San Giacomo in Palude

Abandoned for many years now, I wonder if maybe il Sindaco Brugnaro will let me buy it and fix it up.  Sassi Italy Tours World HQ in the lagoon?  Why not!

Mazzorbo Sunset

Burano’s slightly less traveled sister island is Mazzorbo.  It’s a lovely, quiet little sleeper you pass by on the vaporetto on the way to see the painted gems of Burano.   We can think of no better place to buy a quiet little estate when you win the lottery.

Linguine al Astice

The famous lobster linguine or spaghetti (depends on the night) at Osteria al Mascaron in Castello.  One of the best plates you’ll ever have, bar none.  A magical seafood flavor we love to pair with a Lugana.
