The owners and the staffs were so caring, helpful and dedicated. The location of the hotel is absolutely perfect in Venice and offers incredible views.
MauritiusI liked absolutely everything. The services Was like you would see in a movie.
United States of AmericaNo 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.
United States of AmericaThe best stay of our trip to Italy! Beautiful, extremely charming hotel right on the grand canal with a terrace over looking the Rialto bridge. Easy to walk to everything but also away from crowds. The owners and staff were incredibly gracious and attentive. Simply the best!!!
United States of AmericaHomemade baked goods by proprietress Barbara. Delicious espressos and cappuccinos from sophisticated espresso maker. Eggs made to order by Matteo, the proprietor. Nice selection of meats and cheeses.
United States of AmericaMy 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!
United States of AmericaA truly exceptional property and hosts. The spectacular location with a direct view of the Rialto bridge was incomparable. The hosts, Matteo and Barbara are both passionate about their property, which they directed the renovation of down to the smallest detail. It was like stepping into a Palazzio in the 14th century, just with all the 21'st centuries comfort and convenience. Excellent breakfast with home made baked good, delicious caffe's, and in the evening your choice of fine crafted cocktails with the best view in Venice. This is the best hotel I've ever stayed at. Extremely convenient to all major sites, and easy to find your way back as it's just next to the Rialto.
United States of AmericaThe location of the hotel is second to none. The only hotel with a terrace overlooking the Rialto Bridge. Matteo and his team Alex, Igor, Oliver, including his wife Barbara were super welcoming and friendly, starting with a personal welcome and a tour of the hotel. Everyone went an extra mile to help and make our stay memorable. We particularly enjoyed having the delicious breakfast prepared by Matteo and drinks in the evening on the terrace. Will definitely go back when in Venice and recommend the hotel to everyone! Our thanks to the whole team at Al Ponte Antico for an unforgettable stay!
United KingdomIt’s a very special small place. There are only nine rooms at this hotel. The building is old and was built in the 16 century but the facility is very clean, accurate and in good condition. The staff is very helpful and polite. They want to help you every minute and listen to your every wish. It begins from the breakfast when the hotel chef cooks especially for you ,his wife bakes delicious bakery and continues with the help from the front desk in planning your day and route.
IsraelThe staff are all very friendly and helpful. The interior of the hotel is well decorated.
