"A bijou apartment with a secret courtyard"

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

Picture

Can you believe it is now thirteen years since my dream came true? Often I am asked why did you want to have an apartment in Venice? Well why not? The most exquisite city in the world. Art, history, architecture, a cafe society, Italy. What is not to like? Piccola Perla is secreted away in its own little courtyard yet within minutes you can be walking along the Riva degli Schiavoni, past the Doges Palace to St Mark's Square overlooking the lagoon to San Giorgio Maggiore.The area of San Antonin in Castello is a foodies paradise. From renowned restaurants to tiny bars. Our own patissierie on the Salizzada, perfect for breakfast or an evening spritz. Stroll past the Scuola San Giorgio degli Schiavoni, with its famous Carpaccio paintings, and there is a supermarket with a great deli counter. Only the chuch bells break the silence. No cars! Go to your destination on foot or water. Venetian's call 'Ciao bella', so friendly, and even the dogs hold their heads up high, often wearing very silly hats.
In the bleak month of February the city glitters at Carnival. Fantastical outfits, resplendent Balls and lots of fun.The area around the Arsenale and Giardini explodes with creativity  as the Art Biennale runs from May to November. In the summer you can jump on a vaporetto for a ten minute journey to the beaches on Lido. Constant music in many churches and the famed La Fenice Opera House. La Pieta Vivaldi's church is in our local Campo. It is almost too marvellous for words. That is why I love having an apartment here.
