"Our apartment was very comfortable, quiet, clean, and well equipped. It was located in a historic palazzo turned into apartments on the Piazza Santa Croce. Our interests were in history, art, and architecture so the location was perfect. We were able to walk everywhere and even manage one of our party in a wheelchair. There is a "super" market a few blocks away for anything from staples to fine wine. We ate well everyday in a restaurant near our morning excursions, so all over the historic area. Food was great everywhere. Our travel companions are world-class consumers of gelato and give world-class honors to the small gelateria around the corner, facing the convent associated with Santa Croce. The folks at Italy Perfect were very helpful. And, yes, I would certainly seek them out again and recommend them to friends."

"Prisco is a very nice apartment with a spacious bedroom and a large living area where we relaxed and watched English-language TV newscasts in the evenings. Although situated on the 3rd floor (4th USA) of a nice old building, the quiet elevator eliminated any need for us to climb stairs. The owners were exceptionally accommodating, allowing us to check-in much earlier than planned. They took time to explain everything we needed to know about using the apartment and recommended excellent restaurants and shops in the neighborhood. They also went out of their way to locate and personally deliver our luggage which the airline lost on arrival. Check-out was arranged the night before we departed so that we could catch an early flight the following morning. Prisco is located about 100 feet from Via Tornabuoni, the most elegant shopping street in Florence. All major tourist sites were within easy walking distance so we covered a lot of ground during our two-week stay. With the main train/bus station only a few blocks away, we found it extremely convenient to make day trips to many other Tuscan towns. Italy Perfect is a well-run online organization. Lisa, our contact, provided very useful information about visiting Florence and promptly resolved all booking issues. We have since recommended Italy Perfect to friends and look forward to our next Perfect vacation."

"Our experience with Italy Perfect was exceptional from the start. So many little hints for making one's stay great were just part of the usual process of renting! The Casetta Bonsi is a lovely house, on a sweet little street, close to everything. We never used a cab except to get to the airport - and Maurizio arranged that for us, so the cab was at our doorstep, ready to go right on time. Maurizio was very nice and helpful and welcoming. . .a great host. We loved staying on the Oltrano side of the river. We went for morning runs along the Arno, walked everywhere, and were able to easily see all parts of Florence without a car or cab. We would stay there again in a heartbeat!!"

"Just wanted you to know how much we loved staying in the Casetta Bonsi. We thought the house was adorable and loved its location in a real neighborhood. The living room was attractive and cozy, and the kitchen was well equipped, except that there could be a few more wine glasses.We didn’t cook in the house, and only used the stove to boil water for tea, but there were plenty of pots and pans and enough workspace had we decided to cook meals there. The dishwasher worked well the one time we used it. During a hot spell in Florence, the house remained cool and comfortable. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was modern and well lit, and there was plenty of hot water in the shower. The little terrace was a wonderful place to sit and read and enjoy the view of the Palazzo Vecchio tower. Our only noise issue was the sound of motorcycles parked near the front door starting up in the morning, but we adjusted once we were over our jet lag. Maurizio could not have been a more gracious and accommodating host. We very much appreciated the gift of wine, cookies and fruit that were waiting for us in the house, along with all the information on visiting Florence. The one problem we had was finding a puddle of water by the washing machine one morning. We contacted Maurizio, and he had the situation (new washer had not been connected properly) corrected within 48 hours. We used the washer the next day, and there were no more leaks. Maurizio’s suggestions for restaurants were wonderful. We tried most of them, and especially loved Cinghiale Bianco, where we enjoyed two great dinners. We had breakfast every morning at the Open Bar, down the hill from the house, and within a few days we were recognized as regulars. Most of all, it was a treat leaving the tourist hordes behind and coming back up the hill every day to our own little house. We look forward to a return visit in the future. We were also very impressed with Italy Perfect and plan to use you again for our next trip to Italy. Thanks so much for providing such a great service."

