Venissa Wine Resort

Large rooms, wonderful location. At this time of year, the island seemed like a Chris**as nativity scene. Kindness and disposition of the entire Venissa team. Perfect dinner and New Year’s Eve. Unforgettable vacation. Spectacular Services

My husband and I stayed at Venissa the last night of our 2-week vacation in Italy, I am STILL patting myself on the back for booking this wonderful hotel. It was just what we needed after 2 weeks of crowds in Rome, Florence and Venice. Venissa is so very special in every way...from the stellar service of the front desk, to the amazing breakfast, to the beautiful setting, to the INCREDIBLE restaurant (we had dinner there and it was a very memorable, special evening). 5 stars everywhere! Thank you for a wonderful experience! We will be back. Amy and Andy Barth, Los Angeles, CA

Great stay on the very peaceful island of Burano that is a short water bus ride from Venice. If you stay here, do yourself a favor and eat in the Osteria Restaurant and order the five course entree. It is a bit pricey but well worth it. They accommodated as vegetarians. They make their own wine from grapes grown on the property and the meal was complimented with 4 wine pairings that were very unique. We return there every year for a night or two

We had a delightful lunch on a warm Sunday in their beautiful space. The tasting menu was delicious. A multi course of locally sourced ingredients from in and around the Venetian Lagoon. There was no meat and frankly not missed. Some really clever tricks of textures and fermentation made up for that. Highly recommended.

Venissa is beyond 5 star ... I keep returning to this place away from the over touristed Venice city centre . From the excellent service , the fabulous restaurants , the unique wine produced in the walled garden to the beach on the Lido just two Vaporetto stops away , Venissa has it all. Venissa and it's sister property Casa Burano are so special . If you are a family I would recommend Casa Burano as there is more space for family members to hang out , and the 5 minute walk over to Venissa over a footbridge and into the secret garden makes breakfast special . Enrico and all staff are so helpful and knowledgeable and they make Venissa the most fabulous place to visit .

We learned about Venissa while doing some research about the neighboring island of Burano. Although we did not have a wine tasting booked, Luca graciously escorted us to the wine bar where he explained the history of the vineyard, the differences in the two wines that are produced and offered us a tasting. It was a wonderful little excursion and waling through the vineyard and garden was very pleasant as well. I would recommend booking a lunch or dinner at their restaurant as well.

Great location and interesting surroundings to get away from the hectic city for a bit. However, do not go "off-season" as almost all the activities you go there for (fine food, wine tasting) was unavailable. They should just close the hotel off season to avoid disappointing guests. The staff were unfailingly polite while not offering very much. All in all, there was a stingyness with this property and experience.

From start to finish, from the moment the water taxi docks right outside of Venissa's door, your dream vacation awaits! From the beautiful, large, clean and modern appointed rooms, to the fabulous restaurants, gorgeous grounds and wonderful experiences, your stay at Venissa will be a trip to remember, and to long to return to. We found out about this hidden gem thanks to Stanley Tucci's show Searching For Italy...and our stay here exceed our expectations in every way. While much quieter than the hustle and bustle of Venice, the peace and serenity of the island of Mazzorbo was such a pleasant surprise. An easy walk across the bridge at the end of the property brought you to shopping and other dining options on the island of Burano, and you could easily take a water taxi to other islands, but I would be content to stay at Venissa forever! Thank you to the staff for all that you did to make us feel so well taken care of.

We just called in here for a drink or two whilst waiting for the waterbus back to the mainland. The staff were really friendly, and the outdoor terrace area was a lovely place to sit. The wines were delicious (albeit very expensive), and it was nice to escape the crowds of Burano for something a little more relaxed.
