the secret:
A Hidden Gem of the Venetian Lagoon
The name Mazzorbo comes from Maggior Borgo, meaning "the most important village" in the lagoon. Once wealthy and powerful, it was even home to Giacomo Casanova! Today, only about 300 residents remain, preserving its quiet charm.

Mazzorbo is one of the most peaceful and dreamlike islands in the Venetian Lagoon. Linked to Burano by the Ponte Longo, it’s a quiet oasis of vineyards, canals, and marshland; so tranquil you might even wonder if you’re still in Venice at all. For a special experience, stop at Venissa, where fine dining meets local vineyards and unique wine tastings.
