The construction of the villa dates back to the second half of the XVII° century. It was built for the Michieli family. When the villa passed into the hands of the Venier, it was extended: the architect Lorenzo Boschetti, who also probably built the family chapel, added a final floor and removed other parts of the villa.
At the beginning of the XIX° century the architect Carbone added two side rooms to the main central building, connecting them with arcades. For some years, the villa was used by Domenician Sisters, but nowadays Villa Venier is the property of a private individual.
