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

The Al Ponte Antico hotel is amazing....just as all the previous reveiws have mentioned! We (myself, 45 and 2 nieces 18 & 21) stayed 2 nights prior to a cruise and amazing does not even begin to describe our experience. I think they make copies of your passport (they have to) and then have all the staff memorize who we... more

Sadly we only stayed one night at this wonderful hotel. Believe me it is the most fantastic place to stay in Venice and that is due to the warm welcome & amazing staff at the hotel. The wonderful Matteo is extremely proud of his hotel and the staff fall over themselves to make you feel at home offering all kinds... more

Don't normally do reviews but like evreryone else I feel Matteo and his team deserve yet another over the top, gushing review. The curious thing after three days celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary I really have no idea how or why this hotel does what it does. It has to be THE world-wide model for hotel service.

If you want an experience that you will never forget, stay at the Al Ponte Antico Hotel. Although the prices can be hefty, you will experience Venice in a way that everyone should experience Venice for the first time. First, the hotel sits at one of the elbows of the backwards-S-shaped Grand Canal where you can have breakfast or grab... more

Hotel AlPonte Antico is just perfect! From Matteo and his team to the food and furnishings of this fabulous hotel, everything is as it should be, but rarely is. Breakfast will delight and satisfy the most fussy of gourmet and evening spritzers on the romantic terrace are a must. Matteo's recommendations are spot on and he makes the most charming... more

Despite having read reviews prior to booking, the experience far exceeded our expectations. We wholeheartedly agree with all that has been written before. This is a really special place and we both feel very lucky to have stayed here. The service provided by Matteo and his team was perfect, nothing was too much trouble. His restaurant recommendations were excellent and,... more

I could write a long, gushing review for this wonderful hotel, but there is nothing I can say that hasn't already been said before - a hundred times over. Every word is absolutely true. You have to experience it for yourself to understand how wonderful and unique a stay at the Al Ponte Antico really is. All there is really... more

There isn't much I can add to previous reviews except to say that they are all true. The service was the best we have ever experienced, location perfect, restaurant recommendations great and sitting on the Terrace with a Spritz whilst watching the activity on the canal was one of the highlights of the trip! Thanks Matteo and team. more
