Perched atop an immaculately restored mill that is now home to the Hilton Molino Stucky Hotel, Skyline Bar is a light and airy lounge that serves exquisite fruit and herb cocktails complemented by excellent views of the city. It’s lovely by day and very romantic at night, with the lights of Venice twinkling on the water. . There’s an extensive cocktail list and although it’s expensive, the bar’s two terraces are a lovely place to linger with a early evening drink. Take a public boat (nearest stop Palanca) or the hotel’s shuttle service to the Giudecca island.
