Venissa’s mission to preserve the natural beauty of the lagoon means that sustainability is at the core of its offering. This commitment was twice awarded by Condé Nast Johansens with the “Best for Green Practices and Sustainability” title.

Located on Mazzorbo Island, in the most untouched part of the Venetian Lagoon, Venissa is project of agricultural rejuvenation and sustainable hospitality with rooms, two restaurants and a niche, native wine production all set within a verdant and peaceful one-hectare estate surrounded by medieval walls. Venissa Wine Resort features five tastefully decorated rooms restored from the original manor house. Rooms have a scenic view of the garden and vineyard on one side, and the lagoon on the other. The sweet and savoury homemade breakfast – including buffet and à la carte options – is served every day in the spaces of the Osteria Contemporanea – the airy Cantinone or, in good weather, the scenic Sottoportico facing the garden and vineyard. Venissa offers a range of experiences for a true immersive experience in the atmosphere of the Venetian lagoon. These include tastings of its own Venissa and Venusa wines, guided tours of the islands and more. Our staff is at guests’ disposal to plan and make the most of their stay.

The two dining options on site include the Venetian-modern, convivial cuisine of the Osteria Contemporanea and the cucina ambientale of Ristorante Venissa (Michelin-Star and Green Michelin Star), where the native ingredients of the lagoon are creatively transformed into 7- or 9-course menus combining taste of place and environmental practices. For a quick bite or a relaxed aperitivo, Venissa’s waterfront bar is open daily from morning to evening with drinks and a selection of small plates from the Osteria’s kitchen.
