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.

What a fantastic find! We decided to stay in a hotel in Venice following a 1 week cruise. As always, I was concerned that the service we recieved on the ship could never be replicated by a hotel. How wrong I was. We arrived very early on Saturday morning with the intention of leaving our bags in the hotel and... more

My Husband and I had a split destination honeymoon and had stayed in another hotel in Venice for the first few nights and then headed to Lake Garda (Eurocamp) - for our last night we wanted luxury and splendour to finish off our honeymoon so after reading the reviews on this site booked this hotel. It was wonderful - the... more

My husband & I stayed here for our anniversary & my husbands birthday. The room was spacious, clean with a dressing area & lovely bathroom. We have travelled alot & it's probably the most ornate hotel we've every stayed in. The view is to die for & Venice is amazing! Matteo is the perfect host & left a chilled bottle... more

A delightful first stay in Venice. The Al Ponte is situated in a perfect place for visiting every part of Venice. The hotel is small and intimate. The decor is beautiful, and the service from the staff was truly outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble - booking restaurants, suggesting times to visit busy attractions, down to where to get the... more
