Cavallino-Treporti, a peninsula between the Venice lagoon and the sea
Cavallino-Treporti takes up the long sandy peninsula that separates the northern Venice lagoon from the Adriatic, between Jesolo and the Lido inlet. Until the late 1990s it was part of the municipality of Venice. It is now a municipality in its own right, made up of places strung along the main road, from Cavallino to Ca' Savio, Treporti and Punta Sabbioni, with lagoon hamlets such as Lio Piccolo on the inland side.
The seaward side has one of the largest concentrations of campsites in Europe, and in summer the number of people present multiplies. Inland there is still a landscape of market gardens and greenhouses. The services reflect this: the municipality has 159 bars and restaurants, many open only in the summer season.
Two things matter for buyers. The first is getting around: from Punta Sabbioni the waterbuses cross the lagoon to Venice and the Lido, while by land the only way out is through Jesolo. The second is water. The land sits just above sea level, part of it is reclaimed, and it is surrounded by lagoon, canals and beach, so ground height, flood-prone areas and coastal erosion need checking at the exact address.
Istat, the national statistics office, counted 13,266 residents in 2023, 104 more than in 2011. The estimated average age is 48.3, against 47.6 in the metropolitan city of Venice, and over-65s make up 26.3%. Foreign residents make up 8.4%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.
In the metropolitan city of Venice, 44 of the 44 municipalities are in seismic zone 3, this one included; it is in zone 3 with a low expected ground acceleration of about 0.069 g. On sandy ground with a high water table, foundations and damp in the walls matter more. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report traces the plot from the address.

Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.
