"We stayed for a week in the Memoria apartment in late March. There was plenty of room for 2 couples to not get in each other's way, and lots of room for lounging and enjoying the view of the bridge and the Arno. The apartment is really lovely and well equipped, and the location (literally 2 steps from the Ponte Vecchio) cannot be improved upon. We would cheerfully recommend this place to anyone. My only caveat--shampoo and soap are not provided, so either bring some or prepare for a market run once you get there (the market is not even 5 minutes away on foot, just across the bridge). [Thank you for your review! We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"The Prisco was as beautiful as it looks in the photos. The location is extremely convenient and within a short walking distance to everything. Our hosts were very gracious and spent time making sure we knew how to manage everything in the apartment. They gave excellent recommendations for dining, provided maps and directions. An American coffee maker, blow dryer and other small touches made it simple and convenient for us. If we are ever fortunate enough to be in Florence again, we would choose to stay here.[We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to working with you again!

"We have returned again and again to this very special destination, near the small town of Bucine. We had never stayed here in June and really enjoyed this time of year and the use of the wonderful pool and the surrounding gardens. Our accommodations were perfect, clean, orderly and very quiet and private as always. The staff is friendly and helpful. The location is perfect, an easy drive to Florence, Arezzo, Siena, the Chianti Mountains and Montelchino, etc. The small town of Bucine has a small but very good farmers market every Wednesday, they also have an excellent butcher who sends you home with some of his own homemade sausage as a little gift. The fruit/vegetable market next to him is also very good, and they are very friendly. There is an excellent laundry service right next to the COOP as you first enter the town, they wash, fold and iron your clothes, it is a wonderful service. We do not go to restaurants, but prefer to stay in and cook. We would definitely recommend to couples, families with small children, anyone, this very magical place."

"We stayed in this wonderful apartment for five nights in January, 2019. Highly recommend. Photos on the website accurately reflect the apartment. Large, spacious. Very well equipped kitchen. Our host met us at the apartment upon arrival and he is wonderful. Very gracious and took time to explain everything about the apartment. Great internet access, as well. The location is perfect, very central, cannot say enough about it. We walked everywhere. The Central Market is about 10 minutes walk. An outstanding bakery is about 4 doors away and it is AMAZING. Many restaurants nearby. Grocery stores nearby. An amazing small homemade pasta shop about 3 blocks away. The kitchen in the apartment allows for wonderful meals to 'eat in'. Museums are no more than a 15 minute walk. Stay here, don't give it a second thought...........you will be happy you did (we were!!) Italy Perfect responded very quickly to any questions we had. They were a pleasure; no issues in any way. [Thank you for your great review! We are thrilled that you had an amazing time while staying in the Prisco apartment! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"We stayed in the Pasquino apartment for the Christmas and New Year's break. The apartment was a perfect size for our family of three (married couple and our 17 year old daughter). It was very comfortable with updated bathrooms and a modern, nicely equipped kitchen. We fixed breakfast everyday and cooked some really nice dinners in the kitchen. We like the layout of the apartment as it separated the living area from the sleeping areas very effectively. The location is unbeatable with all of the major sites within walking distance. Piazza Navona is probably about 100 yards from the doorstep. Via del Governo Vecchio, right below the apartment, is a very atmospheric street that has some nice restaurants and shops along it, including a pretty good grocery store with an embedded fish market. Working with Pat at Italy Perfect was great. She was very knowledgeable, responsive, and the convenience of pre-paying in U.S. dollars was a nice perk. We used one of her recommended car services for airport transfers and the drivers were prompt and had vehicles with plenty of room for the three of us and our large checked bags. We also used a recommended guide, Carolina Vincenti, for a private tour of the Vatican Museums. Carolina was a lovely lady and an absolute wealth of knowledge. It was a splurge that was worth every Euro. Last but not least, we had a delicious Christmas dinner at Casa Bleve and enjoyed the pizzas at Emma so much we went twice. In the end, staying in the Pasquino apartment really helped to make our Rome trip memorable. [Thank you so much for your great review! We are delighted to hear that you had a wonderful Christmas, and a memorable time in Rome. The Italy Perfect Team.]"

