"Molino Stucky, an adaptive reuse of a sprawling flour mill that dates to 1895. Located on the string of eight interconnected islands known as Giudecca, just across the way from the main Venetian archipelago, the distinctive red brick complex has been a city landmark for years. A four-year restoration has carefully incorporated its original factory architecture with the stile contemporary living. Most of this quiet mile-long island is the domain of residents who enjoy spectacular views of the action across the way while indulging in the sedate comforts of quotidian Venetian life– a cafe here, a barking dog there, a few art galleries. The Stucky anchors the far western side of the island, and includes gracious gardens and courtyards lit by Venice’s signature pink-glassed street lamps. Seemingly a thousand miles from the tourist throngs of Piazza San Marco and the Ponte Rialto– but only a 10-minute boat ride– this is the perfect place to soak up the real Venice."
