We spent the most amazing long weekend at the Venissa Hotel, Mazzorbo. The rooms are elegant, comfortable and immaculately clean. The staff are wonderful and the restaurant is just fantastic. Everything we ate, breakfasts and dinner, fantastic. Mazzorbo is such a lovely tranquil place. A short work over the bridge and you are in Burano, fantastic for a stroll, some... More

We have just returned from staying here for two nights as part of a party of nine to celebrate a birthday and can really only say Wow Wow Wow. Everything was perfect. Paola and Franco did everything they possibly could to make sure our stay was the best it could possibly be. The surroundings are inspirational with manicured lawn, lavender,... More

This was a very different experience to central Venice. The beautifully tranquil, verdant island of Mazzorbo is home to the Venissa estate, a walled vineyard that holds a chic hostel and 'destination' restaurant. We stayed in the 'certosa' room - 2nd floor in the eves with a beautiful view overlooking the canal. The Vaporetto stop is only a hundred yards... More

What a beautiful place to stay! I'm female in my mid-twenties and visited with my mum. The island setting is so peaceful - perfect to relax in between trips into busy Venice. The hotel & restaurant are set in a vineyard, and is conveniently only a few steps from the vaporetto stop that will take you into Venice. The island... More

We found the Venissa based on a recommendation in the Decanter wine magazin. it was rates highly, however, our expectations were exceeded. We stayed there from May 10th to May 13th 2012 and it was a wonderful experience. It is not cheap but you get what you pay for.

We spent a spendid weekend at Venissa last April. We only stayed overnight for one night while waiting for our apartment rental, but have dreamed since then of returning. The room was lovely with a view of the canal, and great appointments. The restaurant was closed for the evening beasue of a special party, but Paola, the chef, graciously offered... More

A hidden gem in the calm of the lagoon away from the crowds of San Marco. A relaxing environment and laid back service a gentle 35 minute boat ride from Venice and a 5 minute walk from Burano over the old wooden bridge. The garden and vineyard offer a perfect environment to relax and unlike any other. The restaurant is... More

We stayed at the Venissa for two nights. Our experience could not have been better. The room was huge and very charming. Modern without being sterile. The staff was very gracious and helpful. The grounds, which are a vineyard and farm, were gorgeous. Every time we looked out the window, the changing light made the view even more wonderful. The... More
