This was an amazing hotel. The staff were lovely and very helpful. At night the views were beautiful from the terrace, and the breakfast was lovely. The bread was very good and so was the cakes. I would stay here again and recomend it to a friend. more

Location, Location, Location It wasn’t fun driving to the Municipal Garage at Piazzale Roma, but once we were on the water taxi, life was good. And once we were sipping afternoon spritzes on the hotel’s balcony – watching the sunset skies and traffic on the Grand Canal, returning waves from children in gondolas with their parents, smiling as tourists in... more

This hotel exceeded my expectations and made my stay in Venice truly magical. Matteo and his staff are incredible and so friendly. From the moment we walked through the door we were treated like royalty. The location is perfect and close to everything. Morning breakfast is excellent, with a huge buffet spread of hot/cold items, and Matteo cooks up eggs... more

Just returned from Italy ending with a 3 night stay at Al Ponte Antico and what an end to a glorious holiday. So much has been said by others about this gem of a hotel (or Palace as Matteo appropriately referred to it) and until you experience it yourself it's hard to believe. What I want everyone to know is... more

I took my wife for a surprise trip to Venice to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I chose the hotel because of the high recommendations on Tripadvisor and we were not disappointed. The hotel is elegant and in a great location but it is Matteo and his staff that make it so memorable. They could not have been more freindly or... more

Al Ponte Antico was all that was promised in these TripAdvisor reviews. We booked our itinerary around availability at this lovely hotel and were not disappointed. Small, personal and friendly, our proprietor, Matteo and his staff, particularly Oliver and Thomas, made our stay in Venice memorable. What a delight to be greeted by name at the door after wandering Venice... more

Matteo and his staff made our first visit to Venice most enjoyable. They made excellent choices for us for meals and gave us precise directions. We would never have found the small wine bar around the corner from the hotel on our own. I wish we can find more Matteo's in our future travel destinations! more

What a fabulous place...our group of two couples from the US planned to stay here strictly on the basis of TA advice. Spot on! Fabulous vacation. Immaculate property. Friendly, personalized service...I cannot think of ANY downsides...except that Matteo won't find room for us when the crowds finally realize that this gem exists within his beautiful city. If your budget allows,... more

This is it... no need to look further. The perfect hotel in Venice. Perfect location, stunning views, beautiful rooms, amazing service, best breakfasts that we had on our holiday. We were only able to get their most basic room with a courtyad view and the room was still lovely. The view from the hotel balcony was worth the trip to... more
