My wife and I stumbled upon Stefano's store in Venice. We fell in love with a beautiful lamp shade…read morebut did not want to travel with it. When we got back to Florida (USA), I emailed Stefano and discovered the same lamp shade we saw at his store was still available. Stefano set up the payment and shipping via email and before we knew it a piece of art from Venice Italy was at our door step. I wish everything was this easy. Thank you Stefano for the beautiful glass work and for making it all so easy. I hope to purchase more work in the near future. Kevin & Nathaly

Wonderful shop, small and hidden but worth the hunt. Very honest and true murano glass without the…read morehassle of the factory tour and crowds, central Venice. Highly recommend checking in with Stephan

This is a fun shop. Full of things you never knew you (don't) need. Kitchen and bathroom gadgets,…read morebrushes, cell-phone holders, fans, cups, bottles, watches, soap dispensers, aprons, kitchen timers, pens, hooks, glasses cases, bags, champagne glasses... The list goes on and on. You really need some time to dig through the products. And even you think you don't need any of these items, you're wrong. You will probably walk out with something. It's just a fun shop. And so colourful, it looks like a rainbow exploded in here. Staff is very nice, lets customers take their time without pushing. In the end we bought some items too. Two cellphone holders and some pens. Nothing we really needed, but needed them anyways. A fun store - worth checking out.

This store is stacked with unique items I have never seen anywhere else. Many colorful and fun…read moreitems to buy for yourself, or bring home as a gift. In a city that has cart after cart of typical tourist trinkets, this store is very different. Enjoy!

Just a delightful day & experience. We stayed right nearby, which was a treat in itself, but loved…read moreseeing the entire collection & home. I do think 7 dollars pp for the headset is asking a bit too much following a fairly generous admission fee. If you purchase tickets for after something like 3:30 pm, you can enter at any time after that until last entry, so that was nice. Free small lockers for your jackets. They will not allow or hold luggage, I mention this because we wanted to visit before our Airbnb was ready, but unfortunately did not see that nearby there were luggage storage places. We could have used our wasted waiting time better. While I am not a huge fan of modern art, it was so nice to see the inside & terrace/dock of the estate and learn about her dear daughter, Pegeen, who passed away prematurely. I loved the little story about the statue with the detachable phallus that inevitably needed to be soldered on after being stolen many times. A stunning & tranquil corner of Venice.

Mega over-crowded! We bought tickets online because it may "sell out". I don't think they would…read moreever sell out-seems packing hundreds of people into very small rooms and hallways was just fine. Large student groups of uninterested kids and bougie aficionados with no self-awareness abound. Not sure if the art or people watching was more insufferable. We spent about 20 min inside before we bailed. Also, 90% of the art looks like what second graders produce and parents would hang on a fridge. Want to see art? Walk thru any of the art galleries with photography and oil paintings for sale-far better plan. Not sure how this gets nearly 5 stars. During the very busy season this place must be even more insane. How about limit the crowds, especially for those with the foresight to pre-purchase tickets to avoid what we experienced.

we stayed in the Campo del Ghetto Nuovo area of venice in the north west corner of the city. its a…read moregreat neighborhood! less tourists and more venetians which struck our fancy big time. while walking around one morning on our way to the neighborhood bakery we passed this little jewelry store. i went bonkers over the stuff in the window but it was closed, so onward we went. i went back to check if it opened three more times before we left. luckily i caught them on our last day. (there is a lot of flooding in venice when the tides are high during fall and winter. this place had been hit and the hours were spotty due to clean up inside--all part of the venice experience!) so, i finally got inside and it was all i could do to not go insane and crash my credit card. its full of not only jewelry but rugs and decretive housewares that i cant even remember since i was in "magpie mode".....oooooo shiny! lots of his pieces come from the middle east--venice has a long and integrated history with trade and influence with the middle east, check out the architecture. especially the windows--i bought my mom a beautiful silver and lapis neckless from afghanistan and myself an antique ring from.....well, i cant really remember where. its very venetian style so my brain chose to get lost in the sparkly bits and not take it off my finger. they have tons of new jewelry too and a lot of carnivale style pieces, over the top and understated. and lots of classic venetian style pieces. i wish i could have spent more time (and money) there, but, i had a hungry boyfriend to attend too and they had wet floors to attend too. it was a VERY venetian experience that i would not hesitate to repeat. next time you are in venice and your jonesing for a bit of shine (or a beautiful rug or a magnificent glass lantern) find your way to shiraz.
