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!!!

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!

This is a magical little hotel . The whole team were amazing . All their recommendations from restaurants to tour guides to places for apero were fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble.The breakfasts were wonderful , all freshly baked by Barbara . Also it’s in a perfect location near to the rialto bridge.
