Location and Ambiance
Carmen Garden B&B is situated on Fondamenta Pontinello Destra, 481, 30142 Venezia VE, Italy, and lies in one of the most enchanting corners of Burano. Its property faces quiet canals lined with pastel-colored houses; once, fishermen used to paint the homes here in bright colors so they could see them from the lagoon.
Its proximity to Venice's northern islands makes it an ideal base in which to explore. Guests going to Burano can easily do so by vaporetto, or water bus, from Venice's Fondamente Nove station or via neighbouring Mazzorbo Island, to which it is connected by a wooden bridge.
This area is serene: the sound of lapping water, the scent of the lagoon, and the slow rhythm of island life invite guests to unwind completely. The famous lace shops, art galleries, and waterfront restaurants of Burano are only a short walk away-a perfect mixture of leisure and culture.
