Russian buyers show the greatest interest in the acquisition of the island of Venice

The island of 2500 sq.m. in the Venetian lagoon is  for sale for € 8 million. In the 16th century in the Lagoon there were built five octagonal military islands to protect Venice from attack from the sea. Island L'Ottagono agli Alberoni  until the Second World War remained a military base, after the war was bought by a private buyer, and now put up for sale by his heirs.

From the island, and in particular from the terrace of a big house (100 square meters) offers great views of the lagoon, the island is located near the channel Malamocco not far from Lido island  (about 35 minutes on vaporetto).
