Burano is a Venetian island full of colourful fisherman’s houses and quaint little shops. It is a short ferry trip away from Venice, but a world away in its aesthetic. The residents clearly take a lot of pride in their homes: every faccade (which originates from an Italian word - facciata -, by the way!) is uniquely decorated to suit the owner’s preferences. Burano is also much quieter than the mainland city, providing a perfect escape in the busy summer months.
