Venetia is a gated, deed-restricted residential community in Venice, Florida 34293 offering single-family homes, maintenance-free villas and condominiums within an established Mediterranean-inspired setting. Located near Jacaranda Boulevard and U.S. 41/Tamiami Trail, Venetia combines mature landscaping, lakes, natural preserves and an extensive recreational amenity package with convenient access to Gulf beaches, shopping, restaurants, healthcare and both Historic Downtown Venice and Wellen Park.
Spread across more than 300 acres, Venetia is divided into four distinct residential components: the single-family neighborhood, Villa Vivaci, Villa Paradiso and Casa DiAmici. Each offers a somewhat different ownership and maintenance arrangement, making it especially important for buyers to understand which section a property belongs to when comparing homes, association fees and included services.
Homes, Villas & Condos in Venetia
Venetia was developed primarily during the early and mid-2000s and offers one of the broader combinations of property types among established gated communities in southern Venice.
Buyers may find:
- Single-family homes
- Maintenance-free attached villas
- First- and second-floor condominiums
- Two-, three- and four-bedroom floor plans
- Two- and three-car garages on select single-family homes
- One-car garages with many Casa DiAmici condos
- Private swimming pools on select residences
- Screened lanais and outdoor living areas
- Lake, pond and preserve views
- Tile roofs and Mediterranean-inspired architecture
- Updated kitchens, bathrooms and hurricane protection on select properties
Because Venetia includes several different property types and was developed over multiple phases, home sizes, maintenance responsibilities, association fees and included services vary considerably throughout the community.
Venetia Single-Family Homes
The single-family portion of Venetia, commonly associated with Venetia Neighborhood One, contains the community’s detached residences. These homes generally offer more private outdoor space and greater responsibility for individual property maintenance than the villa and condominium sections.
Single-family homes range from more modest three-bedroom residences to substantially larger homes approaching or exceeding 3,000 square feet. Depending on the property, buyers may find private swimming pools, two- or three-car garages, expansive screened lanais and lake or preserve views.
Owners in the single-family section generally maintain their own residence and homesite while also contributing to the master association and neighborhood association.
Villa Vivaci
Villa Vivaci contains 66 maintenance-free villa residences within Venetia. These homes appeal to buyers who prefer detached or villa-style living with more exterior maintenance handled through the association.
Villa Vivaci has its own private neighborhood swimming pool in addition to access to Venetia’s main clubhouse, resort-style pool, fitness center and recreational amenities.
Association fees and maintenance responsibilities differ from those of the single-family neighborhood, so buyers should review the current Villa Vivaci and master association budgets and governing documents before purchasing.
Villa Paradiso
Villa Paradiso is another maintenance-free villa neighborhood within Venetia and contains 42 residences. Homes typically offer two bedrooms, two bathrooms, attached garages and screened outdoor living areas, although individual properties and renovations vary.
Villa Paradiso residents have access to Venetia’s master amenities and also share an additional neighborhood swimming pool with Casa DiAmici.
Maintenance services and fees should be confirmed for the specific residence because Villa Paradiso operates under its own association in addition to the Venetia master association.
Casa DiAmici Condos
Casa DiAmici consists of 160 condominium residences arranged in two-story buildings within Venetia. Many units offer three bedrooms, two bathrooms, screened lanais and detached one-car garages.
First-floor and second-floor residences are available, and many units overlook landscaped areas, ponds or preserves. Casa DiAmici residents share a neighborhood swimming pool with Villa Paradiso while also enjoying the main Venetia recreational amenities.
Condominium ownership includes a separate association structure that may cover items such as exterior building maintenance, grounds maintenance, insurance, reserves, water and other services. Buyers should review the current condominium budget, reserves, insurance responsibilities and maintenance obligations for the individual unit.
Venetia Community Amenities
Venetia offers an extensive recreational and social amenity package centered around its main clubhouse.
- Community clubhouse
- Large heated swimming pool
- Hot tub and spa
- Fitness center
- Tennis courts
- Pickleball courts
- Bocce courts
- Shuffleboard
- Basketball court
- Playground
- Private neighborhood pools for select sections
- Sidewalks and landscaped streets
- Lakes, wetlands and preserve areas
- Resident clubs and organized activities
- Social events and community gatherings
The clubhouse hosts card groups, games, book clubs and other resident activities, while sports and social groups provide additional opportunities to participate in the community.
Gated Community
Venetia is a gated residential community with controlled access. The neighborhood has entrances near Jacaranda Boulevard and U.S. 41, providing convenient access while limiting through traffic inside the community.
Tree-lined streets, mature tropical landscaping, lakes and preserved natural areas contribute to Venetia’s established residential setting.
Buyers should review current gate procedures, parking restrictions, vehicle rules, pet policies, rental requirements and other association regulations for the specific section they are considering.
Venetia HOA Structure
Venetia operates under a master association known as the Venetia Community Association, with separate associations governing the different residential sections.
This means association fees and included services are not identical throughout Venetia. A single-family homeowner may have a very different maintenance arrangement from an owner in Villa Vivaci, Villa Paradiso or Casa DiAmici.
Depending on the property type, association expenses may include:
- Master community recreation
- Common-area landscaping
- Gate and private-road maintenance
- Community pool maintenance
- Lawn and landscape services
- Exterior building maintenance
- Cable television and internet
- Water, sewer or trash services for select associations
- Insurance and reserve funding for condominium properties
Buyers should verify the total current association fees, included services, reserve funding, insurance responsibilities and maintenance obligations for the specific property before purchasing.
No CDD Fees in Venetia
Venetia does not have a Community Development District, commonly referred to as a CDD.
This distinguishes Venetia from many newer master-planned communities in southern Sarasota County where a CDD assessment may appear on the annual property-tax bill.
Venetia owners do pay required association fees, and those fees vary according to the property’s residential section and ownership type.
Lakes, Preserves & Natural Setting
Venetia was designed around numerous lakes, ponds, wetlands and preserve areas. Many residences enjoy water, preserve or landscaped views rather than directly facing another backyard.
The mature landscaping and natural areas also provide habitat for Florida birds and wildlife while creating a noticeably different atmosphere from newer communities where landscaping is still becoming established.
Sidewalks throughout much of the neighborhood provide additional opportunities for walking and enjoying the community’s outdoor setting.
