GREAT LOCATION

Very nice location and set up, second bathroom very small, only two partial rolls of TP were left, we needed to buy our own. You will need to bring coffee pods, thank goodness the store is nearby.

Wonderful stay!

We had a wonderful stay at Memoria apartment in Florence. Location is fantastic, practically right on top of the Ponte Vecchio bridge. Could have been noisy, but with the new windows they installed it was very quiet. Washer & Dryer was a huge convenience. Wish we'd brought less clothes! lol. The 4 stars on cleanliness was only because it seemed the floors weren't super clean when barefoot, and the italian coffee pot had grounds and mold in it. This speaks to the cleaning crew, not the property itself and wasnt a reflection on the wonderful time we had. We wore our slippers inside and we scrubbed the pot so no big deal. Isabel was a huge help, checked us in, showed us around and was very helpful with any questions we had. Even took some walks with one of the girls in the early mornings. I would stay here again if back in Florence. We were 3 women together and the 2 bedrooms and 2 baths worked great for us. One room had a comfortable queen bed and the other 2 twin beds. Tub/Shower could be a little difficult for some to climb into. The 2nd bath has a small walk in shower. The Elevator in the building saved our legs & knees after walking miles and miles! Very comfortable and fun stay! Thank you!

Great apartment in best location

Two couples traveling over Easter, third time for one and first for the other. Sitting on the balcony overlooking the bridge was one of many highlights of the start, midday and evening memories we will have. Accessible to walking throughout the city. Great restaurant suggestions by our hostess. We had slight issue with hot water and all was rectified within the hour. Convenient to supermarket just over the bridge, Conas which had anything we needed. The apartment was very well equipped and our on,y complaint was we had to leave at the end of our vacation.

Excellent location - high quality standards.

Couldn't have asked for a better location for exploring all that Florence has to offer. The team at Italy Perfect (Pat and Lisa) are phenomenal!!! Their communications, coordination, and friendly assistance were spectacular. They went out their way to assist with travel to wine country, and recommend good local restaurants (not touristy.) The property is decorated to a very high standard - everything you need is there. The views are spectacular!! Isabel the greeter was on time, helpful, friendly, and available as needed (assisted with booking transportation.) My wife and I travel extensively, and are pretty demanding when it comes to where we stay. We highly recommend this property.

What a view!!

What a view!! This spacious, bright & sunny apartment is literally on the Arno, right next to the Ponte Vecchio, you could not ask for a more perfect location! Enjoy your morning coffee sitting on the terrace watching the day bustle to a start and in the evening, sip your wine while watching the sunset over the Arno. The apartment is very clean and comfortable, with plenty of closet space, large well equipped kitchen and 2 bathrooms (great water pressure), one of which is quite large. Noise while sleeping was not an issue as they have very good windows and, when closed, block most of the street sounds. There is a convenient, very well stocked grocery store an easy 5 minute walk just on the other side of the bridge, also a pharmacy right around the corner….really everything you need is in very easy (flat) walking distance with all the major sites just minutes away. A truly fantastic location. The living room sofas and chairs are very comfortable and there are large sliding glass doors from the living room onto the terrace that give the dining and living rooms tons of light and, of course, views. While it was sunny on my visit, I imagine the apartment would be airy even on rainy days. I’ve stayed in a number of Italy Perfect apartments over the years, and this one is assuredly up to their standards….I would move in long term if I could! Lisa and Pat, thank you for your professionalism and attention to detail…this apartment is wonderful, I’ll never forget those views!

