Bellina

I was delighted by the service of Italy Perfect for a last minute trip and all the help they provided. The property is in an excellent central location. The features are good, as described. The local manager is a fine person. 

We had a lovely 4 day stay at the apartment. Centrally located on a quiet street, neighbors in the building were friendly (and recommended an excellent local family owned restaurant- “Edy” - our favorite during our visit), the apartment was everything that we needed. Italy Perfect helped arrange rides from the airport and to the train station. The best!

We spent 7 nights at the Bellina apartment in Rome. The location was superb! It was located on a small, quiet street near the Piazza del Popolo. We were able to walk everywhere. Matteo, our driver from the airport was very friendly and even gave us a short orientation tour of Rome on the way to the apartment. The apartment was perfect for the two of us. Carolina Vincenti took us on 3 excellent tours while we were in Rome. She was extremely knowledgable and we enjoyed her company immensely! We will definitely us Italy Perfect again when we're in Italy. The many conversations I had with Pat were extremely helpful!

We just wanted to let you know how happy we are with the arrangements you made on our behalf. Our pick up at the airport went exactly as scheduled. We were met at the Bellina apartment  by Nina and, in addition to being very pleasant, she  gave us a thorough summary of everything we needed to know about the apartment and the surrounding neighbourhood. The apartment is ideal for what we want to do. It is quiet, clean and the bed is comfortable. And as if that isn’t enough, we spent a wonderful day today with Christina as she proudly showed us some of her favourite spots in Rome. We marvelled, not only at the sights, but at her casual ability to share her seemingly  endless historical knowledge. Your company is aptly named Italy Perfect. Thank you to your and your entire team.

We loved the location of our apartment in Rome. Very near Piazza del Popolo and The Spanish Steps, we walked everywhere -- even walked to Vatican City. The apartment was small but cozy with modern conveniences in a great, old neighborhood. Our greeter, was outstanding.

My husband & I recently enjoyed a 6 night stay at the Bellina Apartment which has a very convenient & central location. We found it spacious for 2 people & thoughtfully set up. The internet access & use of a local mobile phone were very useful. 2 minor drawbacks were the very firm mattress & the lack of a full size ironing board when like us you are travelling for 3 weeks. Our favourite local resaurant was Palathium (from our Italy Perfect recommendations) & we went there twice. The Italy Perfect service was very good & our greeter very helpful & pleasant.

We rented the Bellina apartment on very short notice after another accommodation fell through. We especially appreciate Lisa's help: she not only knows the properties, but also the location. We stayed 8 nights over the new year and found the apartment extremely comfortable: great sofas for reading, comfortable bed and good linens. The decor was far better than so many of the tacky, Rome apartments. Only two drawbacks of the apartment itself. First, the kitchen could have been better stocked: a better skillet and larger pot for pasta, a juice squeezer, etc. We like to cook and the butchers on the street, the green grocers, the fresh pasta from the charming shop on Via de Greci and a good enoteca on Via di Ripetta make this an ideal spot for easy, good and inexpensive meals. The location, while not my first choice, ended up to be quite nice. We liked the street, and being close to Piazza Popolo, especially to take it in early in the mornings or late at night. Just a 20 minute walk to Piazza Navona or Campo de' Fiori; great access to the metro. We didn't eat out a lot in this neighborhood, but did have a fun Sunday brunch at Babette's (the French/Italian restaurant) between Via Babuino and Margutta just one block from Popolo. A word of caution, V. del Corso and Babuino are packed with shoppers, and this can get tiresome, but there are plenty of small streets in this area that are fun to explore. (Or, consider being there in January: the sales--soldi--are spectacular.) We definitely plan on using Italy Perfect again, even if we choose another apartment, or perhaps for another city. Again, thank you, Lisa, for all your help.

The Bellina worked for us very well; we were blessed with a favorable euro/dollar exchange rate and the apartment provided lots of good space, far more than a hotel room, for just under $ 250 U.S. per night for the two of us. The kitchen was efficient even if we used it very little; the bedroom was cozy with many pillows and blankets; the bathroom functioned well. We particularly liked the living room space with it's two couches and flat screen tv---a fine place to collapse after rigorous days of being tourists. The Italy Perfect staff were very helpful,pleasant and efficient. We shall be back!

The Bellina apartment was great. Thank you for your numerous arrangements. We shall call on you again when we go to Italy next.

Our Bellina apartment was wonderful! My husband and I were so happy there. Jim would go out early am and bring me a coffee. Then he'd head out and get something simple for breakfast while I got dressed to start our day. A couple of days we brought dinner in. We did tons of walking and enjoying Rome (sometimes getting home around 7pm) Nothing better than getting in the shower, having some wine and enjoying a dinner in. We did our big eating at lunch time. Jim got to know a lot of the store keepers on our street! They were all great. Thank you for sending us so much information about Italy. We read it twice before we left and really benefited from it. Also a great big thank you for giving us Stefano's name for a driver. He picked us up at the airport and took us back to the airport. We were so happy with him. He's a great guy and very reliable. I have recommended our apartment to a lot of our friends. You all are a great find. Again, Thanks. I highly recommend the Bellina apartment!! A great location!!!

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!

First, let me say that the apartment was absolutely lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

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.

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.

Everything was fine and the greeters attentive. We really enjoyed spending a blissful month in Roma with our daughter. A trip we will always remember.
