"This apartment was one of the best we’ve experienced in our travels. Clean, comfortable, beautifully appointed, in an ideal location. The spacious bedroom was perfectly soundproof (and even light proof). (That wouldn’t be the case with the living room—something to keep in mind if sensitive sleepers are sharing the apartment.) We appreciated the warmth and attention to detail of our charming hosts. Enjoyed wonderful meals throughout our six-day stay; Trattoria Camillo was a highlight, dined there twice. We’d recommend this apartment and Italy Perfect without hesitation. [Thank you Sandra, we are happy you enjoyed staying at the Prisco! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"I just returned from spending a month at MINERVA’S TREASURE in Rome, Italy. Every step of the way working with Italy Perfect was indeed PERFECT. The moment I arrived I was met by the most amazing greeter Daniela who walked me through everything I needed to know about the unit and the area. She was patient and took her time answering any questions I had. The apartment was spotless and beautifully decorated. The bed/mattress was extremely comfortable. The restaurants Daniela recommended were all superb. Casa Restaurant was steps away and so so delicious but just a few blocks away were other amazing eateries and shops. The kitchen was well stocked with all the pots, pans and utensils that I needed to prepare some delicious meals for myself during my stay. The location was perfect in every way. I walked everywhere. What a plus having a washer/dryer in the apartment. Rare in Italy.The Wifi was excellent so I was able to respond to work daily. I highly recommend using Italy Perfect as your vacation rental experts. I also have used Paris Perfect in the past. Two well run companies. [Thank you Carol, we are delighted you enjoyed your stay!

"Our 1st visit to Tuscany was a dream and a must return to Borgo Tiglio! This amazing stone farmhouse was a true experience of Tuscan life with gorgeous grounds and views. Our 2 bedroom apartment was spacious and comfortable, well equipped with everything needed when we arrived and for our 3 night stay.....we only wish we had friends with us to enjoy this experience and wished we could have stayed longer. Lorena was most helpful and gracious helping us with directions to wine tasting, beautiful hilltop village exploring, wonderful restaurants and assistance when we most needed help-car trouble!! When in a foreign country for the 1st time, it is reassuring to know that a local is there for you, thank you Lorena! The location of Borgo is convenient to visit the walled hilltop villages, all within 20-60 minutes. Restaurants are 5-10 minutes close by. We enjoyed a true Tuscan homemade dinner, provided by our hosts and felt very welcomed and well taken care of. The vast grounds of Borgo are so relaxing, so beautiful and we look forward in spending a longer stay there next visit. Our visit was beyond our expectations, thank you! [Thank you Laura and Mark, we are happy you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you again! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"Our stay for the 1st time in Florence was fabulous! From the prompt greeting by Franco & Micky, who provided excellent instructions and helpful suggestions of where, how and when to visit city attractions, restaurants and tours....to the fun location of this spacious true Italian apartment, we truly enjoyed every minute in Florence. Florence is a walking city with beautiful shopping, museums and don't miss the best attraction, the Piazzale Michelangelo of Florence-spectacular plaza high up on the hill showing off all of Florence! We also took a day tour to Cinque Terra, which we highly recommend....Franco & Micky have information for the tour. Prisco Apartment was perfect for our visit as centrally located to wonderful restaurants, shopping, museums, and walkable to the train station. The apartment is large and spacious with beautiful authentic decor. Micky arranged our cab transportation to the airport when we departed and made sure our stay was comfortable. We look forward in returning and staying in Prisco, our home away from home! [Thank you Laura and Mark, we are delighted you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you again!

"Casetta Bonsi was a wonderful place to stay during our visit to Florence. It is immensely charming, perfectly laid out and accommodating, and hosted by the friendly and VERY helpful Maurizio and his wife Gabriella. The location, a few steps on the quieter side of Ponte Vecchio, is far enough off the beaten tourist area to feel like living in a Florence neighborhood, but close enough to make it easy to walk to the riches of the city. (The one caveat: It is a short but steep walk up a hill--it is not a place to stay for someone who would find that too much of a challenge. But for us healthy 70-somethings, it was fine.) Here are a few suggestions for things that might be less than obvious in a city jammed with great riches:- Bardini Gardens, further up the hill, is gorgeous and has stunning views of the city.- Two superb restaurants not so well-known: Fishing Lab and Trattorio Sergio Gozzi.- The frescoes by Fra Angelica in the monks' cells on the first floor of San Marco.- The bar food at the back of the bar of the Golden View, just down the street from the Casetta. For €8 you get a flight of three wines and three small bites of delicious appetizer; for another €7-€9 you can choose among tasty small plates. A great place for a very light dinner or pre-dinner outing, with a wonderful view just on the south bank of the Arno. (Note: this is not the Golden View's restaurant, which we did not visit.) Overall: We can't imagine a better place to stay in Florence. We hope to return to this great city some day and would be very disappointed if we couldn't stay at the Casetta.

