An introduction to Casa Burano

What is the story behind Casa Burano, what was your inspiration to create it?

It started as a desire to recuperate some of the houses that had been left vacant on the island of Burano, which is famous for its colourfully painted buildings. Many of these were uninhabited and up for sale and, at the time, Burano didn’t have any sort of hospitality project, other than people visiting on day trips.

So in collaboration with local artisans and designers, the team from the Venissa hotel on neighbouring Mazzorbo acquired and refurbished five of these houses to create 13 rooms. Each has a slightly different interior concept but they have been renovated with the same philosophy and mindset. Through the project, not only have we recuperated spaces that would otherwise be left vacant but offered a new way of experiencing the Venetian Lagoon.

How would you describe the atmosphere and interior design of Casa Burano?

The atmosphere is extremely laid back. The interiors are minimal but with accents that would immediately remind you of where you are. The moment you step outside, your senses are invested in so much — the colour and life of Burano — so the interiors have been conceived to offer a sense of serenity and calm — a place to retreat to.

To you personally, what is so special about Casa Burano?

The houses provide a unique opportunity to dive into a world that is almost impossible to experience unless you spend a little time there. By staying at Casa Burano, you can truly take in the spirit of the island and be left with something very rich.

Casa Burano rooms & rates

Casa Burano comprises five houses that are located in different parts of the island. Burano is not very big and easily walkable, so while the houses are scattered around the island, they are not far from one another. All of the houses are about 10 minutes on foot from Venissa, our main hotel. So the two worlds are very interconnected.

A gourmet breakfast is served at Venissa every day and is included in the stay. Pre-Covid, we used to provide breakfast baskets for guests staying at Casa Burano but we feel it is a more complete and truer experience inviting them to have breakfast at Venissa. While there are no kitchens in the houses, there is a bar where you can help yourself to tea and coffee and a table for relaxing at.

We provide a boat service on request from the Alilaguna ferry wharf near Venice Marco Polo International Airport, with the journey to Burano taking around 20 minutes. We don’t provide a boat service from Venice but we can organise water taxis for guests or they can take the ferry.

Guests are also welcome to participate in all of the activities and experiences that are offered at Venissa, including guided tours of the islands, kayaking trips and wine tastings.

Wine tastings
Hiking

Sailing / Kayaking
Boat trips
Fishing

Depending on the season, most people stay for two or three days and will take a guided tour around the islands. Torcello is fascinating to visit and home to some of the oldest archaeological sites in the lagoon. It’s an opportunity to learn about the foundation of Venice and its Roman history, as well as see a church with mosaics that will blow your mind.

From Venissa, we also offer boat tours with a local fisherman called Domenico who will take you across the lagoon and explain not only the fishing traditions of the region but how things are changing due to environmental issues and climate change. You can rent rowboats and kayaks to explore at your leisure or learn about Burano’s lace-making traditions. Wine tastings led by our sommeliers are also offered at Venissa, including a tour of the vineyard. Of course, you can also explore Venice or spend a day at the beach of Cavallino, which is just 10 minutes by ferry from Burano.

The location of Casa Burano

Burano, Mazzorbo and Torcello are three islands that we refer to as “Native Venice” because historical sources show that these were the first islands to be inhabited in the lagoon. They are located in the northern part of the Venetian Lagoon in an area that is still largely untouched, with lots of wetlands and marshes that are protected. The culture here is still very much bound to agriculture, viticulture and the fisheries, as well as traditional arts and crafts.

Burano is 35 minutes by ferry from Venice — it’s a very straightforward ride from Fondamente Nove on line number 12. Otherwise, you can take a water taxi from near the Venice Santa Lucia railway station, which takes around 20 minutes.

The moment you arrive on Burano, it feels like a different world from Venice, so it’s interesting for people who have experienced the city before. It’s a slightly different reality but still very much a part of the lagoon’s culture. Around 2,500 people live on the island (plus a lot more who come to visit on day trips) and by staying on the island, you can experience its atmosphere early in the morning and late in the evening when it’s very charming.

Mazzorbo lies to the west and is where the Venissa hotel is located, with a wooden bridge linking the two islands. It is less populated than Burano and very green. Mazzorbo is still very agricultural and the Venissa estate, with its vineyard, vegetable gardens and restaurant, occupies a large part of the island. You can easily walk from the houses of Casa Burano to Venissa in 10 minutes and there are lots of restaurants on Burano serving cuisine that is true to the lagoon.

When is the best time to visit Veneto?

Springtime is absolutely fantastic as this is when the Venissa estate is coming back to life and early autumn is also nice because of the changing colours. In September and October, there are some ridiculously amazing sunsets over the lagoon!

The Venetian Lagoon is particularly known for its soft shell crabs, which are in season in April and October. You can not only taste them but see them being harvested on fishing tours, which is an art in itself. In summer, you have the best of all worlds when the beaches are at their best.
