Venissa

Owned by a family of winemakers from the Veneto, and set in a historic walled vineyard on Mazzorbo Island, Venissa has had a grape start in life. Vines still flourish today; this is one of the few places in the world where you can try the rare and ancient dorona di Venezia grape variety, rescued from the brink of oblivion by the team behind the hotel. There’s more to Venissa than liquid lures, though: a Michelin-starred restaurant run by Francesco Brutto, named Italy's best young chef in 2016 and 2017, plus five relaxed rooms that overlook the lagoon or survey the vineyard. Venice is just a 50-minute boat trip away, but you won’t hear a peep from the City of Sighs at this gaff.

Venissa is on the island of Mazzorbo, in the northern Venetian Lagoon, a 50-minute boat ride from Venice. Mazzorbo is connected to Burano by a bridge.

Room Types

Comfort

The guestrooms on Mazzorbo share the quiet walled vineyard with Il Ristorante and Osteria Contemporanea. These rooms were built when the manor was redesigned by its former residents, the Venetian Scarpa Volo family. Each Comfort room measures 15sq m and has a queen-size bed; decorations vary from room to room, but you can expect exposed beam ceilings, hardwood floors, objets d’art and striking furniture. The bathroom has robes, hairdryers and a vanity set. Each room also comes with free WiFi, a minibar, safe and air-conditioning. These rooms sleep up to two adults and one child (an additional bed can be provided on request).

Suite

These suites were built when the manor was redesigned by its former residents, the Venetian Scarpa Volo family. They’re set within the walled vineyard, also home to Il Ristorante and Osteria Contemporanea. There are two to pick from: the Yellow Suite, which overlooks the canal and the Red Suite, which spies on the grapes. Each Suite measures 25sq m and has a queen-size bed; decorations vary from room to room, but you can expect exposed beam ceilings, hardwood floors, objets d’art and striking furniture. The bathroom has robes, hairdryers and a vanity set. Each Suite also comes with free WiFi, a minibar, safe and air-conditioning. These rooms sleep up to two adults and two children (additional beds can be provided on request).
