Burano, in the Venetian Lagoon, Italy
If nearby Venice is too crowded and drab, make your way to Burano, a tightly packed collection of small islands in the Venetian Lagoon. Legend holds that all the houses were painted in varying, bright colors so that fishermen could pick out their homes even while out casting nets. Today, if you want to paint your villa in Burano, you send a request to the local government, which will reply with the color options available to you.
