Al Ponte Antico

What a wonderful hotel and Venice experience. All the staff were exceptional to us during our stay. Water taxi from the train station was about 15-20 minutes down the main channel, immediately giving us a tour of the city and its architecture, markets, homes, and hotels. Location is next to Rialto Bridge and 10 minute walking distance to almost anything we chose to see during our stay. The canal patio was always a pleasure to relax on and have a “Select Spritz.” The breakfasts were always a well prepared spread and ready-to-order eggs were a delight. There is no restaurant on-site but many within a very short walking distance. Hotel staff was able to provide patio snacks in the form of olives and potato chips. The café machine is 1/1 and a sight to see by itself. Gorgeous! For those unfamiliar or curious, some rooms have walk-in showers while others are bathtub showers. We often heard they were smaller than what our friends were used to at home. I had a bathtub shower and while tight, it was easy enough for my wife and I to use. I recommend when booking, you be specific about shower access if you need specific access requirements. Bedrooms and beds were comfortable and spacious. House staff would even turn-down our beds in the evening before our return from dinner that evening. I would highly recommend a stay here for anyone wanting to visit Venice. Bravo Al Ponte Antico Hotel!!!

My wife and I have been here for 5 days in room 109, the suite with a patio overlooking the canal. From the initial booking months ago up until today, it has been an exceptional experience. The proprietors are exceptionally kind, helping us arrange transportation from the airport to the front door. All of the staff here are very helpful and kind, from the front desk attendants to those clearing the tables at breakfast. And that breakfast, wow! Neither of us are big breakfast eaters and rarely get up before noon, but its was quite lovely and the setting is absolutely breathtaking. It's apparent that everyone who works here takes great pride in this hotel, As they should. The location is perfect. We have walked to all the sites the last few days and never felt unsafe. There are numerous restaurants and places to shop within just a few blocks. The recommendations from the front desk have been spot on. They are there 24 hours and have been an immense resource, from directions and recommendations to having an umbrella waiting for us on a rainy day. The patio outside our door opens up to a spectacular view of the rialto bridge and is the best spot in Venice to sit back, relax, people watch, and have a romantic meal and drinks

Quest'anno abbiamo deciso di trascorrere il Capodanno a Venezia, una città che ogni volta ci avvolge con la sua atmosfera un po' magica. Questa volta la magia è stata ancora più intensa grazie alla struttura scelta. Fantastica la residenza Al Ponte Antico gestita con grande professionalità e gentilezza da Matteo e da sua moglie Barbara, bravissima pastry chef. Attorno a loro uno staff d'eccezione tra cui cito Oliviero, Alessio, Tommaso e Merci sempre pronti a soddisfare ogni tua richiesta con il sorriso sulle labbra...con tutti si stabilisce una grande empatia. Favolosa la struttura, curata nei minimi particolari con arredi che ti immergono nell'atmosfera veneziana più autentica. La colazione ottima con dolci e pane home made ed un'offerta in generale molto varia con il privilegio di poter essere consumata con affaccio sul Canal Grande. Il rapporto qualità/prezzo adeguato ad una struttura ed una location sicuramente di alto livello. Un soggiorno Al Ponte Antico rende sicuramente il soggiorno a Venezia un'esperienza indimenticabile!

This is by far the best hotel I have ever stayed in in Italy. The owners are amazing, the service is excellent and the staff is extremely kind. I loved this place from the first contact with them and O can not wait to go back.

I spent 5 nights at this lovely hotel in November 2024. It was a wonderful experience. The hotel is located close to the Santa Lucia Train Station and on the main water bus (vaporetto) line. In fact, there is a vaporetto station at the top of the street on which the hotel is located, so it was easy to get to and from many of the most important monuments and museums, some of which were also within walking distance. The hotel was clean, my room was very comfortable, and the included breakfast was excellent. The staff were very friendly, extremely helpful and very accommodating. I will definitely come back to this lovely hotel.

Best hotel experience I've ever had in my life! Absolutely loved staying here last month for my first solo international trip! They made me feel right at home during what could have been a nerve racking experience alone. I actually got lost trying to find the hotel since I arrived late at night after no sleep on the airplane flight over from the US. The manager on duty that night came and found me and brought me safely to the hotel! I have to say most hotels would never ever do this for someone. I cannot wait to go back and stay again!
