We found the Firenze Bardi apartment to be a wonderful place to stay that greatly enhanced our Italy experience. Giuliano was very efficient, helpful and pleasant. He was available and responsive to assist us. The apartment is very nice with a great location. Everything about the experience was positive including the Italy Perfect staff. We highly recommend the Bardi apartment to others.

We highly recommend renting this apartment to anyone interested. The apartment is better for real than the beautiful pics and is a mere five steps from the famous Ponte Vecchio Bridge. The landlord is gracious and ready to help in any way

Giuliano's greeting and the location of the Bardi were just perfect! We also appreciated the space and cozy balcony. I do, however, have a few suggestions to make the stay truly "Italy Perfect!"
1. Upgrade your bath towels and sheets.
2. Provide a few groceries for people upon arrival so they don't have to run out immediately for coffee, etc.
We will certainly consider renting through you again. We know we will return to Italy! Many thanks.
[We are glad the Conley's enjoyed the great location, terrace and the warm welcome. We appreciate their good suggestion to upgrade the sheets, towels & bedding & have taken immediate action to do so. Future guests will find a higher quality of linens. The confirmation materials include the contact information for a a concierge service that can shop for groceries and deliver them to guests after they check in. Italy Perfect]

A Jewel in Florence
There were three of us at the Bardi apartment, my sister and brother-in-law and I. Our first impression of the place was very pleasant, and from there, we kept discovering its charms: the location in the heart of the Oltrarno district, near the Ponte Vecchio, shops and attractions; the lovely apartment itself, with flowers, pretty fabrics, nice art prints and photographs on the walls, small things to look at everywhere, reflecting the beauty of the city.
We had good kitchen space for cooking, with all the appliances we could want. It was fun to look out the floor-to-ceiling windows and see the tourists way down below, to eat meals or just relax on the pretty terrace, to go out for gelato across the street, or an evening stroll along the Arno. Artisan shops in the neighborhood were lovely. Air conditioning was very good.
I slept in the living room and could have had a cot rolled in but instead chose the stretch out on the long, comfortable couch. The bathroom was big and very attractive. The owner couldn't have been more gracious; on the first night, I was stranded in Dublin and didn't have the apartment phone number, so I called Guiliano, and he contacted my family for me and let them know my situation. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

The apartment was great. It is literally a few steps across the Ponte Vecchio from "downtown" Florence. The neighborhood was lively, and the Pitti Palace was a few minutes walk away. Many great restaurants, like Quatro Leoni nearby. The apartment itself was roomy and well furnished; the bedroom was large, the living room and kitchen adequate. The patio was large and sunny. It was quiet at night and until 9:00, important for us on vacation. We would definitely stay there if we return to Firenze.

We enjoyed the apartment very much. Having the terrace and electric awning made us feel like we had our own little cafe to adjourn to at the end of each day and we ate all of our meals there. Guiliano, the owner and greeter, was extremely nice and helpful. We liked the location, which was busy but not too hectic and right across from the river.
It was great being able to look out every morning at the 16th century tower north of the terrace. Restoration work was being done on the tower south of us, however; it was a bit noisy but not bothersome.
Being in the Oltrarno was great; once we got away from the tourist hub near the foot of the Ponte Vecchio (which was kind of fun, anyway) there were lots of small streets with craft shops of all kinds. My wife really liked "The Beaded Lily," which sold hand-made glass beads and designed jewelry on the spot.
Our most enjoyable night out was an evening at Teatro del Sale, a "social club" owned by Fabio Picchi. The food was great and after dinner everyone sat back to listen to a jazz trio play. It was definitely worth becoming a member for a day!
We thought your service was excellent and plan to use the agency again on our next trip to Italy. We had a wonderful time!

ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTFUL!!!!
We recently spent 5 nights at Bardi and loved it. Staying at the apartment was a treat. It's beautifully done and has everything you need.The owner was very helpful, had chocolates, flowers for us on arrival. The location is in a safe neighbourhood, near all the sights and restaurants. Loved sitting on the terrace in the mornings and evenings. Would like to stay here again on a future visit to Florence. Highly recommended! Italy Perfect's service was very friendly and professional, would definitely use them again.

We could not have asked for a better location while visiting Florence... And the check-in arrangements were excellent... As with most European Apartments.. We Americans are somewhat spoiled by our Bathrooms & Bedrooms.. So as long as you are prepared for small accommodations in the bathroom.. [The bathroom was redone in Feb 2009 for a more convenient layout.] there are only nice surprises with this apartment. A very nice balcony allowed for restful time in the evenings and the rest of the apartment was very nice. BUT.. The real value in this apartment is the location.. and for all the time you are going to be outside visiting Florence.. you could not ask for a better place... Take advantage of all the small out-of-the-way neighborhoods.. that's where the charm of Florence really is... We certainly enjoyed our time in the city.. and would recommend this apartment for anyone looking to get out to explore Florence...

The location was great.
Our Trip was amazing. Florence was by far our best city. We will be coming back next year. The location was great. We got the overall feel for the city and everything was in walking distance. Thanks so much.

The location was wonderful; the patio great. We had very temperate weather so didn't need the awning but couldn't figure out how to open it. We also did not need the air conditioning. The street below is busy and we had to shut our windows at night taking care of the sounds. Our friends from Manhattan stayed on the living room sofa bed with the windows wide open and slept soundly.

We just returned. We had an incredible time; the trip was exceedingly enriching in art, history, travel, and people. Your packets to prepare us were absolutely "right-on"; everything was as you said it was going to be. Our owner/greeter was marvelous. I feel so lucky that out of all the millions of places, I found you! Thanks for a wonderful experience. Katie

We arrived at our apartment to be greeted by our host and a lovely bottle of wine. The bedroom was spacious and airy with a large window overlooking central Florence.
We particulary loved the little terrace just outside the kitchen where we had breakfast every morning and happy hour every evening.
When we couldn't locate our key one evening, the host was there within minutes to open the door and help us out.
The location is perfect for all the major tourist destinations and just so much better than a hotel room --- truly a home away from home!

We had a lovely time in the apartment on the Via Bardi. It was everything you promised: comfortable, centrally-located, and not a stick of Ikea furniture in sight! The double glazing insulates marvelously from the street noise. The person upstairs started moving furniture about, in addition to playing the television extraordinarily loudly. [We have spoken to the caretaker of the elderly person upstairs and she has committed to keep the TV volume down as well as to being more careful and considerate about moving chairs.]
There will be a next time, we really did love the apartment, and would recommend it to anyone!

The Bardi apartment was perfect for us. We loved the location and convenience of everything. The living room is cozy and comfortable. Bed just fine. And we =enjoyed some time on the terrace; the weather was mild, so lunch al fresco and some guide book research was the perfect activity there on an October afternoon.
