"I have already passed on your Italy Perfect web details to friends here in Japan & back home in New Zealand. Thank you for the help you gave us, it made our holiday stress free & great fun!"

"It was a lovely house in a lovely setting. We so enjoyed our stay. Francesco & his mother Franca who greeted us were absolutely charming. I wanted to tell you what a great time we had at Casa San Vito. The place was perfect, neat, clean, and had every amenity we could want. Even your EXCEEDINGLY THOROUGH directions. Instructions were really great, especially for the how-to-get-there directions. We would definitely stay there again. I hope we get the opportunity."

"I had the best time in Italy and I am looking forward to going back in the fall possibly. I loved the Michaela apartment."
Clara Berta
"The accommodations were perfect. The apartment was very spacious and comfortable. I'm particular and this apartment worked out beautifully - from the location to the linens and towels. The layout worked out great as well. My son, Tommy (12) loved the small room with the loft and my daughter, Sarah (10) loved having the larger bedroom in the back to her self with the large closet. It's hard to say what we liked the most - for me it was the bed in the master bedroom. The comforter and linens were great and it's the best nights' sleep I had in Italy. The only problems we encountered were the water pressure in the back bathroom shower. The kids used our shower which was fine. The location was perfect for us. We walked everywhere, even to the Vatican and the Colosseum. Each night we walked to dinner and back which was great and we loved all of the shopping. Our favorite restaurants were Nino's; Ristorante Mario; and Recafe. I was a big fan of the fresh produce market at the end of the street every morning. The vendors were so cheerful and helpful and the cafe on the way was great. I got pastries for the kids every morning on my way back from the open market. I would recommend anyone use Ann Hogan, private tour guide. She made our visit to the Vatican an amazing experience. We could not have done it justice on our own and 3 hours flew by. I will definitely look to using your service again when we go back to Italy - and your sister's if it's London or Paris. Pat, thanks for your help with the apartment in Rome. It was truly the highlight of our trip. I can't wait to go back"

"Our hostess and greeter clearly wanted us to be happy ... and we were. Accommodations were excellent. It quickly became our "home" and we can't imagine staying anywhere else when we're in Rome. We enjoyed the most the terrace. Plants were in full bloom during our stay, and we really enjoyed the outdoor space. It's also nice that guest quarters [second and third bedrooms] can be closed off, allowing complete privacy. The location is ideal. A ristorante called "Edy" became a favorite ... maybe 2 blocks away (on Vicolo del Babuino, between Via di Babuino and Via Margutta). You seem to have perfected the art of service. "

"We had a very pleasant stay in Rome at the Bellina apartment. Your company's services were excellent, I can't think of any improvements. We will certainly use your services again."

