 The highlight in the bleak wintry times is the Carnival of course. Venice steps back in time as an international crowd dress and party whilst the rest of Europe hibernates.
Piccola Perla has the primary week available from 16 to 23 February, incorporating the main weekend procession.
Into the spring and summer there is an opportunity to visit other beautiful places. Padua, Vicenza and Verona.All within an hour by train.

A number of visitors have been the recipients of gifts as wedding, engagement,graduation and special anniversaries. Perfect memories even if only for a three night stay at Piccola Perla.
2012 sees the Architectural Biennale from 13 August followed by the International Venice Film Festival.
Bella Venezia

Venice,Valentine, imagine giving the most perfect present.

Piccola Perla has now seen weddings, engagements honeymoons and numerous celebrations.

Only in Venice is spring so magical, imagine romantic pale mornings and bright sunshine through the day, followed by rose sunsets.
A time to escape in quiet streets, discovering a tiny trattoria enjoyed by Venetians. Delicious Prosecco at the local bar.
Enjoy the romance of Valentine. From the crazy fun of Carnival, Easter is in late April this year.

Venice at Carnival 11/12/2009

Carnival Venice fulfills its fantasy (Availability for Piccola Perla in the middle  of the Carnival 8 to 12 February 2010) . Twelve days in February of Balls , masks and fun.Local Venetians celebrate alongside visitors from all over the world. From glamorously expensive Balls to children's fancy dress competitions, Carnival is like no other.
So the season's come round,Venice as beautiful and sparkling as ever.
I am told that for many people winter is their favourite time in Venice. Scurrying through mists it is so evocative as famous landmarks appear then vanish. Local people call to on another across quiet campo huddled in the latest cashmere and for an older generation, tiny ladies swamped in fur. Cafes steam and sparkle, while heavenly music emanates from churches and scuola.
For those who prefer this quiet Venice, softly romantic  with sunshine reflected from the snowy  Dolomites, winter is the perfect time to visit.
Venice sparkles with opera at La Fenice and numerous choirs singing in San Marco. Fabulous shops from designer clothes to famous Murano glass seem even more exquisite in winter lamplight.
 St Mark's Square softly lit along the collanades with Florian's and Quadrini's cafes inviting one in, just as they have done for the past three hundred years.
Last New Year Piccola Perla was the romantic hideaway for a couple who married on the Grand Canal.

Venice Piccola Perla: in the mellow light of autumn. .
 The Guardian recommended Piccola Perla in 'Been There'

  Please do book early if popular times or a special date are wanted.
The autumn is a perfect time to visit the Veneto on wine tours.An hour away is the 'Prosecco trail' and my friends Anne and Mario have a B&B for the'Valopoicello trail. I stayed there in the summer and attended the most glorious production of Tosca at the Verona Arena. Fun to do a two centre holiday. The Veneto is awash with fungi, chestnuts and wine, all celebrated with little festa.

    Venice must be one of the few places in the world which has not turned Christmas into razzamatazz. This it keeps for Carnival. Twelve days in February of Balls , masks and fun.Local Venetians celebrate alongside visitors from all over the world. From glamorously expensive Balls to children's fancy dress competions Carnival is like no other.
