A JOURNEY THROUGH WATER, HISTORY AND TRUE BEAUTY

discover venice

Venice is much more than a destination: it’s an emotion that moves on water, a weave of art, silence and reflections. Forget the rush and let yourself be carried away: among narrow streets, islands, canals and hidden corners, every journey becomes a story. Discover it with us, from its most authentic point of view: that of the lagoon.

MURANO

THE FIRE THAT CREATES WONDER

A small island with a glowing heart, Murano is the homeland of artistic glass. Here, among the still-active furnaces, you can witness an art handed down for centuries: fire, breath, and the master’s hand give shape to unique creations, only seemingly fragile.

Murano is also quiet alleys, silent canals, authentic workshops and family stories that shine like glass itself. A place where craftsmanship becomes culture, and time seems to stand still.

BURANO

COLORS, LACEWORK, AND A LIGHTHEARTED SPIRIT

Burano is an island that smiles. Its brightly colored houses reflect on the water like a painter’s palette, creating fairytale views around every corner. But behind this chromatic harmony lies an ancient tradition: handmade lace, delicate as a whisper.

Walking through the alleys of Burano is an experience that delights both the eyes and the heart. Every window has a story, every courtyard a secret. It’s the perfect island for those in search of spontaneous beauty and authenticity.

TORCELLO

THE VENICE BEFORE VENICE

Torcello is the ancient face of the lagoon. A silent and almost uninhabited island where you can breathe in the original spirit of Venice. Here you’ll find the Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta with its splendid Byzantine mosaics, and the mysterious throne of Attila.

A place that invites slowness, reflection, and wonder. Torcello is perfect for those who love art that withstands time and wish to discover a spiritual, deeper side of Venice.

OTHER ISLANDS

SMALL WORLDS OF WATER AND WONDER

The Venetian lagoon is dotted with lesser-known islands, each full of charm:

  • San Francesco del Deserto: a monastery steeped in silence

  • Sant’Erasmo: the vegetable garden of Venice
  • Mazzorbo: peaceful and authentic, right next to Burano
  • La Certosa: green and contemplative

Places far from the tourist circuits, where time flows differently and the water tells different stories. Discover them with a private tour, far from the crowds.

THE BEACHES OF THE LAGOON

THE LIGHTER SIDE OF VENICE

When you think of Venice, you might not picture sand between your toes and the sound of waves crashing on the shore. Yet this too is part of its soul. The lagoon holds sunny seaside corners worth discovering: peaceful beaches, historic bathing spots, waterfront strolls and endless sunsets.

From Lido di Venezia, elegant and laid-back with its Art Nouveau villas and the Venice Film Festival, to Pellestrina, intimate and authentic, and Cavallino-Treporti, with its wide golden beaches nestled between sea and pine forest. Each one tells a different side of Venice, far from the crowds and close to nature.

Also reachable by water taxi, these destinations are perfect for those who want to combine culture and relaxation, art and sunshine, lagoon and freedom.
