L'albero Venezia — Local services in Venice

I have been to Venice many times but this past trip I happened to pass this little shop near the aqua alta bookstore. They had unique and beautiful creations. So much of the glass on Venice is not really made on Murano anymore but this was very obviously made LOCALLY. I stepped inside and was greeted by the wife of the owner who asked if I would be interested in a class. I signed up and WHAT A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE! It was so relaxing and informative. The choice of materials was incredibly large and the owners were cheerful and patient with a great sense of humor. The price was very reasonable for a piece that will be a wonderful memory for years to come. I HIGHLY...

This is a charming artisan boutique, which in Venice is sadly rarified. The designs exhibit a clear stylistic expression dissimilar to the mountains of identical Murano glass available in every second shop. The experience of shopping could not be more comfortable, with no pressure to buy now, rather gentle encouragement to enjoy exploring as they know you will inevitably return. It's easy to walk past, so hopefully this guides...

This really special Murano glass jewelry shop was around the corner from our Airbnb, and we’re so grateful to have come across it! Buying Murano glass can be intimidating with so much that is imported/fake and it was great to find genuine, beautiful millefiori glass jewelry made by the owners/glass artists. They were very kind and patient with me as I had trouble making a decision and wanted to buy everything...
