Description
Located just a few steps from Burano, to which it is connected by a pedestrian bridge, and not far from Torcello and Murano, this estate is one of the last intact testaments to the spiritual and architectural heritage of the Serenissima. Santa Caterina stands at the edge of the island, in a privileged and secluded position, nestled within a private park of over 4,000 sqm (43,055 sq ft) enclosed by ancient stone walls, once built to protect the monastery from the lagoon waters.
The main residence, spanning approximately 400 sqm (4,305 sq ft), offers evocative views of the lagoon and Venice, in a setting of absolute peace and harmony. The building, once the monastery gardener’s house, is an integral part of the 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, making it a timeless refuge waiting to be restored to its original beauty through a masterful renovation. Every corner of this property tells the story of a quiet, spiritual, and authentic Venice, reflected in its enduring charm, in a location like no other.
