La Piccola Casa "The Little House" Lic. # 0446

Every house has a story but few are as iconic as La Piccola Casa. Built in early 1900, La Piccola has had a diverse journey. This lovely Victorian lady spent her early years as a Pacific Grove residence before becoming La Piccola Pizzeria & Coffee Shop in 2005. After years of serving thousands of guests, La Piccola has taken on a new life. Lovingly restored by restaurateurs, Joe & Laurie Rombi, she has returned to her roots as a residence while still retaining memories of her culinary past.

Short walk to the Lodge at Pebble Beach

The cottage is bright and cozy with its wood beams, wood floors and many windows. On sunny days enjoy the rays of sunshine coming through the windows, open the bedroom french doors and relax with a book and a glass of wine on the private, quiet terrace and let the world go by or sit by the french limestone fountain and listen to the soothing sound of water. In the evening or on rainy days, lounge in the living room area by a cozy fireplace and enjoy the peacefulness of your home away from home.
