With a surface of 550 sqkm the lagoon of Venice is the biggest of Europe and is characterized by several little islands, formerly occupied by ancient monasteries. Nowadays, when referring to "Venice islands" we hint at the 3 most celebrated islands of the lagoon: Murano, Burano, and Torcello. I'll pick you up wherever you please and we'll board your private water limousine, a luxury wooden boat, and sailing the lagoon we will reach Murano, since 1291 the center of Venice famous artistic glass. You'll see the glass masters at work (not just a demo) in one of the finest glass factory of Murano and you'll visit its galleries. We'll then proceed towards the colorful Burano: originally inhabited by fishermen, in the XVI century it became the heart of Venice' traditional lace craftsmanship. I'll take you to a lace shop run by one of the oldest family where grandma still hand stitches the designs created by her son. You may have lunch, or even a glass of wine, in Torcello or Mazzorbo and a quiet, nice stroll there.
- We'll start in the most convenient place to you. - We'll board your luxury boat. - We'll sail towards Murano to visit a glass factory where you'll be able to attend a phase of glass production and visit the gallery of the factory. - Then we'll sail to Burano with its colorful houses, its elegant laces and its amazing and tasty biscuits, the "buranei". You'll understand why that lace became so famous. . . (one of my favourite gelato place is in Burano, so you may want to try it). - If you want to have lunch I'd suggest a beautiful restaurant with a garden in Torcello (or Mazzorbo). Depending on the time left, and on the month of the year, we may reach the top of its bell tower (lots of steps) or we may sail along the island of the Lido. - Back to Venice to a place of your choice. P. S. If in summer, and if you're willing to extend the tour of one hour, I'd love to take you to have a drink on the beach of glamorous Hotel Excelsior, where Hollywood actors/tresses stay during the Venice Film Festival.
