonderful shops, foodie places, supermarket around the corner and walking distance to the Santa Maria Novella train station. The Strozzi apartment was the ideal holiday home away from home for our first time stay in Florence.

Casetta Bonsi is a gem that is ideally situated in the less touristy Oltrarno but yet it has quick access to the Ponte Vecchio to visit the attractions of the city center. The property is also located part way up the hill to higher sights in Oltrarno such as Fort Belvedere and the Bardini Gardens. It is also close to Cantina del Gelato with arguably the best artisanal gelato in Florence and an excellent supermarket. In sum, location in our opinion was fantastic for a visit to Florence. The entire experience with Italy Perfect and our greeter, was perfect as they provide very clear instructions on contact information, how to get there, and other details. The home has Florentine charm, private, and the kitchen is equipped with everything that you need to cook meals. If there are problems, they are quickly corrected. For example, the carafe on our coffee pot was cracked when we arrived and new coffee pot suddenly appeared while we were out sightseeing. There is ample storage for clothes and convenient places to store your suitcases. The wonderful patio is perfect for a breakfast or glass of wine. There are also wonderful sounds on the patio including many birds that inhabit the giant cedar off the deck and the church bells from the Chiesa dei Santi Girolemo e Francisco alla Costa that is just up the street. This small church, built in 1432, is sometimes open and worth visiting as it has an exquisite interior. While almost "perfect," please note that the mattress is on the harder side that may be an issue for some and that the property is located about 50 yards up a significant hill on the Costa dei Magnoli that could be an issue for those with mobility problems. On the plus side, the walk up the hill walks off the gelato calories. We would choose this property again if we returned to Florence.

The home was spotless and centrally located. The deck was great for listening to the music and horse drawn carriages while drinking wine, and we got to take a honeymoon bath with the full moon glowing out the window.

We were two couples and the apartment size could not have been more perfect with its spacious living area. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and the larger sized refrigerator was a welcome treat. We are walkers and truthfully the apartment could not have been in a better location. Steps to Via Corso and from there it is an easy walk to most of Rome’s sites. Good restaurants, shopping and food stores are mere steps from the apartment. We loved our week here, would most definitely return to this apartment. Special thanks to Sonia and Alessia for arranging our departing transportation.

Excellent apartment and location for a stay in Florence. Really enjoyed our stay because of how nice the apartment was and how easy it was to walk everywhere we wanted to go. Really nice to have our own space with a patio. It really is minutes' walk from most attractions and a bunch of great restaurants/neighborhoods. Would absolutely stay here again. The host was very communicative and showed up on time to let us in. They were also very informative about the apartment and the area.

My husband and I stayed in the Prisco apartment for 4 nights and it was the best experience. The apartment is even better than the pictures….and our hosts, what can we say about them except they were wonderful. Franco met us at the door and helped us get our very heavy luggage up in the elevator and Miki was waiting for us at the apartment. Such a warm feeling as they showed us through the apartment…one that she had grown up in and so many of her family’s antiques are still there. It is so close to everything, we walked to the Uffizi, the Accademia, Point Vecchio, Santa Croce and there were 2 great restaurants just a block away. Also, a fantastic pastry shop downstairs. Just wish we could have stayed longer. When you open the large doors to the street below you watch the town come alive. We will definitely stay there again if we get the chance to go back to Florence…. a beautiful city. Our hosts even called us a cab the morning we left to take us to our rental car agency. If you get the chance to go to Florence, rent this apartment, you will make wonderful memories just as we did!! Thank you for the memories!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Michaela. The apartment is comfortable, spotless, spacious, secure and is in an interesting building on an elegant, vibrant street. The location is perfect. The lovely owners gave us a warm welcome and were very kind and helpful. We are already making plans to return!
