"Situated next to the ruins of the old castle and the small church of San Michele, this 13C building, thought to have once housed a guardroom, is now home to a small restaurant serving regional, seasonal cuisine with a modern twist. During the week, the restaurant offers a lunchtime menu of top-quality snacks (the Venetian “cicchetti”), as well as a few “primi” and desserts." - Michelin Inspector

"On the premises, this restaurant sources most of its food from the surrounding farm, where vegetables are planted among olive groves for oil and vineyards producing red, white, and rosé prosecco. All the vegetables come from the gardens, making for delicious seasonal fare—something as simple as a mixed green salad is transformed into a special event. What isn’t grown on site—namely the meat and cheese—comes from hyper-local suppliers, while the pasta is, naturally, homemade." - Zoe Dubno

Breathtaking & Bizzare 💖👌 Hauntingly beautiful, yet positivley malarial! Went with boyfriend to have a beautiful morning stroll, but a swarm of mosquitos made sure it turned out to be a pestilence of biblical proportions I had to eat an antihistamine medicine after that Besides that, i loved it! Musky corpse smell mixed with floral sents filled my lungs and filled me with awe! This is the most beautiful cemetery in the world (despite mosquitos) according to me, an established google reviewer

If you like visiting historical cemeteries, this is the place to check out. Make sure to be at the front of the vaporetto to get off quickly at the dock. Like NYC subways, they didn't wait for us to get off the first time around with a big crowd by the exit, and we had to make a second trip to get back. Bring a mosquito repellent. For some reason I got bitten more there than everywhere else in Venice. Once there, it's a treasure hunt - Stravinsky and his wife, Diaghilev, Ezra Pound and his partner, Doppler, sections for the military, the clergy, babies, osorium, etc. If you like to visit the chapel, check the hours before you go. It's open only at certain times.

This island is so incredibly beautiful to witness from afar and when you are on it. The trees towering over the walls is a remarkable sight.

An interesting place to visit. A large well maintained cemetery that is several centuries old. There are signs to Stravinsky's grave. The facade of the large building that you can usually see from the Venice side is the only presentable side of the building. The rest of the place looks rough. Gardens are well cared for and it's still an active cemetery. Still worth a 30 minute visit. Easiest way to get here from Ferrovia, the train station stop, is to take a direct ACTV water bus line 3 to Murano and then catch line 4.1. here.

It's the first Renaissance church in Venice, also a cemetery. You will see its beautiful side-face from Murano - the famous glass making island. There is no tour operating for this island, but you can visit it with Venice daily pass.

Beautiful and massive cemetery. You could walk around for hours - I spent ages looking for my relatives. It was a lovely and peaceful break from the very busy streets of Venice.

Too many people, you need to squeeze through a crowd to get anywhere. When we were there, about a week ago, the weather was supposed to be really windy and cold, but instead it was extremely hot, so come prepared with a bonus outfit incase it's the same weather let down.

It's a giant cemetery, so it's good if you like that sort of thing.
