    Owned by a couple matteo and barbara.. love their friendliness and the delicious eggs prepared by matteo and the handmade pastries by barbara... the staff knows all the guests by names... only 9 rooms available at this quaint venetian hotel. Location is perfect and 2 mins away from the Rialto bridge. Everything is within walking distance. Highly recommend this hotel. Lovely views from the terrace .

    My room was dark but we got used to it. It was large and everything was adequate. The decor was pretty. The bed a bit too hard. We had everything we needed.

    I loved coming home at night and sit on the terasse with a full view of the Rialto bridge and all the gondolas and boats on the River Grande. In the morning, to have breakfast on that same terasse, the most abundant lovely breakfast. Finally, both the owners and the people who worked there were all extraordinary. I will definitely wish to return, I was so sad to leave...

    Nothing, Venice is a very busy and touristy city so where you stay will greatly impact how much you like the city, so do yourself a favour and stay here!

    Chose this hotel from the many others in Venice based on the incredible reviews and yet we were still blown away by the service. All the staff so friendly, greet guests by name, nothing is too much trouble, made reservations for us, happy to give tips and a history lesson whilst making the best spritz's in town! The terrace and view is incredible, found ourselves marvelling in it every breakfast, afternoon drink and post dinner night cap, such. an escape from the busy alley ways to watch the daily activity on the grand canal. The breakfast is lovely with homemade pastries from the hotel owner and freshly cooked eggs. Room was spacious, comfortable, dark and quiet, and the bathroom lovely with a good shower. Already planning our return trip.

    The views, staff, breakfast, terrace. The staff provides exceptional recommendations for food and sights to see and are super helpful. Breakfast was delicious and by far our favorite of the trip. Everyone was more than helpful and their whole staff was super friendly and welcoming. The terrace had phenomenal views over the canal and was never crowded.

    We were only able to stay 1 night :-)

    The whole experience, with Matteo and Barbara and their colleagues Alex Louise and Thomas, was exceptional. The location is perfect, the breakfast was lovely and all the staff are so attentive and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. We have found a gem in Venice and will definitely go back and recommend family and friends. The view from the terrace is the best in Venice!

    No better place to stay in Venice! The staff is incredible! The location is perfect. The room was very large with 2 seating areas and a king bed. What makes the room is the window that opens to the canal. Last time in Venice we had a large room at a nice hotel. We had a window overlooking a side canal. This time felt like we were on the canal from our room. When we got back to the room for the evening we opened the window and watched the world come floating past us. We had drinks with music from the privacy of our room, with a view that you will not get anywhere else! When we were ready to sleep we closed the windows and we had our large private room to enjoy and rest. This room is well worth the price and more! Will never stay anywhere else in Venice.

    Bathroom tile was an uninspired porcelain. My antique armoire door never closed properly so the doors were always open.

    My wife and I had a very nice stay at Al Ponte Antico. It was easy to get here from the train station - just a scenic water bus ride to the Rialto (bridge) stop, then a 5-minute walk. The view of the Canal Grande & Rialto Bridge is spectacular as you can see from other reviewer pictures. Matteo and his wife Barbara were very helpful and they provided a fantastic breakfast available every morning. Small hotel, historic, very personable, central location to just about everywhere on Venezia. It was a very memorable stay!
