Reaching Pellestrina by car



• Reaching Pellestrina from Venice / Piazzale Roma

Whichever direction you arrive from, all directions for Venice lead to Piazzale Roma (the furthest point that can be reached by car).
Once in Piazzale Roma, park the car in one of the many pay parking areas and then take one of the Vaporettos (water boats) that head to the Lido S. Maria Elisabetta stop (very frequent).
Get off at the Lido S. Maria Elisabetta stop and take the ACTV no. 11 bus. Continue to remain on the bus, as it boards the ferry and travels around the entire island of Pellestrina.
Get off at the "Scuole" stop.

• Reaching Pellestrina from Venice / Tronchetto

Compared to Piazzale Roma, a less-expensive alternative is to park in the Parcheggio del Tronchetto located on the right after crossing the long bridge that connects the mainland to Venice, approximately 500 metres before Piazzale Roma.
From Tronchetto take one of the Vaporettos (water boats) to the Lido S. Maria Elisabetta stop. Get off at the Lido S. Maria Elisabetta stop and take the ACTV no. 11 bus. Continue to remain on the bus, as it boards the ferry and travels around the entire island of Pellestrina.
Get off at the "Scuole" stop.
Alternatively, from Tronchetto you can take the Ferry boat, but this arrives at the Lido S.Nicolò stop, approximately 500 metres from Lido S.Maria Elisabetta from where the ACTV no. 11 bus leaves.

• Reaching Pellestrina from Chioggia

If travelling by car, you can park in the multi-storey car park and several outdoor parking areas located in Chioggia at via Isola Saloni.
On foot reach the station at Piazzetta Vigo where the no. 11 Vaporetto (water boat) to Pellestrina/Cimitero leaves.
The Venetia Domus building is located approximately 300 metres from the Vaporetto (water boat) stop and is easy to reach on foot.
It is also possible to take the no. 11 bus that connects with the Vaporetto (water boat) and which goes as far as Lido di Venezia. Get off at the second stop (Scuole)

Reaching Pellestrina by car

Nicolò stop. By car: drive through the island to the Alberoni and board a second Ferry boat that connects the Lido of Venice with the Island of Pellestrina.

Train

For those arriving by train, the Vaporetto (water boat) stop is located just outside the train station of Saint Lucia.

The architect Alessandro Scarpa of Venice is the author of the new restoration project aimed at developing the property into prestigious residential homes. This intelligent design project reconciles preservation of the estate’s historical features and its usability by recovering sections of the spacious corridors with their vaulted ceilings and porthole-style windows, and restoring visual integrity to the original ancient facade, ensuring the features of the two construction eras (1700 and 1900) are clearly and consistently displayed.




Respecting the building’s history to restore its prestige

The project, which has an inflexible approach towards the preservation of the old structure without damaging the outer walls, the spine walls and dividing walls and towards compliance of the lighting/surface ratios without moving, enlarging or creating new windows, is able to transform the ancient friars’ cells into 35 prestigious residential apartments with their relative bathrooms, kitchens and private entrances.

The "reversible" walls will be made of wood and glass panels and pressure fixed to the side walls in correspondence to the round arch so as not to damage the vaulted arches of the ceiling.

Design solution

The Venetian well, the heart of the garden, is still in operation.

On the first floor of the 18th century estate, in the middle of the beautiful inner garden, stands a typical Venetian well with its respective well puteal that provides its visual core.
The well consists of a natural drainage system. This system filters water collected in a tank, which is positioned below, but elevated with respect to the sea aquifer, in order to prevent contamination between fresh and salt waters.

The well is an emblem of the method the Venetians developed to store, filter, and therefore use rainwater as drinking water, the latter was generally transported from the mainland to the Lagoon.

In order to access the apartments on the first floor and to provide them with more light, the ancient windows, today partly bricked, will be re-opened.

Once a Monastery, then a hotel, a beach resort, a boarding school and a military command structure. Reading in the building all its history.

In order to restore the original appearance and integrity of the ancient facades, both on the inside and the outside of the building, the doors and windows, which over time had been closed, were completely mapped so that they could be re-opened, and enhanced in harmony with the rest of the estate. The restoration of recesses, pilasters and other characteristic features and qualifying elements are also included in the mapping.

The island of Pellestrina, together with the Lido, form a natural barrier that separates the lagoon from the sea to the west. The two islands are located in the north-south direction, between the port inlets of Lido to the north and of Chioggia to the south, with at the centre the port inlet of Malamocco, which is considered to be the main access point to Venice.