"The Pasquino Property was everything advertised and then some. My family of 5 felt completely comfortable, like a home away from home. We could leave the apartment and walk anywhere in Rome. Piazza Novona being in our backyard. Even better all financial transactions we're completed in U.S. Dollars and well ahead of our arrival. This is unlike some rentals that want a wad of local currency in hand when you arrive. Lisa answered all of our questions before we arrived, and our greeter answered all local questions. Stephano Car was a great service, grabbed our bags and took us right from the airport to our apartment, and was waiting outside the door when we left for home. I highly recommend Italy Perfect to anyone."

"We want to thank you and Italy Perfect for helping us to plan a wonderful week in Florence. The Belvedere was a lovely apartment, comfortable and well equipped. Both Francesca and Cecile were lovely and helpful. We did have a delightful time and are sorry to leave."

"Great location. Apt. well kept. Having two bathrooms a real bonus. Owners Miki and Franco were wonderful hosts who provided lots of information including the name of an excellent restaurant. My wife and I would definitely use the apt. again."

"We have stayed here before, and as always, the hosts were welcoming and helpful and the accomodations were very comfortable. The location is perfect, a short walk to the center, museums and the Arno, and there's a great café for your morning cappuccino and brioche right across the street. The area has many elegant shops and good restaurants nearby, so over-all a very good experience. I would definitely recommend these accommodations and Italy Perfect to friends."

"We had a wonderful time at the Prisco apartment ! The location was perfect and the greeters were wonderful! Everything was as advertised. Large, bright, centrally located flat with all you need to be comfortable. We read the reviews and anticipated it would be noisy do we're not surprised but once you closed the shutters in the bedroom you can sleep comfortably. We look forward to returning in the future."

"The Pasquino apartment, near Piazza Navona, is a beautifully furnished apartment with plenty of space that is very well kept. But its main advantage is its spectacular location, such that all of the major sites in Rome are within walking distance, while the apartment itself is very quiet. Given that much of the interesting activity in Rome happens fairly late in the evening by our standards, it was nice to go straight from being at the heart of activity to bed in only a few minutes. Baffetto Pizzeria, nearby, is excellent for very reasonable quality pizza (better than some of the other local tourist traps) but always has a queue - suggest turning up at opening time. The gelateria opposite it (Frigidarium) was the best we found in Rome, but it appears that others have found it too as it also often has queues. I strolled each morning to Il Fornaio (the bakery just on the other side of the main road) to pick up pastries for breakfast, and by the third visit they were recognising me and treating me as a regular, which is always nice. The presence of a nespresso machine in the apartment was greatly appreciated. Finally, there was some necessary building maintenance done during the period we stayed, but Italy Perfect kept in touch with us about what was going on and worked hard to make sure we weren't put out by this. Overall, strong recommend."

"We had a great vacation in Rome! We traveled with our three sons ages 12, 15 and 18 and had plenty of room. The main living area is very roomy and has a big dining table. The kitchen was tiny and there was no oven but we were able to make breakfast every day and a few simple dinners. There were many restaurants in the area and a grocery store only a few blocks away. Remember that you are right in the thick of the action so it was a little bit noisy at night so maybe bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper. Our greeter was fabulous and answered all of our questions and even gave us her cell phone for if we had more. We really had no complaints though note that the bathroom (the main one) only has a hand held shower in a tub which took some getting used to. Water pressure was great. The bathroom with a toilet and a sink is so tiny you can barely turn around but it so nice to have two toilets and two sinks. Thanks for a great stay."

