6/28/11: Mateo was a great help, went out of his way to find transportation info for us. Room #3 top unit, windows facing inside, is quite. Watch out for mosquitoes though. We got a few shots leaving the window open instead of using the AC. Check in instruction was clear, breakfast got boring on your third day, without fruit, and... More

This is a really quaint hotel located only minutes away from the busy Rialto Bridge. It is an annex of the larger hotel where the breakfast is served every morning. The breakfast was nothing spectaculor but it was filling and we were happy to have it as Venice is very expensive (so its nice to have breakfast included). It is... More

I think that the hotels near to Rialto Bridge have the best location for exploring Venice. Clean and simple room with good value.Only the breakfast was poor. Rio ALTO apartments are near to Hotel Bartolomeo. More

My partner and I stayed here for two nights, one night on either side of a cruise we went on. Upon arriving we arrived at the door, forgetting that we were supposed to go to Hotel Bartolemeo to check in and arrange keys. Fortunately someone from reception was letting other guests into the building and he took us back to... More

We stayed just one night at this great find close to the Rialto Bridge and a 5 minute walk to St. Mark's Square. We were blown away by the amazing staff. Everyone we dealt with truly bent over backwards to do everything they could to make our stay great, from carrying our luggage up the stairs to calling our next... More

You have to check in at Hotel Bartolomeo (very close and around a couple of corners)...you do have to carry (lug) your bags up stairs so be prepared...our check in went very smoothly..lovely, helpful people at the front desk who will take you over to the Rio Alto..We both had lovely canal...

Room was small, dark and windows looked on to a brick wall with old kitchen or something for a view about 1 metre away, just out of arms reach!!. The air con if they had any at all did not work. There were no elevators to the upstairs rooms. Internet did not work, despite advertising it. They demanded we pay... More

So near everything. A couple of streets back from Rialto Bridge, a few minutes walk from St. Marks Square. Stayed in the rooms nearby the hotel and not the hotel itself which was fab. We stayed in a twin room and was clean with a view of the Canal. The only thing I would comment on is that it was... More

Rio Alto is not exactly a hotel, but an apartment building with 5 units close to the Bartolomeo Hotel. They will give you the key to the front door and the apartment, and that’s it. You will have to check-in/check-out, eat breakfast and use the internet at the Bartolomeo. Location of both hotels is good, close to to the Rialto... More
