We enjoyed our stay so much that we are just waiting for September 2018 to appear on your website so that we can book for next year. We'd like to have the week commencing Saturday Sept. 1st if it is free.

Yes we had a great holiday thanks in part to wonderful weather - only 1 day was cold and rain only through one night. We enjoyed all that we did but mainly just being there! A concert in Della Pieta was a fulfillment after so long of wishing it! Also the Klimt was worth seeing and 2 trips to our favourite island Burano. Expect us for a fifth visit perhaps Autumn 2015?

We had a fantastic time, arriving in spectacular style on the Orient Express in a thunder storm. The apartment was lovely and so convenient for everything. We loved popping to the bakers every morning to collect our panini alla noci . Picola Perla was everything we wished for and you had thought of everything we could possibly need. We would definitely like to return in the future and will definitely recommend it to our family and friends, Best wishes

Quick reply from the train!- thank you SO much for everything. It's the little touches that make such a difference: the proper crockery and Venetian cookery book and ample supplies of dishcloths etc! (and of course the prosecco...) I too hope we have the chance to come back. Thank you so much for lending us your space!

Oh, we have had such a lovely time, even a 2 hour delay on the return with my friend BrianAir couldn’t eclipse it, just more time for the magic to seep in. Today has been full on, I shall be in touch as soon as I am clear to toast Piccolo Perla and all who dream with her. Many thanks. xx ( navigated those streets effortlessly by the sun. I think a retirement job as a Gondo looms.)

Dear Valerie, We have had another lovely stay in our favourite city, made all the more special thanks to 'Piccola Perla', and we look forward to a return visit as soon as we are able. The weather this time was very mixed, with more rain than we have experienced before, however, that did not deter us in the least, and, as our daughter remarked, "you have to experience a place in all climates, to feel you know it". We think we may just give winter a miss 'tho; coming from the Pennines we feel we have a vast experience of severe winter weather!! It was lovely to have the opportunity to be 'Venetians' for a week, and to have 'the little pearl' as our base, with freedom to come and go was superb. Thank you for allowing us this opportunity, you really do have a little gem. Cheers & Ciao!-

We had a wonderful Golden Wedding week in Piccola Perla, and we were impressed by the amount of useful information you provided about the apartment, the locale and the amenities. The apartment was lovely, the location was very quiet, yet very convenient for so many of Venice’s attractions and Venice was as beautiful as ever. the end of the week when we were caught up in the delays and disruptions caused by the Icelandic volcano, thank you for your consideration and help. We hope to have the chance to come back some time.

So relaxing and lovely to have a (temporary) home of our own.

As veggies who do not eat fish, we found restaurant food a bit limited, so were glad to be able to do our own thing.

My only advice would be not to venture out for a brief late night stroll, after a few glasses of wine, without a map. You too might unfortunately find yourself an hour and a half later at the Rialto bridge...

Arrived in thick snow...lovely location

Our visit to Alberoni beach on the Lido was a nice change from the city, but too hot to stay long
David and Margaret
On a visit from Brisbane, Australia. If the children don't sleep I can recommend half a glass of red wine before bed! worked a treat

We all had a wonderful time, still swaying from the vaporetto ride. I had almost forgotten everything about Venice since my last visit 22 years ago, and it was a delight to revisit with my husband and younger son. We spent the last day at the Guggenheim (wonderful) and the Giardini (awash with the perfume of Trachelospermum) and the delicious flavours of home made zabaglione ice cream).

Magical evening walk between Piccola Perla and San Marco, through driving sleet and snow... wish we were here longer

Angus invites everyone to play with the lovely yellow football in Campo Bandiera E Moro

The trip to Pallestrina was a real treat and a surprise, for somewhere so close to Venice the island was wild and unspoilt, cheap freshly caught fish too
Jane and Mick
Chipped a plate, flooded the bathroom, blew the electrics. Apartment is brilliant mum
Thea and James
Some of the very best restaurants in Venice are all nearby, Corte Sconti one of the best, Al Covo a gem and Do Forni wonderful. Returning as I have been studying the culinary calendar and there is some interesting lagoon food available in October, our third visit to Piccola Perla
Judy and Paul
We had a wonderful stay in Piccola Perla. Thank you so much for the welcoming bottle and everything was just perfect! The weather was bright but very cold (compared to our home in Nice) and the festivities were great, wonderful markets etc. Thank goodness there wasn't too much commercialism - many of the restaurants don't decorate so it wasn't too overtly Christmas. We enjoyed a fantastic meal( and pianist) at The Metropole Hotel on Christmas Day. A really special occasion. I was woken up on Boxing Day to the sirens of Aqua Alta. A real adventure.

I've been singing the apartment's praises since my return... a great deal of effort has obviously gone into making a lovely homely place with attention to detail and a real feeling of quality.
In all my husband and I have been impressed a 100%. More than happy to contribute a glowing reference