The views over the Ponte Vecchio into the Tuscan hillside were breathtaking

In the heart of it all...As this was my first trip to Italy and Florence, I am grateful for the level of service, and quality of lodging Italy Perfect offered. The destination/location advice for our needs was spot on, and reservation process very personable and efficient. Our taxi dropped us off at Memoria, from the train station, so we could promptly meet our greeter, and receive a timely, informative, and thorough orientation to the flat, and the area. The first thing you realize about Memoria, is the central location. Our door is at the base of one side of the Ponte Vecchio! So surreal. We walked to all the major museums and sites from our front door taking literally just minutes to Uffizi, Palazzo Pitti, Accademia Gallery, Cathedral of Santa Maria Fiore, and wonderful outdoor markets, as well as a plethora of boutiques and restaurants of all price points. When inside, the views over the Ponte Vecchio into the Tuscan hillside were breathtaking, virtually any time day or night. Loved that balcony. The flat is nicer than it appears in the photos. It includes comfy furniture, good wifi, good water pressure, washer & dryer (!), ample closet space and a well-appointed kitchen (used primarily for breakfasts) and very clean. Loved the formal dining room for entertaining a small group for dinner. Hope to return next year.

Incredible View and Great Service

We were met by Isabel promptly and given a full tour of the apartment. It's a beautiful space and the huge sliding doors to the balcony give you the perfect view of the bridge and river. It's so easy to walk to everything from this location. She was so helpful and offered to assist us with any questions we had. She gave us restaurant recommendations that were off the beaten path and even scheduled our taxi rides for departure. We have used VRBO many times but never had the attention we had on this trip. We would highly recommend this apartment and especially Isabel.

ItalyPerfect made our trip to Italy just perfect

Memoria was a comfortable apartment in an absolutely ideal location. We can't imagine staying in any other place when we go back to Florence! And our greeter, Isabel, was friendly, professional and efficient. She not only met us as scheduled, having purchased some initial groceries for us, but she also helped us out with a couple of other requests during our stay. She is a great resource for you. Our only suggestion for Memoria is that you furnish it with softer sheets and linens, and clear out some of the existing linens. We can hardly wait to go back for another stay! Meanwhile we have already told friends about ItalyPerfect and how well they worked with Claudia, our travel agent.

Florence vacation, Memoria Apartment

Accommodations and location were excellent. Everything was in walking distance from the apartment. Restaurants and other eating establishments in the area were excellent. Local residents were friendly and helpful. Isabell was very helpful in setting up tours and helping the ladies in their shopping endeavors. Did a good job explaining everything when we first got there and was available as questions arose during our stay. Also, Carolina was an excellent Tour Guide while in Rome for a couple of days. I would recommend this apartment and Italy Perfect to all interested parties!

Memoria Memories

Memoria was a prefect apartment for three of us for one week. The location is perfect and the view...cannot be adequately described. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, spacious, adequately appointed (including an operating WIFI, a washer and a dryer) and the balcony is a joy. Italy Perfect was easy to work with during the rental procedure. Our greeter was on time to meet us and provided a simple, yet full orientation to the apartment and the operations of the various items therein. She was also very responsive helping to take care of a minor issue that occurred during our stay. For those planning a week or longer stay in Florence, I cannot imagine a better property.

Fantastic apartment in Florence

My wife and I stayed in this apartment in Florence in April, 2016 and we had a very enjoyable trip. The apartment is cheerful, bright and very well located overlooking the Pointe Vechio Bridge. It is large with two bedrooms and two baths, a large bright living room, a fantastic balcony, a dining room, a good sized kitchen and good bathroom with tub-shower. It has a washer and dryer. It is 3 minutes to the Uffizi gallery and Piaza Dell Singori, very close to shopping and dining. The apartment is more pretty and larger than the pictures show. We were blessed with good weather during our stay. To reserve the apartment was made by Patty from Italy perfect and were very easy. She responded quickly usually within 1-2 hours and answered all my questions, and gave clear instructions. Transferring the money was easy and secure. Our greeter Isabel was great. She met us at the apartment, showed us around, and gave recommendations regarding restaurants. I recommend getting the Florence Tourist pass. It is 72 Euros but well worth it. You get free admission to all museums and can use public transportation and see Italian villas. It is valid for 72 hours. It can be purchased on line or from the Uffizi gallery. The food is exceptional, and not very expensive. Try to eat where the locals eat. If you order coffee standing you pay only one Euro, but if you sit it is more expensive. Getting cash back at the airport for tax free items you bought is very easy. I definitely recommend this apartment and highly recommend Italy perfect. I already made reservation for an apartment in Rome in the fall.