"The apartment was spectacular! Plenty of room for our three generations. We also enjoyed the nice residential area, with its shops and restaurants. it was not necessary to travel back to the city center {so crowded with tourists} to dine out. Your recommended guide was lovely and very knowledgeable, and showed great patience with the teenage girls. Stefano's driver was wonderful also. It was a great trip! Thanks for all your info."

"Excellent experience from start to finish. Professional team that helped us prepare for our trip, and coordinated on site person to meet us at the apartment for check-in. Apartment was clean and well-furnished and in a very convenient location for easy arrival and departure as well as great home base for exploring Venice. Walk to everything very easily St Marks square, grocery, water taxi and bus all are within easy walking distance. [Thank you so much, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"My husband and I and our two teenage children enjoyed five nights at Pasquino at the end of our two week holiday in Italy. The apartment is in an excellent location and we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go whilst in Rome. We loved being in the buzz of this neighbourhood and able to walk downstairs to have a coffee, glass of wine or a meal. Whilst the area has a lot of tourists, it did not feel like we were in a touristy area, which was great. We had a lot of great food in the local area and did a fantastic walking food tour via Eating Europe. The apartment itself is very well equipped and being in an old building, has lots of old school Italian charm, which we loved. Staying here felt like a more genuine Roman experience than being in a hotel. My only note about this apartment is that the showers are a bit temperamental. Being in such an old building the hot water took a long time to arrive and it took us quite some time to figure out how to get the temperature right in the showers. It would have been helpful to have some advice on this from our greeter. Overall I would highly recommend a stay here. We would definitely stay again.[Thank you so much for your review, we are pleased you enjoyed staying at the Pasquino and found the location to be excellent. We will remind the greeter to explain how to set the temperature for the shower. The Italy Perfect Team]"

"We have stayed at the Strozzi several times over the years. Its location is convenient for visiting and exploring all of Florence. There is now even a grocery store at the end of the block, in addition to the bakery a few doors down. The apartment is well kept, always clean and very comfortable. Mikki and Franco are fantastic hosts and were very helpful in making our stay a pleasant one. We don't hesitate to recommend this property. Renting an apartment through Italy Perfect was very easy and very organized.

"How do you have a special visit to Florence? Start by renting a wonderful villa! Centrally located, the Michaela was 8 minutes or less to everything we wanted to see. The apartment was spacious and offered us the opportunity to relax midday or one in our party could sleep in due to the separate living room, kitchen and two baths! The proximity to the bakery, market and neighborhood type restaurants made for an enjoyable stay. Our day trip to Siena was easy as the bus station was so close. When we departed for Rome, the train was a short distance too! Thanks, too, to our wonderful hosts for opening their family home to travelers! [Thank you Julie, we are happy you enjoyed staying at the Michaela and hope to welcome you again! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"We had a wonderful week at Riposo Verde. The property is not quite as elegant as it appears in the photos; it is actually a bit rustic. But, it is large, comfortable and situated on a quiet plot of land with a garden and fruit trees. We were there in early October and enjoyed fresh tomatoes, yummy Concord grapes and other goodies that we incorporated into meals. The nearest town, San Casciano dei Bagni is delightful but has just one of everything. That said, we did several day trips to Orvieto (a must) and Civita de Bagnoreggio. This was fine for us, as we intended to have a quiet and relaxing trip. The kitchen was wonderfully equipped and made cooking a breeze. One thing you must do here:hire Elenora to make you a fabulous meal (or two). She does everything - shop, cook, serve and clean for the cost of a restaurant meal at La Fontanella. What a treat after a long day of sightseeing! The owner is a wonderful host and did everything he could to make our stay enjoyable. Also, he is a talented professional photographer and took a family photo of us at the end of our week. Riposo Verde is a lovely Tuscan idyll - go and enjoy!! This is our fourth Italy Perfect vacation and we will use them again - properties are well chosen, vetted and Lisa is always ready to be of assistance!!"

