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.
Located in the heart of Venice, this listing offers unparalleled access to iconic landmarks and luxurious amenities. Within minutes, reach St. Mark’s Basilica, the Rialto Bridge, and exclusive dining options. Convenient access to Venice Marco Polo Airport and Santa Lucia Train Station ensures seamless connectivity. Enjoy the vibrant cultural scene and exquisite Venetian lifestyle just steps from your door.