"Great location. Quite and roomy. Owners helpful. Surprised by having to pay extra for heating (apparently we exceeded the daily limit ). [So pleased you enjoyed the quietness and roominess and helpful owners. Sorry you overlooked the info provided about the €6/day utility allowance to cover baseline usage. It is normal to exceed that by a little bit in January when it is cold to cover the full cost of heat. The Italy Perfect Team]"

"What a wonderful, peaceful place to stay.The views in the morning were spectacular ! Francesco met us at the house at the exact time arranged and gave us several recommendations throughout our stay. When we arrived, the accommodation was spotless! The house is located in a perfect area of Tuscany so you can make day visits to Florence and nearby towns. Certainly a car is a must.I would highly recommend this property for those that are adventurous and willing to explore. [Thank you for your kind review. We are thrilled that you liked your stay at Casa San Vito. The Italy Perfect Team]"

"Thank you to the entire Italy Perfect and Divine Dante team! We had a great family vacation and your team helped in every way that we asked. The staff at Divine Dante was outstanding and they helped to arrange two wonderful dinners in the house. The house was plenty big for 10 of us. The location of the home was about a 10 minute walk to the closest bus station and a short taxi ride to the center of Firenze. We would 100% choose to work with Italy Perfect and we hope to go back to Divine Dante again in the future! And a final thank you to the Divine Dante team for their recommendations on tour companies, chefs, and restaurants. We had great experiences with every one of them! [We are glad we could help in making your experience amazing. We look forward to working with you again! The Italy Perfect Team.]"

"This is our second apartment rental with your company. Our apartment in Venice was beautiful, comfortable and the accommodations were in line with a 4 star hotel. Location was centrally located for easy access getting around. The freshly baked croissants and apartment service was greatly appreciated and made a difference. Our tour guide was beyond outstanding and helped us navigate the local restaurants that can be a little tricky, tourist vs local establishments. Yes I have and will continue to recommend your company to family and friends.[Thank you so much for your kind review, we are happy that you enjoyed your stay at Menta and look forward to welcoming you again!

"Our accommodations were in an excellent location, within an easy walk of the train station, Duomo, Santa Croce and all major museums. Even though it was in a busy, vibrant part of town, the apartment was quiet and private. This was our second time using Italy Perfect for Florence. We would definitely recommend it to our friends. [Thank you for your great review, and for using Italy Perfect again. We are delighted to hear that you had an excellent stay at Michaela while in Florence. The Italy Perfect Team.]"

"2 families stayed for 4 days at New Year. It was very spacious, in a quiet location and perfect location to go and walk over the river into the more touristy areas, as well as next to the Vatican. The contact for the apartment was very helpful, made bookings for us in advance, very quick to respond with a query and excellent English. [Thank you so much for your kind review. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay and our service. Please remember Perfect Experiences for your next trip. The Italy Perfect Team}"

"We loved our stay in this beautiful apartment! It was very clean and in a great Location We walked everywhere, even to the Colosseum . We had nine people total and we had plenty of room. The kitchen was well equipped-we cooked Christmas dinner and sat all together in the dining room. There was a washer and separate dryer-not a common thing in Italy. Barbara greeted us and was available to help anytime. I will definitely stay here next time and check out the other properties from Italy Perfect.[Thank you Michelle, we are delighted you enjoyed your stay! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"We stayed at Minerva's Treasure Apartment. The location is ideal. Easy to walk to the Spanish Steps and surrounding area. The CASA restaurant just a few steps away from the apartment is delightful - simple surroundings but delicious food. The apartment was spacious but it lacked some of the features I have seen in Paris Perfect apartments. The linens and towels were very poor quality and there were no extras. The greeter was helpful but all the information was a bit overwhelming given the jet lag. The driver Rocco was reliable and pleasant. I would recommend this apartment and the Italy Perfect team. Great trip. Thank you. [Thank you Martha, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay and will look into replacing the towels. The Italy Perfect Team]"

