🧭 Introduction
Just a short vaporetto ride from Murano or from Fondamenta Nove, Vignole island Venice is one of the greenest and most peaceful islands of the Venetian lagoon
Once a private garden island for Venetian nobles, today Vignole is a silent refuge of vineyards, orchards, vegetable farms, and lagoon wind.
No crowds.
No souvenir shops.
Just real Venice.
