We took a tour to this island, shame we didnt take a picnic it was so peaceful here not much to do or see just relax would be nice to stay here for a night. More

Great visit. Not far from Murano. Visited church on the island. Rude staff at payment desk who have poor English, or pretend to have. Left a bad taste in my visit to Torchello. More

Its worth going as part of a tour of some of the other islands. It more quiet, peaceful and less touristy than proper Venice, Murano or Burano so if that's something you're looking for its totally worth the trip. More
