Burano is the most magical little fairy tale place we have ever visited! We were warmly welcomed. After we texted Ennio, he had his assistant Cinzia meet us as we came off the boat. She was watching for us and we saw her run ahead of us to open the house for us when we got to the door. Even though we didn't speak Italian, we "understood" her explanations about the house. It is hard to find words to describe this special, beautiful little "museum". The whole place is filled with decades of an artist's collection of artwork and artisan's craftwork that is absolutely intoxicating! Paintings, sculptures, relics, handmade furniture, maps, handmade glass, embroidery and gondolas! all crammed in this tiny 3 story house. It is an awesome experience to stay there! Steps away from the house are all the stores you could want for food and house goods. You have a long boat ride to Venice proper but its totally worth it!! It was wonderful to come home to Burano after a crazy crowded tourist day in Venice.
