.... imagine to be here, one night, or in the blue hour, towards sunset... rise to the top of this tall building and admiring the sun setting all around over Venice...
the magic of colors reflecting on the water of lagoon and all around the most magic scenery...
romantic, dreamy... while the night is coming....
having dinner there, at the top terrace and admiring all around, the silence and the colors...
this is the magic romantic VENICE ....
close your eyes and dream.....

ABOUT MOLINO STUCKY:
The story of a dynasty: three generations of Swiss millers involved in Venetian history. First Hans Stucky, a poor immigrant who travelled to Venice by foot to work in the only existing mill in town. He arrived in time to take part in the heroic 1848 Revolution. His son Giovanni built a huge mill on the Giudecca Island, started a flourishing international trade of wheat, flour and pasta, and became the richest man in Venice, living in the very sumptuous Palazzo Grassi. He was murdered in 1910 by a former worker. His death caused scandal and great mourning. Giancarlo, his son, enlarged his father’s business but was ruined in the financial crash of the Thirties. Victim of the economic mismanagements of Mussolini and of the hostility and greed of some personalities of the fascist regime, he lost all his fortune. In this context the reader gets a glimpse of a hundred years of Italian-Venetian history and economy. The mill has recently been turned into a hotel.
On the north-west bank of Giudecca island, a 10-minute boat ride away from St Mark’s Square. The hotel’s imposing red-brick, neo-gothic façade dominates the waterfront, and front rooms have superb views of the city’s spires and domes, across the narrow stretch of water.
We like
The history. Dating from 1884, the building started life as a flour mill owned by Giovanni Stucky. Employing 1,500 people, it produced 50 tons of flour daily and included a pasta factory. Abandoned in 1955, it was left to dereliction, before conversion to a luxury hotel in 2007. Steel columns, girders, wood-beamed ceilings and factory floor-style, open-plan public areas are a reminder of its past. Plus points include a rooftop swimming pool and large spa.
