On an unspoiled island in the heart of the Venetian lagoon, an
extraordinary historic villa with origins from the 12th century, with a
beautiful private park of over 4000mq. Santa Caterina stands at the edge
of the island, in a privileged and secluded position, enclosed by
ancient stone walls. The main residence offers evocative views of the
lagoon and Venice, in a setting of absolute peace and harmony. Located
just a few steps from Burano, to which it is connected by a pedestrian
bridge, and not far from Torcello and Murano, it is the perfect escapist
dream, yet close to everything.
The building, once the monastery gardener’s house, is an integral
part of a monastic complex dating back to the 12th century. Its origins
are documented by historical and cartographic sources from the 18th
century, which clearly describe its role within the convent′s vegetable
garden, along with the presence of the cavana, a typical lagoon
structure used for boat storage.
The uniqueness of Santa Caterina lies in its history and
architecture, a large solid house which could be kept as is or converted
into a stunning contemporary villa.
