Echoing everything said before. I have never been anywhere before where staff were so attentive and genuinely interested in making the stay as perfect as possible. From restaurant choices to what to do (and not do!) all of the advice was to help us get the most out of our stay. Matteo is such a gracious and witty host. The... more

The title says it all, I am sure there are plenty of wonderful hotels,but this one just blew us away. My wife has put this hotel down for our weekend trips. From the moment we arrived to our departure, we were made to feel special. Thank you to Mateo, Olivero, Rosabela and the rest of the staff. I would recomend... more

I know this is the common theme of reviews of this hotel, but after a stay here you can't help but rave about the staff. The owner, Matteo, is an incredibly charismatic host and he seems to genuinely care if his guests are enjoying their stay. The location of the hotel is superb. It was easy to navigate with the... more

Just returned from a stay of 5 nights in the junior suite at Al Ponte Antico. We are well travelled and we believe that the friendliness, hospitality, and level of service provided by Matteo and all the staff were of the highest level we have encountered on any of our trips. Our stay at Al Ponte Antico made our stay... more

Was looking forward to staying here and it really didn't dissapoint. We arrived, and without speaking a word we were greeted by our first names by the owner of the hotel, which left us both fairly stunned. We were shown around the hotel by him, whilst our bags were whisked away to our room. After a quick chat to give... more

I read dozens of reviews before I booked this hotel and, like other reviewers, I had very high expectations. Our train from Florence was 3 hrs late. We took a water taxi to the hotel (highly recommended - costs 50 euro but worth it based on talking to others who did not take it) - the hotel has a dock... more

After arriving in Venice from Florence were i had started to feel sick, i really needed to be able to enjoy the last leg of my Italian Vacation. We pulled up to the Al Ponte via water taxi and were promptly greeted by the owner of the hotel, Matteo and one of the other amazing staff members. Matteo greeted us... more

My husband and I stayed here for two nights recently as part of our 25th anniversary trip. The only reason I didn't give a perfect score is that I don't believe one goes to Venice for it's value and our room had no view. Our room was categorized as a "classic room". Having said that, I agree with all the... more

I don't need to reiterate what everyone else has said about Venice and the stunning Ponte Antico: it's simply a gem. It is without doubt the best hotel experience we have ever had - not only because of its breathtaking location overlooking the Grand Canal, and the beautifully decorated interior, but because of the people. I hesitate to call them... more