Very comfortable, clean and well equipped

This property is as advertised: quite large and nicely furnished down to the linens and kitchen compliments. Well maintained and clean. Superb location on a busy street right on the Arno, but high quality windows facing the street keep traffic noise to a minimum. Isabel, the "greeter" was very helpful, and when I suffered a foot injury while in Florence helped locate a physician. We would stay there again.

Amazing apartment!

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.

Heaven on the 4th Floor

We stayed in Memoria for one week, September 5-12. The weather was PERFECT, this time of year. The apartment is divinely situated on the east bank of the Arno with a balcony that allowed us to sit and enjoy the storybook view. Spacious, clean rooms; comfortable beds, two full baths and room to truly "live" in Florence. We found a wonderful market right over the Ponte Vecchio with all the fresh produce, salumi, prosciutto, cheeses and affordable wines we needed. Our greeter helped us with restaurant reservations and recommended our favorite restaurant of the trip: Quattro Leones (4 Lions). (Order the fig, buratta and prosciutto salad). The cab cost a flat Euro 20 from the airport and taxis were easy to get and the dispatchers speak English. We can't wait to get back. Italy Perfect provided all the background info and instructions that made it seamless. We also used their recommended driver, Stefano, for a day trip and they were wonderful!!!!

Sitting on the balcony we saw amazing sunsets every evening over the river

I stayed at the Memoria Apartment in Florence in mid-August with my daughter and her college friend. It was in a fantastic location right near the north side of the Ponte Vecchio. The two bedrooms, the dining room, living room and the balcony all overlooked the Arno river and the Ponte Vecchio. Sitting on the balcony we saw amazing sunsets every evening over the river. The location is close to all the major sights and shopping. Crossing over the Ponte Vecchio to the grocery store was only a 3 minute walk. We would eat in at breakfast, then have appetizers and wine on the balcony before going out to dinner. Most importantly for three traveling women, we felt safe at this location. It was common to see police walking the area around the Ponte Vecchio. In the evenings, there was an organized musical event on the bridge; usually someone singing and playing guitar, and people of all ages would enjoy the show while eating their gelati. The windows in the apartment were insulated, so street noise was not a problem. I hope to return to this location with my husband. He and I had stayed at the nearby Portrait Hotel last spring; however, I feel that this apartment is a much better deal.

Ideal Location

The Memoria apartment was located in an ideal location looking down on the Ponte Vecchio with a view up and down the Arno. The apartment was larger than we expected with every amenity we would want. We especially liked the balcony, dining room, living room and kitchen. The "greeter" was most helpful and made a special trip to meet us even though our plane was delayed because we had to land in Bologna. We would happily rent Memoria again. We were impressed with all your information about Florence, etc. We were especially impressed by Stefano Giusti car service who sent us a very nice driver to take us to San Gimignano (can't remember his name). Your company seemed more professional and streamlined to deal with than other services we looked into (one all-inclusive charge). Yes we would, and have, recommended Italy Perfect to friends.

Memories of Memoria

This apartment is as central as you can get to the heart of Firenze. It is on the fourth floor [with elevator] overlooking the Ponte Vecchio and the Arno. It is fully equipped with individual air conditioning in each room. The rooms are spacious and bright. Be sure to start your morning with Fernando's cappuccino at the Circus Restaurant in Piazza dell Signoria. We also loved the recently opened Fosso Bandito restaurant situated in a beautiful park a little west of the downtown area. Not to miss - Michelangelo's David in the Galleria dell'Accademia. Be sure to pre book to avoid the long line-ups. We highly recommend this apartment to anyone.
