We had a wonderful time visiting Rome. The apartment Via Vento was very comfortable and classy. Loved having the washer and dryer, made for packing much lighter, beds very comfortable, couldn't ask for a better location. The only thing we can really say was a negative, the EARTH QUAKE that hit on April 6th at 3:30 am on our 2nd night there. It was a very scary experience to be awaken in the middle of the night from something as awful as that was. I also want to add, working with Pat from Italy Perfect was a joy and a pleasure. She set us up with more information then we could have ever expected, answered all questions plus passed on companies for car pick up at the airport, she made our experience one to come back for more. Our next time in Rome we would very much love to stay at the Via Vento Apartment. Thanks Pat for all your help, hope to be renting again very soon..

EXCELLENT STAY Apr 2009 We had enjoyed thoroughly staying a week at the Via Veneto apt. The location is in a nice area, 15 minutes to the city center & the walk back uphill was a nice exercise. The place is quiet enough considering most city apts can be noisy.The size & provisions in the apartment is excellent, but the door locks needs to be smoothen up. [The earthquake caused some doors to stick.] The tour books & Italy Perfect's guidance have been very handy. Pat/Lisa is always there to answer our queries. We won't hesitate to recommend this apartment.

The neighborhood couldn't possibly offer more choices Feb 2009 The Via Veneto apartment is very well laid out, plenty of closets, quiet and extremely efficient. Internet access was a big plus and allowed me to travel with my laptop and stay in touch with family and business associates as well as plan my activities in Italy. Having a washer and dryer allowed me to pack lighter. I've had washers in other foreign apartments, but never a dryer. The kitchen had all appliances necessary for an extended stay. Having an elevator stop at the door was convenient for luggage and groceries. The neighborhood couldn't possibly offer more choices. I found the Despar Supermarket, 2 blocks away on Via Toscana, to have everything I needed. The Peluso wine shop is even closer with a wide selection of wines at very reasonable prices. I lost count of the number of restaurants in the vicinity, but there are plenty. The family who operate Cafeteria / Pasticceria Lotti, a 1/2 block away on Via Sardegna, were terrific. Caffe Lotti quickly became my choice for morning cappuccino and a croissant. They bake their own pastries, which were hard to pass up, and in the evening Lotti will prepare hot take away meals to enjoy back at the apartment. Lucio and Lucca are the morning baristas and Lorenzo usually handles evenings. Cousins Regina (morning) and Paola (nights) are at the register and behind the pastry counter. Lotti also serves American breakfasts of eggs, bacon, toast etc. Caffe Lotti was definitely my choice over Leon Bar. The proximity of bus and Metro access was another plus as well as the opportunity to get away from the city and walk the peaceful grounds of Villa Borghese only minutes away. A representative of the owner was at the apartment to greet me upon arrival and explained everything. The owner offered another comfort level as he phoned a few times to be sure everything was in order and offered information and assistance. Italy Perfect / Excellent Europe supplied the most complete package of information I have ever received prior to departure. Your companies should be the model for foreign rentals agencies. All in all, my three weeks at the Via Veneto apartment in Rome were both Excellent and Perfect. Thank you.

Accommodations overall were very nice. We enjoyed the location the most. It was located within walking distance of many places we wanted to go, including eating spots of all kinds.The problems or drawbacks were, for the most part, minor, except a gas shutdown by the city that shut off our hot water and heat. However, Italy Perfect's manager did all he could to reinstate heating by an alternate source, successfully, on the day after.So, Italy Perfect's service was, as usual, excellent.One tourist trap with poor service and mediocre food to avoid, is Ristorante Galeassi, which is recommended in some publications. They served us slowly and reluctantly, with some ridicule at our poor Italian language skills and gave us a dish we did not order instead of what we ordered. Because of our schedule, it was too late to send the dish back since it took so long to get served. So we left after paying the bill, with the intent to let others know of the problem.

The apt. was great for us it had evrything it advertised and what we needed, especially the washer n dryer,it allowed us to bring less which was a big plus,the location was good we walked all over or took the metro which was so cost effective and handy,Leons across the street was good for metro tix and a cannoli too..also quite a few restaurants nearby our favorite end up being La Bruschetta a few doors down our waiter,Bonifaccio was fantastic and fresh food was the order of the day there, shopping a block away on the famous Via Veneto ...Upon arrival to our apartment our driver called the landlord who could not be there to greet us but sent a representative,Rosie who arrived 10 mins or so after we got dropped off and she showed us the apartment,it was clean and well stocked ..We would certainly rent this apartment again..and a big Thanks to Lisa for all the info she provided..the only drawback I could find if i had to find one they could use some new bed pillows ours were too flat - it was almost like you didn't even have one under your head. [We replaced pillows. Pat]

The apartment was great for us, it had everything as advertised and what we needed, especially the washer and dryer, it allowed us to bring less which was a big plus. The location was good we walked all over or took the metro which was so cost effective and handy. Leons snack bar across the street was good for metro tickets and a cannoli too..also quite a few restaurants nearby our favorite ended up being La Bruschetta a few doors down our waiter, Bonifaccio, was fantastic and fresh food was the order of the day there, shopping a block away on the famous Via Veneto. The apartment was clean and well stocked ..We would certainly rent this apartment again..and a big thanks to Lisa for all the info she provided.

The apartments were great as were their hosts Jun 2008 We just want to thank you for facilitating our accomodation rentals in Rome [Veneto] and Florence [Strozzi]. Thank you also for the reccomendation for Venice. The apartments were great as were their hosts. We found that the best way to see Rome, Florence and Venice; like many others before us, is to simply get lost walking (but carry a good map, just in case). We figured if you just walk in the general direction of where you want to go, you'll eventually end up at your destination. Plus, you find so many interesting things along the way!

Accommodation exactly as described with helpful greeting etc. We really enjoyed the sandwiches/panini with things you would never eat in a sandwich at home and that could be bought any way and eaten on the run. In my view Italy survives as a nation due only to the the people who were without exception helpful and friendly living the the chaos that is the country. The location is good. Not long to the city, and next to a nice park, with cafes around - it was good. There is a coffee shop, ~30m to the left when you come out of the building. They were more than helpful - and the coffee was excellent. Do not rely on the tourist bus tours. Especially the Archaeological tour. The timetable is advisory at best, and they do not always stop. The standard busses and metro service were more reliable! Actually, you have been very good - but a situation map showing the actual building location in the street would have been useful on the first day.
