Staying at Al Ponte Antico was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel like royalty. Matteo and his team go above and beyond to ensure every guest feels welcomed and cared for. The location is perfect—right on the Grand Canal, with stunning views of the Rialto Bridge. The hotel’s terrace is a dream spot to enjoy breakfast or a sunset drink, offering a front-row seat to Venice’s charm. Our room was impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and full of thoughtful details. The breakfast was one of the highlights—freshly prepared and served with a personal touch that made each morning special. If you’re looking for a truly Venetian experience with exceptional service, this is the place to stay. We’ll definitely return on our next visit! Highly recommended!

I have no words to describe what it was staying here. This simply has to be in the top 3 best stays of my life. The hotel is something right out of a fairy tale. Venice is an incredible place and this hotel was just as charming as the city itself. I almost didn't want to leave the room or the hotel, It was a vacation in itself. Waking up to breakfast was the highlight of our day. Matteo and all of the staff at the hotel treat you like you are the only one there, a very personalized touch. The view is absolutely priceless. I am not sure of many hotels where the Rialto can be seen from breakfast OR your room so close. All in all, this is really one of those wonders that you have to see to believe and is a must stay for everyone.

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.

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!

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...

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.

This place is beyond your wildest dreams. Obviously, the location is unbeatable, but the real gem of this place is the care of the team. I've stayed in some nice places, but I've never been better welcomed than by Gigi, Matteo and Mini. They really go the extra mile to make this place feel like a dream. Their kindness and attention to detail is the reason why I will keep coming back.

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 .

It was like in a movie, everything was perfect. The staff knows you by name (even when they change shifts), the owner takes care of you and even carries your suitcases. He also cooks the best scrambled eggs I've had for years. His wife is charming, caring and friendly. If possible, I would like to go there every year!

I couldnt believe the comments until i see. By far, the best hotel i've ever stayed after 10 years of travel to more than 15 countries in Europe and US. Second time in venice, but it was something different. Best people you may know, an antique well designed hotel with pure love in every details. Kindest and lovliest. You feel like you are in a fantasy atmosphere with delicious breakfast and 24hr bar at ur service. Thanks to Barbara, Matteo, Bruno, Gigi, Alex, Oliver and Thomas. We will be back soon

NOTHING

World class view, private dock for water taxi, and staff/owner personalization. The main balcony alone made the stay worthwhile.

We liked everything, nothing wrong at all,

All of the reviews that you read about Al Ponte Antico are so true. We had the most amazing stay. The owner and staff are incredible, so welcoming, so helpful and friendly. Breakfast on the terrace on the Grand Canal was wonderful. Perfect staff, perfect location, perfect hotel.

Noting at all.
