Al Ponte Antico

Truly authentic & amazing The stay was absolutely incredible, in fact one of the best places we have stayed at. We were greeted right away and given a tour and history of the establishment. The staff and owners are incredible and will ensure your stay is excellent with recommendations for dinner and sights to see. The breakfast was homemade from the wife, and was amazingly incredible. Words do not describe this place alone, truly and authentic experience and a very romantic stay for our honeymoon/vacation!!

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!!!

Apologies for the delayed review - my wife and I enjoyed a 2 night break in the luxury of this intimate hotel. The welcome and interactions from Barbara & Bruno were warm and welcoming - they truly made you feel valued! From personal emails prior to arrival to the advice and pre booking of restaurants added to that personal touch! There simply was nothing to fault - from the stunning location with the seating area overlooking the grand canal and rialto bridge …. Breathtaking! The lounge area is simply elegant - a great place to relax after a day of sightseeing! As are the rooms - traditional and luxurious to say the least! Breakfast …… from Barbara’s home baked goodies to Bruno’s omelettes …. To die for! Nothing was too much for any of the staff … even heading out get plasters for my wife! All the staff offered the personal touch - forgive me for not naming you all separately! I look forward to welcoming you to Ireland when you make the trip! Hope you enjoyed the Tayto 😀 Truly a gem in the heart of Venice!

Amazing The service in the hotel is secomd to none, staff always availbke and nothing is too much trouble even helped with a guide around the city with off the beaten track advice.

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.
