CA'Burano
Among Burano's kaleidoscope of colors, CA' Burano stands as a modern yet soulful expression of Venetian island living. This boutique accommodation redefines the concept of a stay in Venice's lagoon: where modern design, local craftsmanship, and historic authenticity blend together in harmony.
CA' Burano reflects the very soul of Burano: radiant facades mirrored in water, serene mornings, and the rhythm of the day on the island. It doesn't just provide its guests with a room but offers an experience right inside one of the world's most beautiful and culturally interesting islands.
Location: The Heart of the Magic of Burano
CA' Burano is situated at Strada di Corte Comare, 262, 30142 Venezia VE, right in the very centre of Burano. From its doorstep, guests can step directly into the island's vivid world - where fishermen's houses are painted in every imaginable hue, narrow canals wind between bridges, and local artisans continue the centuries-old tradition of lace-making.
Burano is about 40 minutes from central Venice, reached by vaporetto from Fondamente Nove. The journey itself forms part of the experience: crossing the silent lagoon, passing through the islands of Murano and Torcello. Once on Burano, the position of CA' Burano provides direct access to the island's main attractions:
Piazza Baldassarre Galuppi, the island’s lively square.
The Lace Museum, preserver of Burano's ancient, handmade lace industry.
Charming restaurants serving fresh seafood risotto and local wines.
The multicoloured canals, perfect for photography and tranquil strolls.
The setting ensures that guests are at the heart of the island, yet wrapped in tranquillity, away from the tourist-heavy bustle of Venice proper.
Concept and Atmosphere – Tradition Meets Design
CA' Burano is more than accommodation; it is a living design project thanks to Venissa, the local group behind its conception, that skillfully blends modern architecture with the spirit of Venice. Each apartment in Ca' Burano has been painstakingly restored from old fishermen's houses and maintains the spirit of the island while introducing modern comfort and aesthetics.
Inside, the design is resolutely minimalist: clean lines, soft lighting, and the refined employment of local materials such as Murano glass, Venetian plaster, and wood beams. These blend harmoniously with bespoke furnishings and subtle touches of color borrowed from the surrounding houses.
The result is an intimate, inviting interior that feels at once luxurious and authentic. Every detail-from the textures to the scents-celebrates Venetian craftsmanship and the timeless rhythm of island life.

Culinary Connection – The Venissa Experience
A stay at CA' Burano is deeply intertwined with the Venissa Wine Resort, on the nearby Mazzorbo Island, which is just a short walk across the bridge. The famous Venissa, home to the Michelin-starred restaurant and walled vineyard, extends its philosophy of sustainable luxury to CA' Burano.
Guests can dine at Venissa’s restaurant, where chefs reinterpret Venetian lagoon cuisine, incorporating seafood fresh from the lagoon, vegetables from estate gardens, and wine produced from the Dorona di Venezia grape grown nowhere else than here on site.
The connection does provide a holistic Venetian experience: design, cuisine, and culture all under the same vision of authenticity and excellence.
Exploring the islands: beyond Burano
From CA' Burano you can easily venture into lagoon excursions. The regular vaporetto lines connect to:
Murano has a long tradition of glassmaking.
Torcello, with its ancient basilicas and peaceful marshland walks.
Venice-for iconic landmarks like St. Mark's Basilica, the Doge's Palace, and Rialto Bridge.
Yet many visitors find that Burano itself — with its vibrant colours, lace shops and quiet canals — becomes the most cherished destination of all.
Sustainability and Authenticity
CA' Burano pioneers sustainability: every restoration intervention has been made with eco-friendly materials and energy-saving systems. The idea is to preserve the fragile architectural heritage of Burano while encouraging responsible tourism, which primarily benefits the local community.
Guests contribute directly to this vision: by staying here, they help to sustain Burano's unique cultural identity and contribute to the revival of local craftsmanship.
