Burano is a charming little island in the Venetian Lagoon known for its lacework but also for its small colorful houses. A couple of months ago we spent a lovely day on the island, enjoying an exquisite lunch - 3 hour long!!! - at
Il Gatto Nero, followed by a much needed walk through the canals, little bridges, and brightly colored houses. During our walk we discovered that designer Philippe Starck owns four houses on the island, a bigger one for him and his family (the redish/coral one in the pictures, about 3,800 sq.ft or 400 sq.m), and three smaller ones for his guests.

I guess the colorful scenery and the magical atmosphere make it the ideal place to relax and get inspired for an artist such as Starck. We actually thought of buying one ourselves, but ah too far from Miami. Well maybe one day :-)
For those of you interested, the small blue house below is about 800 Sq.ft (75 sq.m) on 3 levels and cost between 250,000 and 275,000 Euros ($355,000 - $390,000). Venice Airport is 10 minutes away by speed boat.
