My husband and I just returned from a wonderful stay in Venice. The Piccolo Vecellio is about a 15 minute walk from St. Mark's Square and the Rialto, and being just a bit off the beaten path made a huge difference in our experience in Venice. We loved staying in an area that felt like a real neighborhood as opposed to a tourist Disneyland, though it still had plenty of great nooks and crannies to explore (as well as some more "local" restaurants). The location is also convenient - just two stops by water bus from the airport.

We found Beata to be an impeccable and charming hostess; having breakfast with her in the mornings was always a highlight, and she is full of helpful advice and entertaining stories.

If you prefer lodging with a personal touch and like seeing a city from a local's perspective, the Piccolo Vecellio is for you.

The Piccolo guest house was a very pleasant place to stay. It is a short walk from the Hotel Vecellio and is in a restored house and very nicely decorated! Our room on the first floor was a pretty good size compared to others we've stayed in. Beata is a wonderful host and provides good advice on what to see and where to eat.

We found the guest house very clean and comfortable. It has recently been restored and refurbished, so everything is new but in keeping with the venetian style. It is situated in a very peaceful part of Venice, we had our window open at night and there was complete silence until morning when the church bells started ringing (an experience not to miss!), this added to the magic of Venice.
Matteo and Beata were very friendly and so helpful, they made our stay so pleasurable. We hope to return to Venice again some day and would not hesitate to stay here again. We can highly recommend it!

This guest house is awesome, Beate is so nice with you, the room is real venisian style, not so far from San Marco (10 mn by walk). The breakfast is ok to start a good day !!!