"This apartment had wonderful light, was fully equipped, and was in a wonderful location. We enjoyed coffee on the little balcony and having two baths was a plus. Everything you would need is nearby: pharmacy, money exchange, markets, restaurants and bars. The only down side was that the shower did not work properly or else we were not able to get it to work properly. We did get an excellent orientation from Daniela. Italy Perfect was easy and helpful to deal with. I would rent this apartment again. [Thank you very much for your review and for enjoying the apartment and that great neighborhood. We’ll check the shower, for sure. The Italy Perfect Team]"

"My husband and I recently stayed in the Menta apartment for four nights and we are happy to report that it is an absolutely lovely apartment in every way. The location is terrific as it's very near Piazza San Marco and in a very quiet area. There is one, caveat, though. The Westin Hotel is currently doing major construction and the noise and vibration can be heard in the apartment during the day.Fortunately, the workers leave around 5 pm so it is quiet in the evening. The apartment is furnished beautiful and the bed is very comfortable. The apartment is beautifully maintained. The staff, including the secretary who will make dinner reservations, and the housekeeping staff were all extremely gracious and helpful. It is lovely having warm croissants delivered to the apartment daily. It is the only place we want to stay now when I'm in Venice. We highly recommend it at the risk of not being able to reserve it in the future because it is so popular. [Thank you Jan, we are happy you enjoyed staying at the Menta and are sorry for the construction noise during your stay. We look forward to welcoming you again! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"We stayed in an apartment on the top floor of the Palazzo Antellesi on the Piazza Santa Croce in Florence. The apartment (Miravista) was extremely comfortable and spacious and had a wonderful outside terrace overlooking the piazza and Santa Croce church. This location is slightly off the beaten track, which made it even more desirable, but still easily walkable to all the sights of Florence. It was nicely fitted out with all the appliances you could want, and everything worked and appeared to be well maintained. Several nearby neighborhood restaurants that we would recommend are Osteria Dei Pazzi (Via Dei Lavatoi), Osteria de' Benci (Borgo Santa Croce), and both Cibreo and Trattoria Cibreo (Via Del Verrocchio).We would definitely recommend Italy Perfect to our friends (as we would Paris Perfect, which we first used in 2001). [Thank you Jane, we are happy you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you again! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"We just spent 4 nights at Borgo Ronda and wish we could have stayed longer! It is a beautiful property with lovely, well-maintained grounds offering breathtaking views, and cozy and inviting accommodations. There were 4 of us and we shared a charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath apartment with rooms that were spacious and clean. The kitchen was well-equipped, and there was a large wood-burning fireplace in the living room which added to the overall warmth and character of the place. It's a little off the beaten path - you do need a car to get to the nearby village for restaurants and supplies - but after a day of wine tasting or sightseeing and shopping, this place is a peaceful, relaxing retreat. Lorena, our greeter, was so gracious and helpful and extremely responsive to all our questions and requests.We loved it - the next time we plan a trip to Tuscany, we won't stay anywhere else![Thank you Mary Ann, we are delighted you enjoyed your stay!

"Very good Apartment, well furnished, very comfortable, excellent location. The Hosts were very good in communicating all information we needed the Restaurants suggested were very good. All in all we had a very good experience . Some suggestion: The Apt. could provide a few things like Coffee, Tea, some drinks, milk etc this would specially when people arrive late and are not able to go shopping. Would recommend to friends. [Thank you so much for your kind review. We will do a better job of offering a shopping service for late arrivals, too. Thank you for the suggestion. The Italy Perfect Team]"

"We had six enjoyable, comfortable nights in the Serenata apartment. Everything was as advertised or better. We greatly enjoyed the terrace/deck that gave us a wonderfully entertaining view of two busy canals below. The apartment is in a modern, clean building in a bustling neighborhood. There is easy access to a grocery store and many cafes and restaurants. Despite its location near Piazza San Marco, the apartment is very quiet. We heard no noise once we closed the windows and the door to the deck. We were greeted by Paola. She was most hospitable and welcoming and gave us a thorough tour through the apartment, explaining everything in detail. She then took us on a walk to the supermarket and pointed out shops and restaurants. We had called her the day before we arrived and she gave us clear and explicit instructions as to where to meet her. She was prompt and did not keep us waiting. We couldn't have had a more worry-free arrival and departure. There was no uncertainty; Paola was right there when she said she'd be. Part of staying in Venice is the experience of wandering the streets and alleys and getting lost. That was mostly a pleasant experience, but we learned not to trust Google Maps to get us to our destination. It's a good idea to have a paper map to compare with what's on your phone. We would wholeheartedly recommend this apartment, and we are grateful to Paola for her gracious welcome and her thorough explanations of the apartment and the neighborhood. [Thank you so much Bill and Linda, we are happy you enjoyed your stay! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"This property was immensely comfortable and very tastefully furnished with room to spare for four adults. A major bonus was the constant supply of bottled water (both still and sparkling) which is invaluable plus the most amazing homemade croissants that were delivered warm each morning at precisely eight am. The local contact person also saved us from a potentially disastrous outing to one of the islands with her advice that on the weekend we might wait hours trying to catch a vaporetto back. The location is superb and I highly recommend wandering other neighborhoods such as Cannareggio to get a true Venetian experience. We have now worked with the Perfect family in three different countries and I would recommend them without reservations. They are a professional, prompt and quality oriented operation with a keen sense of customer service.[Thank you so much Greg, we are delighted you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you again!
