I stumbled across this shop on a trip to Burano with my Mum and it was such a great find. Mum got some scarves and I bought the funkiest sunglasses and a necklace/earring set which was even altered to the length I was after. The owner is so friendly (speaks brilliant English and French I heard) and so accommodating. Genuinely was a pleasure. If only the sun was lasting longer in the UK for me to wear my sunglasses!! Many thanks again.

When visiting Burano you find a lot of the lace places, but not so many jewellery places. This shop owned by a married couple who both make items in their shop. There is a lot to look at and to choose from - I went for a Murano glass necklace infused with a gold leaf, plus a set of 2 drop glass earrings with glitter in side them. This was something new they were trialling and I hope they have continued to make these as they are lovely. If you want something not as expensive as if you were in Murano, come here to Burano and buy items cheaper but still of a high quality. They are all one of a kind, each piece is little different.

Just 40 minutes from Venice, Burano is one of the most characteristic islands of the lagoon. Famous for its colorful houses, lace making and local fish cuisine

Burano is like the baby sister of Murano, with plenty of opportunity to buy the fantastic murano glass, but Burano, is actually more famous for it's lace making and products. There are women dotted around the shops demonstrating their lace making skills, and plenty of small lace items to buy a piece of this artwork. The buildings and architecture on this island are really colourful (purportedly the fishermen painted their houses bright colours to find their way home in the frequent fogs that cover the Islands). The maze of brightly painted homes are a delight to wander around and between the shop lined streets are plenty of restaurants, bars and bistros to enjoy a break and refreshments. I recommend the ice-cream parlours!! Can't leave Italy without trying the ice-cream. The frequency of the water buses between Burano, Murano and the main islands of Venice is good, right into the early hours of the morning, and very reasonably priced to make a complete day of island hopping cheaply and easily.

The Matriarch running this family store - now five generations - is a remarkable energetic elderly lady. Her passion, knowledge, and creativity is simply fabulous. She shares her expertise with you to the extent you wish to learn. One can see how the different laces are made, and there is a museum collection to gain knowledge over lace history for hundreds of years. Their lace products from young children’s clothes to place mats are beautifully hand-embroidered. If you enjoy meeting wonderful and kind people that love what they do, then this store will put a big smile on your face and make your day great! Craig Brown

This lovely shop is on the walkway from the vaporetto to the main canal leading to the shops and restaurants of Burano. We saw some lovely things in the store as we arrived and made time before leaving the island to circle back. We spied a lovely cashmere poncho with a neck lined in fur (faux I believe). It was elegant and just perfect for an evening out. We purchased it and the matching furry cuffs. A one of a kind piece back home in California.

"I tre Ponti" is one of the most beloved places by tourists visiting Burano. Because? Because it offers simultaneously an incredible panoramic on three of the most colorful banks of the island. A photography enthusiast can't miss the opportunity to take its own photos of the colorful houses , remaining suspended over the water .

Burano as a whole was a fine experience, much more interesting and welcoming that Murano, and the ladies at this boutique were quite marvelous. I was welcomed in the little upstairs family museum and had a chance to feel the exquisite quality of the contemporary linens. Lux! Lots of interesting information graciously told in family story. Well worth walking a bit farther to meet these ladies. Thanks for a lovely experience.