"We were delighted with our stay. Thank you for all your help and recommendations. Casa Rossa was just what we wanted and we enjoyed our stay immensely."
P. Donnelley
"Thanks Lisa, we are back from our trip to Italy, and the apartment in Rome was fabulous. We thoroughly enjoyed having our own Roman home for a few days. What an ideal location! Thanks for your help in setting up these accommodations."
Paulette Lockwood
"Great location for going almost anywhere. The Roma Pas gave us excellent transportation plus skipping long lines at museums and places such as the Coliseum. We had great weather - over 60 degrees F and no rain for the week we were here. We were out so much we hardly used the beautiful terrace. Now back to snow and rain in Minneapolis."
Jana H
"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."
Jeanne Lynch
"Everything was fine and Paul and Marisa {greeters] attentive. We really enjoyed spending a blissful month in Roma with our daughter. A trip we will always remember."
Erika Ray
"I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed my stay. The Michaela is perfect for a single person, and Miki and Franco were delightful hosts. I loved the city and wish I could have stayed longer, and when I'm fortunate enough to return, I definitely will reserve the Michaela again. Thank you again for everything. If you need a reference for the apartment, please feel to use me. I loved it!"
Lisa Evans
"San Vito was in the perfect location, close enough to Florence and the surrounding countryside. We loved the place, and would recommend it to anyone. As you had mentioned, Francesco and his family are very warm and friendly and welcoming. We even had a chance to help at the olive harvest, including taking the olives to the processing plant, seeing how the oil is made, and having our very own bottle of olive oil on our table the very next evening."
Gordon & Elaine Graham
"I wanted to write and thank you, and Miki and Franco, for my stay in Firenze. I had a glorious time. My daughter Caitlin and I wandered to the Italian Riviera and all around Tuscany, and had an absolutely memorable experience. It was so nice to return at the end of the day to "my" place on Via della Spada. The apartment was perfect for my needs and the location, well, perfect. I must tell you, during the end of my stay I was alone for the day as my daughter was attending class. I wandered to Fiesole and found myself having lunch at a wonderful restaurant recommended by Miki. An American couple sat down at the same restaurant a short time later and we began a conversation. It was revealed that we were both visiting our respective children and the conversation moved on to where we were staying. We both began to report on the wonderful apartments we had in a great location in Firenze and then ultimately realized we're staying a few doors apart [at the Prisco apartment] and we both booked through Italy Perfect. Maggie and her husband Bob were delightful people and we all laughed about how "small" the world has indeed become. Thanks again Lisa; this will be a memory that both my daughter and I will cherish."
Kelly Carroll
"Our visit to Florence went well, and the Michaela apartment was very convenient. We will definitely recommend your business."
Paul Gannon
"We have returned from our week at the Castello and I wanted to write to say how much we enjoyed our stay. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we are thinking of traveling there again in June 2007 with the extended family and having 3 villas/apartments."
Karen C
"We were a bit nervous on our drive to the house this being our first time driving in the Italian countryside, the narrow, winding roads, and rather inconspicuous signage had us a bit on edge. But as we neared the house, we spotted it in the distance. It was pretty as a picture! We made our way down the gravel road between vineyards and olive groves, and arrived at the house. Once inside, we were charmed by everything: The kitchen fireplace, the enormous patio overlooking the countryside, the modern conveniences tucked into the rustic, homey environment. After a quick run to the adorable “mini market” back up the road, we were ready to settle in. Our dear friends from Paris had rented the house across the courtyard. We all met outside for a glass of the “house wine” – literally, the wine made in the ground floor of Casa Rosa – and some wonderful Italian food. It was just like the movies! The owners were delightful – they had just completed their harvest, and were literally making their wine during our stay. They invited us into their winery to sample some “fresh” wine and watch them stomping grapes – explaining that they were using the “must” to make grappa. Throughout our stay we enjoyed Tuscany from our comfortable home base of Casa Rosa. We had fabulous meals, enjoyed fantastic sights, and took away amazing memories. Thank you for making our trip to Tuscany an experience of a lifetime."
Cid & Jay Filter
"All three apartments in Florence (Prisco, Michaela and Strozzi) worked out great. We loved having everyone in the same building (and hallway). That was perfect. The units were exactly as advertised and they were in a GREAT location in Florence. We liked it a lot and would definitely stay there again if we came back to Florence in the future. Two of our favorite restaurants were a stone's throw away -- Il Latini and Osteria Bella Donne."
Jeff Shabel
"We really enjoyed our time at Casa San Vito, making day trips into Firenze and all the other spots we wanted to see. The home was pretty much as we expected/described on the website. We felt the location was ideal. Even Pisa/Livorno were no more than 90 minute drives. Our weather was ideal, but in August, that's expected. As all other guests have remarked, the hosts are fabulous people... everything was great."
Bob Shaw
"I felt very safe and comfortable in the apartments [Michaela and Prisco]. Miki and Franco went out of their way to help me with some things unrelated to the apartment, and I had everything I could possibly need. The neighborhood is great and I absolutely loved being right in the center of town, able to come and go easily and utilize the kitchen and the quiet for inbetween all of my sightseeing and Florence activities. It was so easy to communicate with Lisa- she always responds promptly and kindly to any inquiries. I highly recommend the apartments offered through Italy Perfect."