"Thinking about booking this apartment? Do it now! Alcove apartment is a very spacious home located overlooking Piazza Santa Croce. The apartment is very accommodating for 6 - 8 guests. Every space is comfortable. The beds are very comfortable and the bed linens and pillows are plush. The bedrooms and bathrooms are all amazing, so no one will feel slighted. The one bedroom cannot convert the twin beds to one bed, but the room is still very spacious and the bathroom has a great shower. All of the bedrooms are on the quiet side of the apartment, even though we didn't find the crowds on the Piazza to be noisy at all. The kitchen is very well stocked. The laundry room with separate washer and dryer is a real plus. The location is a good one if you enjoy this side of the river; an easy walk to the train station and all of the Florence attractions. Check in/out was very easy and the utilities were reasonable for our 21 night stay. Some recommendations in/around the Santa Croce area: Boccadama is located on the lower level of the palace and serves very good lasagna and pear ravioli; a great place to crash for dinner at the end of a long day. There is also a Conad (small grocery store chain Corso dei Tintori, 10/R, 50122 Firenze FI, Italy ) around the corner (behind the building) that is not mentioned in the information book; perhaps it's newer. It's a City version, but still good in a pinch. Foody Farm (next to Conad) was really good for a non-Italian meal; the menu was really interesting and the food was delicious (casual night out). The Gallery (2 minute walk) has a great apertivo that starts at 6:30PM. For $10-$12 you get a cocktail and a very good buffet with hot and cold food items. Inferno (Via de' Pepi 9R – Firenze) was excellent and filled with locals. We tried a little of everything. The entrees and salads are not necessarily prepared in a traditional way, but amazing. This is the place to get Seafood. I would recommend Inferno for a nice night out. OK, let's talk gelato. I am by no means an expert, but I have been in Florence nearly a dozen times and I would say, hands down, Dei Neri is the best gelato in Florence (Neri, 9, 50122 Firenze FI, Italy). Good news - it's a really quick walk from the apartment! They have a great yogurt gelato and their ricotta cream with pistachio topping is my favorite! Lisa Byrne is still the best in the business and you will not be disappointed with her service, prices, and accommodations! [Thank you so much for your lovely review and recommendations, we are delighted you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you again! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"The apartment was spacious, very comfortable and perfectly located. Although we could hear street noise in the the living room kitchen area at night, the bedroom was silent, thanks to excellent insulated windows. And the couple who greeted us were so kind and considerate. A really lovely stay.[Thank you Robert and Roberta, we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us at the Prisco!

"The property has a beautiful view of the wine country. Nice outside patio for eating ( we couldn't use because it rained almost every day we were there. The greeter was very responsive and helpful. The biggest negative is the property is 20 minutes on one lane roads away from the nearest town to get a coffee in the morning. Still an enjoyable stay as a base to visit Siena and some nice wineries in the area."

"The apartment was better than the photos; they were just an enticement, but then we were there -- very comfortable with all things provided and looking at the domes of San Marco from our balcony! The instructions from Italy Perfect were very helpful and the list of recommendations made us feel very welcome. Our stay was even more special and "perfect" thanks to Paola, our greeter. She was very gracious and caring, careful to explain everything about the apartment, and she kindly offered to be available at any time. We arrived in the evening and she had taken the trouble to get things for our breakfast. She showed us the nearest supermarket and helped us get oriented (so as not to get too lost)! And she gave us many tips that only those who live in Venice can give. On our second day, Venice had its worst flood in 40 years, and we would not have felt safe without Paola's help. There was also bad flooding the day we left, and she insisted on guiding us through wind and rain to the San Marco water bus stop.Of course, we had lovely days as well. Venice is beautiful beyond belief. We would love to return and stay in Serenata again. We will gladly recommend Italy Perfect to friends and family. Thank you![Thank you Alison and Bob, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"A little quirky but a lovely accommodation. The kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms etc were just fine. Walking distance to many nice places to eat. Note that this area is basically a series of cliffs or plateaus if you will, so in spite of what the map appears to show, you can't walk a block to the beach as you might in many seaside communities. (we knew this, but don't be surprised). The hosts (who we met briefly) were very nice. Their secretary, who manages guests, was a lovely person who provided a lot of helpful area information. If you arrive in a car, the driveway entrance is very (very!) tight. We had rented a Volvo V60 wagon and it would just fit. The street is narrow and busy, so it's a challenge to get into the driveway as you have to move back and forth several times in order to line up to get into the driveway. Once you arrive, it's a short walk to the train station. However you'll need to use a car for any extensive grocery shopping as it's not really walking distance if you plan to carry anything heavy. The local Conad is a short drive and has a parking lot - which is important as street parking in town is very difficult and you'd need to go to a paid lot. Minor nits: no outside lights are on at night so when arriving in foot (like after dinner) we had to use our phones' flashlights to see where we were going. The foliage on the footpaths to the apartment are very overgrown and it's like pushing your way thru the jungle in certain sections. There's no dryer. To air dry clothes you'd need to carry them up a narrow spiral staircase to the roof deck which is above the second floor. We used a local lavanderia which I'd recommend driving to and parking in the paid lot across the street for a euro or two. Be aware that getting laundry done that way on weekends is generally impossible. All in all though it's quirky but very nice. We'd rent it again. Our issues with the place are quite minor. [Thank you for your repeat business. We are pleased you enjoyed the wonderfully private Luna villa, and the walkability to many nice restaurants and the welcome hosts and their helpful secretary. It is accurate that there is no clothes dryer, as stated in the Luna description on the website, clothes dryers are still relatively uncommon in Italy. The Italy Perfect Team]"