"This four-bedroom, three-bath apartment is spacious, well-furnished, and lovely. Everything was perfect. We especially liked the neighborhood -- close enough to walk to all the sites but not touristy. There are many wonderful restaurants in the neighborhood. We especially liked Romeo and a family run restaurant next door to Romeo on Via Silla. [Thank you so much for your kind review and nice restaurant recommendations, too. The Italy Perfect Team]"

"This is a wonderful place to stay in Florence. It's location is quiet and yet close to the centre. You are within easy walking distance of all the main tourist destinations. The accommodation is comfortable, clean and attractive. The owners could not be more accommodating and friendly - I would recommend this to anyone"

"
My family and I stayed (total of 6 people) for 5 nights in this beautiful and comfortable apartment. It was a great idea instead of going to a typical hotel. The location is perfect: safe, nice, near many stores and restaurants, and at walking distance of almost all you would like to see in Rome.

"The Pasquino apartment was exactly as pictured. Clean, roomy, and conveniently located. As a family with two teenagers, we appreciated the two bathrooms, two bedrooms and all the room in the apartment. No complaints on the wifi speed from the teenagers. Our greeter was very helpful in showing us the apartment, appliances and neighborhood. The location could not be beat. We were right around the corner from Piazza Navona, a mile away from the Vatican and a little over a mile to the Colosseum. We walked everywhere! Plenty of restaurants and gelato shops right outside the door. The grocery store is very close and so is Campo de' Fiore. It was so nice to have some staples in the apartment. Taxi stand was close by for our longer trip to the catacombs. We miss hearing the nightly accordion music from the restaurants below. We felt safe in neighborhood. Enjoyed all the restaurants. We ate at the restaurants at Piazza Pasquino (right outside the door), Piazza Navona, Piazza Rotunda (Pantheon) and Campo de' Fiore. Note worthy restaurants - Piazza Pasquino : Cul de Sac, Pizzeria di Baffetto; Campo de' Fiore - Obica. We would recommend Italy Perfect to a friend and we will use them again for our next Italy trip. Italy Perfect was easy to work with, supplied great trip planning resources and answered all my questions during the planning process. We used one of transportation services recommended by Italy Perfect, Stefano. Their drivers were friendly and prompt. Thanks to Italy Perfect and the Pasquino apartment we had an awesome trip. [Dear Anna Maria. We all thank you for your comments and appreciation. It is mutual. The Italy Perfect Team.]"

"This was my second time staying at the Prisco apartment. The apartment is so comfortable and has anything and everything that you need to make your stay wonderful. The greeters are the owners and they take such great care and pride of their apartments. They are also available for questions and advice as you need it. The location of this apartment is fantastic. It seems that you can go anywhere in Florence in 10 minutes. Great bakery downstairs and many good restaurants on the area. Italy Perfect also provides you with great information on Florence and many recommendations for shopping and eating which was immensely helpful. Perfect trip back to Florence again!! I would most definitely recommend this apartment to anyone going to Florence. Thanks"

"We have been to Florence several times, and the little house of Casetta Bonsi was perfect for us. It's in a fantastic location and very well kept. It was clean, secure, and yet had all the modern conveniences. It was literally minutes from a grocery store, and there are several wonderful coffee bars and restaurants in the vicinity. I would highly recommend this place for 2-4 people. There is only one bedroom."

"My wife and I enjoyed 5 days in Firenze and the accommodations at apartment Michaela. The location is perfect, with many excellent food and shopping choices right outside the main entrance. Michaela is an easy 10 minute walk to Santa Maria Novella train and within 5-15 minute stroll to all of Firenze's treasures, Having two bath rooms was a welcomed convenience."

"We recently stayed at the Memoria apartment, and I can't say enough good things about it. The apartment exceeded our expectations. It was even better than it appears on the ItalyPerfect website. Very spacious - more than enough room for 4 people - and the location is amazing. It was fun to watch the activity in the street below, and how the light changed during the evening as the sun set. Our greeter was also excellent - she explained how things worked, was available for questions during our stay in the apartment, and even gave us shopping tips and helped us pick out some leather bags and coats.This was our second time renting an apartment in Florence from ItalyPerfect. And we will rent from then again during our next trip to Italy! I would recommend ItalyPerfect to others planning a trip to Florence."
