The origins of Malamocco, a town in the Dogado district founded in ancient times under the name of Metamauco, are traced back by historiography to the year 640, when the bishop of Padua, fleeing from the Lombard invasion, is said to have moved to the far edge of the lagoon. Similarly today, without the danger of barbarian invasions, people seek refuge and peace in the ancient village of Malamocco, the pearl and pride of the island of Lido di Venezia. It is a privilege to own a piece of history older than Venice itself, where the beauty of the buildings and streets is on a par with the most authentic sights of Venice. The subtle and exciting drawings of Hugo Pratt also re-emerge with his Corto Maltese, who used to go to lunch at the Osteria da Scarso, still in business today, after his thousand adventures.
The property we are offering is an incredible fragment of history, located in the so-called Rio Terà, the main pedestrian artery of Malamocco. It extends from the ground floor to the third floor with an attic above the third floor. It is rare to find such a unique property on the market, ideal for discerning enthusiasts and collectors of rarities.
The Lido di Venezia is a favourite seaside resort for both Venetians and tourists from Italy and around the world, appreciated for its crystal clear waters and beautiful beaches. The Art Nouveau style still characterises the entire island, accompanied by a “belle epoque” atmosphere that reaches its peak at the end of summer thanks to the famous Film Festival. The Lido is easily accessible in a few minutes by various public water transport lines, and the entire island can be explored by car, which can be transported thanks to the public ferry service connecting it to the mainland.
The property is located in an authentic area that is still largely untouched by mass tourism, in the southern part of the island of Lido. It is an ideal area for lovers of uncrowded and unspoilt beaches. The small beach of Malamocco is a little gem overlooking the sea where you can relax, sunbathe and take a refreshing dip.
