Excellent stay in Florence

by Kim Doyle

We couldn\'t have been any happier with the apartment or the location. Clean, stylish and well appointed, it had everything we needed. Francesca met us and was welcoming and professional. My second time booking an apartment through Perfect and would definitely stay with them again.

That is wonderful. Thank you for returning. Please come again! The Italy Perfect Team

S Croce Paradiso Review

by Suresh

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]

S Croce Paradiso Review

by Diane Sackos

The update is excellent. The unit and staff were great. We had no issue with noise. The unit has both rooms enclosed and a glass panel window to further assist with those late night parties.we did not hear anyone. Our niece and husband sleep in front room on fold out and they had no trouble with noise( this seem to be a concern we read about before arriving.) The location is great, perfect with out the extreme crowds of the duomo. We would stay again. In a minute. Italyperfect was also very helpful and responsive to any needs, requests and upfront on all other fees we might entail. Italy tax fee,electric , gas and air conditioning was not included. It is reasonable if you don’t act like your in the Marriott and want to return to a cold room regardless of if your gone all day. All in all , excellent experience! [Thank you Diane, we are delighted you enjoyed your stay! The Italy Perfect Team]

S Croce Paradiso Review

by Giovanna M.

My family and I rented three apartments in Palazzo Santa Crocei this summer in June and it was an amazing experience. We had stayed there before but with a larger group needed separate apartments. The balcony on Paradiso was amazing a bit loud at night but wonderful to hear the church bells and just people watch throughout the day. The apartment was a bit loud in general because you are so close to the piazza but how the furnishings were great and to stare at original frescoes on the wall while you went to sleep were just beautiful. Great location and beautiful apartments. So much better than staying at a hotel.

S Croce Paradiso Review

by Karen & Dan

We stayed at the S Croce Paradiso in July of 2015 with our niece for a week. The apartment was absolutely beautiful and very authentic Italian. It was clean, spacious and had all of the things you need for a comfortable stay. It was nice that the small things were provided as well - like soap, paper towels etc. The location was spectacular - you could people watch from the balcony and it was very close to many restaurants as well as the busy Piazza della Signora and Ponte Vecchio. All was within easy walking distance. Lots of shops and leather stores all around you as well. I preferred this location as it was a bit quieter - especially in July. The second bedroom was not as quiet due to the wall not reaching the ceiling, but it was only if someone was really loud in the piazza. It was not a problem at all! Our favourite restaurant was La Buchetta Cafe around the corner on via dei benci, and La Giostra for a more fine dining experience (on Borgo Pinti). Italy Perfect were wonderful as well.....we will be using Italy Perfect for our London trip next year!! [Wow, thanks so much! You really enjoyed the experience! The Italy Perfect Team]

by M

The location couldn't be better. Plenty of room for all five of us. Plus everyone had there own bath plus air conditioner in all rooms. Host were very accommodating and answered all questions. Only one flaw kitchen needed a few more items (soap for dishes and surfaces). Our six days couldn't have been better. [We are delighted your stay was so nice. The Italy Perfect team]

S Croce Paradiso Review

by Ann Christensen

This apartment was well maintained and very comfortable. The owner and manager were both very friendly and helpful . They truly made us feel at home, and were wonderful to deal with. We rented this apartment for my husband, myself and our three university aged children and there was plenty of room. The street noise is rather loud at night but this is offset by the location which affords both a wonderful view and access to many shops and restaurants . I very much enjoyed my time in Florence and I would stay in this apartment again. A heartfelt thank-you to Cecile who made us feel very welcome in our temporary home! [Dear Ann Thank you so much for your kind review. We are delighted you and your family enjoyed the apartment, Florence and the service provided by the manager, Cecile. This particular apartment is low in the building and the layout does allow the sounds of people in the piazza (it isn't traffic) to enter the apartment. Other nice apartments in this same building are organized and insulated so the sounds in the piazza don’t reach sleepers. The Italy Perfect team]

S Croce Paradiso Review

by The Chambers

The entire S Croce Square is wonderful. All of the restaurants are incredible! It is not possible to recommend one over another, each one has its own "specialness". Just the joy of walking, talking, sleeping in the Paradiso was our own personal "time-travel" location; we were there! We were there with Michaelangelo and Galileo as they rested in the S Croce Cathedral; we were there with the sights and sounds of the Renaissance all around. We walked the same streets, admired the same surrounding buildings. We were in awe of the fact that we had the opportunity to experience all of this history while staying in such a wonderful apartment. Lisa, we sincerely thank you for the opportunity to experience the beauty of the S Croce Paradiso!

by Beth and James

We had a very enjoyable stay at the Paradiso apartment. It was just as promised, clean, comfortable and very well located. Loved the area, so much to see and do. Thank you for everything! We would stay in this apartment again and have already recommended to our friends who will be in Florence next summer.

S Croce Paradiso Review

by Susi & Ernie

Just wanted to write you a quick note, to let you know how much we enjoyed our trip to Italy and especially our stay in Palazzo Santa Croce. The Paradiso apartment was perfectly located and the setup was exactly what we needed.  It was truly like coming home at the end of the day. Our only complaint was the noise from the piazza or from the restaurant next door. However, the enjoyment we got from sitting at the door [sort of shallow balcony] looking out at the piazza for the on-going activity was worth it. Our final evening, for our cooking demonstration, was thoroughly enjoyable. We wish we’d had it at the beginning of the trip, because the other guests had so much advice to share on things to do and see in the area.  Oh, well, there is always next time…. Thanks sincerely, for your assistance.
