"A bijou apartment with a secret courtyard"

Ideal location in quiet Venice yet only ten minutes from St. Mark's Square.

Piccola Perla, little pearl originated as a dream to own an apartment in Venice. Over the past four years it has been shared by many guests.
Bookings still arrive via an original article in The Guardian asking for a place to stay with kids.
I personally run the site and try to accommodate guest's dates and celebrations. Last New Year hosted a wedding, and of course it is ideal for intimate honeymoons.

The enclosed courtyard makes it very secure for little children, and older ones join the locals playing in Campo Bandieri e Moro as bells ring from the church where Vivaldi was baptized.
Venice is the perfect city for Art and culture. Venetians themselves flock to the Fenice theatre. Nearby the Arsenale hosts two contemporary theatres and shares its venue with the Giardini for the Art and Architecture Biennale.
Older guests appreciate the quiet, and the apartment has easy access to the vaporetti at Arsenale and San Zaccaria by St Marks Square.

San Antonin is a lovely area minutes from the Riva degli Schiavoni. Local cafes serve delicious homemade pastries, enjoyed by visitors locals and their dogs. Famous restaurants Al Cova and Corte Sconta are around the corner, yet small inexpensive places can be found.
The local Punto supermarket is very good. A treat is to visit the Rialto markets for amazing fish and vegetables.

Wandering and being lost is part of the charm of Venice and Piccola Perla is the little dream to return to.

"We had a lovely few days in the aptly named Piccola Perla!  It was just like staying with friends rather than a rented apartment, books, CDs, everything to hand made it a really relaxing and friendly break, and the location made us feel like Venetians for a few days! " Steve and Lorraine 2008
