Bring the whole family (aunts, uncles, extended cousins and all) on vacation to beautiful Venice, Italy this year with the Hilton Molino Stucky Venice’s “Family Affair Package.”

The 379-room Hilton Molino Stucky Venice is a luxurious 19th-century restored and converted flour mill on Giudecca with extensive views of Venice’s skyline, and it’s only a short walk from the main attractions of Venice. From now until December 31, 2009, families of four who book the “Family Affair Package” will receive nightly accommodations in a suite sleeping four (rates begin at €329), and members of their extended family will receive one additional deluxe room for 50% off the best available rate.

As part of the Family Affair rate, guests can enjoy Hilton’s daily breakfast, a welcome drink upon arrival, late check-out times, and a free kid’s menu for children under 10. The hotel also offers restaurants for an evening splurge, including one under the control of former Cipriani Chef Franco Luise.

While in Venice, take a walk to St. Mark’s Square and St. Mark’s Basilica, have a picnic along the Grand Canal, and see the Clock Tower lit up at night after a family dinner in a Venetian café. Families can also spend a day exploring the tourist-free Giudecca, a gondola-shaped group of islands that is home to the hotel and a rapidly developing art scene and celebrity presence.

After a day of sightseeing, the kids can play at the hotel’s rooftop pool (one of the first and only ones in Venice), while the adults rest their tired muscles at èSPAce spa, which offers 7,000 square-feet of treatment rooms, a fitness center, and a Turkish bath.

With all of these attractions, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to do some family bonding, but Venice would not be complete without a gondola ride around one of the city’s many canals.

The Hilton is also offering a summer special “Gondola Experience” package until September 30, in which families receive deluxe room accommodations and one free 30-minute gondola ride for up to three people. Rates for this offer start at €295 a night. The gondola voucher can be redeemed at the guests’ convenience at the gondola stand on San Marco/Valaresso, just minutes from the hotel via water shuttle.
