Location: Venice, Veneto, Italy, Europe (Conveniently located to Pza Roma parking and train station.)
Accommodations: Condo, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2.25 Baths (Sleeps 4-6)
Keywords: Condominiums
The Molino Stucky Condominium and the New Molino Stucky HILTON are in the same building, with the Hilton occupying the left side and the Condominium occupying the right side (please see the picture on the left). The same developer did both simultaneously, so we share the same marble bathrooms, large air conditioned rooms and other amenities. The main difference is that the Hilton charges a minimum of € 400 per day for a ROOM, and we charge a minimum of € 150 per day for an ENTIRE APARTMENT.
My condominiums are located in a charming 18th century building overlooking the largest canal in Venice. Watch the parade of boats, from gondolas and private launches to vaporettos and ocean liners, from the privacy of your window. See Piazza San Marco's bell tower and the Salute Church. Watch the people on the Zattere in Dorsoduro on the other side of the canal going to and fro among the traditional three-pronged Venetian street lights. In the evening, look at the sun set over the stunning snow-capped Dolomites.
Our apartments are in the famous antique Molino Stucky, a charming 18th century flour mill that has just been rebuilt as Venice's premier residence. In fact, we share our island with the world famous Cipriani Hotel and Hilton Hotel. Our apartments were just recently totally renovated and furnished, and were just placed into service in the last few years. They are all bright, comfortable and quiet (with special double glazed windows) and are available all year.
My lovely one bedroom apartment has terrazzo floors and wonderful canal AND mountain views. The apartment has an enormous red marble bathroom with an oversize bathtub with shower, toilet and bidet; it even has a washing machine for your clothes. The apartment has a sleeper couch in the living room and therefore sleeps four people. It is situated high on the fifth floor and is reached by a self-service elevator, a rare commodity in Venice.
The apartment has central air conditioning and heat that you may directly control through a thermostat in the living room.
Cooking is a nice way to save money when traveling with a large family, and we try to make it as easy as possible. My kitchen is fully equipped, including all pots, pans, silverware, glasses and dishes that you could possibly need. All this and a dishwasher to clean up with after your meals. I have also provided color TVs and a stereo with a CD player, as well as an iron and ironing board. The apartment is also provided with its own mobile phone.
Finally, when renting a private home in Venice, always be careful to ask if there is an elevator. The great majority of Venetian buildings have no elevator because the Landmarks Ministry (the "Belle Arte") forbids their installation in antique buildings. As a result, bringing a family with luggage up several flights of stairs can present quite a problem. This has been solved in our building by the installation of two fully automatic elevators for your convenience.
My apartment is sunny and bright, and has a stunning water AND mountain view. My apartment is non-smoking, and family owned and operated. In short, I have remodeled and furnished this apartment to my own high standards because I am a mother and my kids spend about three months a year here in Venice occupying it.
Please Note: We have Two Additional, Identically Appointed, Apartments Available In the Same Condominium Building; One Is A Larger One-Bedroom Apartment And The Other Is A Two-Bedroom Apartment. Perfect for larger groups traveling together!

We stayed in the 2 BR Molino Stucky condo over the holidays. It was perfect, with wonderful conveniences and unbelievable views from all the windows. We parked our car in the Tronchetto lot and a few vaporetto stops later, Angelita the housekeeper met us on the boardwalk and we were in! All this for a fraction of a hotel price. Plus, you look at Venice across the Canal and you're away from all the hassle. The free Hilton shuttle runs at least hourly, or buy a pass and scoot all over Venice without headaches. There are several grocery stores nearby to stock the modern kitchen, and we liked exploring the alleys of Giudecca some nights when we were tired of the Venice hustle/bustle. There's a washer and dryer, and architecturally the flat is gorgeous. Huge bathrooms too. Go to the adjacent Hilton and see what they charge for the same view, and you'll rent Jane's place tout suite!

The apartment and location were very good. We were a short walk to the Hilton water taxi and the views were very nice. However, we had considerable difficulty reaching the owner after we thought we had booked the apartment. We emailed our credit card information and, when the charge did not appear, sent several emails to inquire. The owner did not respond. The phone number the owner included in earlier emails was apparently to a non-functioning phone. We made a dozen phone calls to that number without success. The owner answered one call, said she could not hear, requested that I email, and then did not respond to the email. We arrived in Venice without directions to the apartment and without knowing whether we had secured the apartment. We had to hire a guide ($90) to find the apartment and, once we found it, no one was there to meet us. Fortunately, a local business was able to reach the agent. Because we thought we had paid by credit card, we did not have enough cash to pay for the apartment. The agent required cash before she could leave. It was late in the day and the banks were closed. Once again, we were fortunate because the agent was able to use her own bank card to get us into the secure area where the cash machine was located. Our bank card could not open the security door. The apartment did not have Internet. But for the lack of responsiveness on the owner's part and the misinformation about the Internet, we would have rated this apartment higher.

Our friends and ourselves booked this charming apartment for three nights during early September. With all of our luggage the building's elevator was a great help. The apartment was spacious, with both bedrooms adequately accomodating the four of us. But the view from the living of the Canal and the parade of cruise ships on Saturday morning was spectacular. The short walk to the market made it almost feel like a small village apartment at home. The shuttle provided by the Hilton Molino Stucky was a treasured bonus, since it picked us up and took us to San Marco Square when we needed to go. The computer and phone access back to the US made it feel like everything back home was right here. The only issue was that many of the light bulbs were burnt out in several areas with no replacements to be found. We would recommend this two bedroom as a place to stay for friends or family or both.

The Stucky was stunning! We loved the peace and quite yet close proximity to St. Mark's square. The accommodations met our personal needs. Contact with owner great all my questions were answered promptly. The morning views of the Dolomite Mountains most memorable.

Loved everything about the apartment - could not have asked for more. We began our 2 week Italian Holiday in Venice and what a great way to start. The view was perfect and a the amenities were excellent. Have been to Venice in the past and one of the best things was being on the island - quiet and relaxing! If you are thinking about renting this apt, do it!

Lovely location and nice apartment. Did find the apartment cluttered such as things stuffed into cupboards and personal items left in drawers.Found towel supply very limited . One of the bedrooms was lacking bedding and several lights throughot the apartment were burnt out and not replaced .There also was no tea kettle which we found very strange..

6 of us (adults) stayed here for 3 nights preceding a cruise. Having never booked anything through VRBO, I was feeling a little anxious and responsible...BUT all for naught!! This listing surpassed all of our expectations! Very relaxing, our home away from home. If anything, the photos couldn't possibly do enough justice! All the amenities you could want, very clean, new, large bedrooms and baths. The internet was a HUGE bonus, greatly appreciated for information back home regarding s.o. with a serious medical issue. The elevator was a blessing for those days when we were exhausted, having walked for miles, exploring & thoroughly enjoying this gorgeous city. The free Hilton shuttle was extremely convenient. A shuttle for the cruise actually stopped at this very same dock to transport guests from the Hilton (& ourselves) straight to the Princess Cruise ship, for a small fee! How convenient was that! The owners were most helpful, patiently answering ALL my endless questions and making wonderful recommendations. One of the best, was to take the Water Taxi from the airport right to the condo. A memory we will never forget! We found their recommended grocery store and ate at several locations on Giudecca. Our first encounters with Giudecca hospitality were with the Hilton staff for a wee issue and they were most helpful and then with the very friendly staff at the restaurant right at the entrance to the condo, where we enjoyed our first Venetian beers and wine and enjoyed the most incredible views! Water, boats, a Venetian sunset. We opted to have our last dinner at this restaurant. Also loved the views from the top of the Hilton. Amazing. One of the most incredible sights from the condo, was to look out the windows to see our huge cruise ship arriving. Looked as if it was going to sail right through one window & totally filled up the other window!. Beyond spectacular! The contract to rent this condo and handling of deposit and payment were very professional and securely managed. We would HIGHLY recommend this condo! Our Travel Agent has taken all the details, as we raved so much about it and we would not hesitate to recommend it to family or friends. Just WISH we had had more time here and would LOVE to return! Loved the condo, loved Venice! Thank you! Thank you from all of us! :)

Cannot say enough good things about our stay. The accommodations, the view, the location were all well above our expectations. The owners were especially helpful in sending a list 7 of their favorite restaurants. We were only able to go to 2 of the 7. Wish we could have gone to all as those 2 were great. Hope to be able to stay here again some day
Owner response:Thank-you for the lovely comments about our Venice home. The view, and quiet convenient location are what really made us pick that particular apartment. We love watching the boat traffic on the Giudecca canal, especially the cruise ships! The lights of the Zatterre across the canal at night are just breathtaking, as well as the view of the dolomites in the distance, on clear days!
