Guest Reviews

• Melih Kahramaner (10/5): -
• Marie (10/5): -
• J and K (10/5): The most personalized service experience we've experienced (even as Lifetime Elite Marriott members) - Outstanding...the owner (Sr. Matteo) prepared all the pastries and bread each morning. Coffee drinks prepared by staff well versed in Barista service. The excellent staff was/is a direct reflection of the owners pride and dedication to giving patrons the best experience he/they can offer. I cannot stress enough how personalized our stay felt. The balcony/deck overlooks the canal & Rialto Bridge and is one of the few balconies on the canal to enjoy breakfast, coffee and drinks throughout the day. That we didn't have longer to stay. The experience was outstanding. Pro tip...we took a personal water taxi from the hotel to the airport and would have taken one there (Airport to Hotel) if we were to do it all over again. Personal water taxis more economical for 4-6 people than waterbus.
• Kim (10/5): A warm and welcoming hotel staff with a top notch location (and terrace!) - Amazing location, friendly and helpful staff and the view from the terrace for breakfast!!
• Rachel (10/5): Exceptional hotel, being in walking distance of most every site you would like to visit! - Outstanding Breakfast, especially eating outside overlooking the main channel and the Rialto Bridge!
• mick (10/5): Perfection - Perfect location Perfect host and team Unique setting
• Irina (10/5): -
• Rikuto (10/5): 最高の宿 - リアルト橋、水上バスの停泊場から徒歩すぐという立地の良さに加え、スタッフのホスピタリティの高さがすごい。 いつでも困ったことがあれば聞いてくれ、と声掛けしてくれる人たちで、過ごしていて快適しかなかった。 朝ごはんは基本的なバイキングだが、スタッフの方がオムレツかスクランブルエッグを作ってくれて、とても美味しく上に、カフェサービスもしてもらえる。 総合的に見てもとてもいい宿だった。 強いて挙げるものがないぐらい悪い点がなかった。
• Gita (10/5): - The owner, the staff and services were above and beyond. Top hospitality. Amazing breakfast all fresh baked and the best omelet ever made by the gracious host. 24 hour service best location and views of Rialto and grand Canal. I don't have anything negative about this place.
• Carlo (10/5): - Probably one of the nicest hotels I have stayed at. Everyone was super welcoming and the hotel is lovely and at a great location.
• mateusz (10/5): - Cudowne miejsce , przemiła obsługa ❤️
• Dominique (9/5): -
• Jan (10/5): A most amazing stay - we will be back ! - Superb location, and a home away from home. Matteo and his phenomenal staff made us feel more than welcomed. The friendliness and personal touch in all they did was outstanding and the breakfast was a feast. We will be back for sure.
• James (10/5): Wonderful trip to Venice. - Beautiful hotel in an excellent location. Wonderful staff is attentive to all needs. Great breakfast. Nothing.
• Lorraine (10/5): - Petit déjeuner buffet dans un cadre fabuleux, tout le monde était incroyablement gentil et prévenant !
• VIKTORIIA (10/5): -
• Kellie (10/5): Incredible in every way! - All of it! The location was amazing! The hospitality was incredible from the time we booked until the moment we left! Can’t think of anything.
• Mark (10/5): A welcoming hotel that will make you feel like family! - An exceptional boutique hotel located directly on the Grand Canal! The on sight owner (Mateo) and his staff are phenomenal. Accommodating every request... and offering spot-on recommendations for restaurants, sightseeing, travel arrangements, etc. A small terrace overlooking the Rialto Bridge and Grand Canal is a truly special place for the excellent breakfast included each morning. If possible, arrive via a water taxi directly from Marco Polo airport to the hotel's private dock on the Grand Canal. Mateo was on the dock to welcome us personally, and gave us a brief tour and history of his property. Personal touches like this continued throughout our stay... and made it special, almost like your part of the family. We booked the Junior Suite with a water level view directly on the Grand Canal. A very large double window can be opened and offers an incredible view of passing gondolas, the Rialto Bridge and the everyday boat traffic. I'd be surprised if there is another hotel room that offers such an intimate view of daily life on the Grand Canal... we literally spent hours here, relaxing and drinking it all in. The bathroom in the Jr. Suite is a quite small, but functional. For us it was a non-factor, as the very spacious suite and great views more than compensate.
• Celeste (10/5): Great location and exceptional staff - The location could not be better- on grand canal and superb view from terrace. The staff was exceptional so friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend!
• Yakov (10/5): - Все было супер Нет такого
• Lorenzo (10/5): -
• Karel (10/5): UITSTEKEND, zeer vriendelijk personeel, fantastische ligging, goed ontbijt, klein karaktervol hotel - het zicht vanop het (ontbijt)terras zo goed als naast de ponte di Rialto aan het grand canal is ongelofelijk. De kamer was groot en lichtrijk en sober maar sfeervol ingericht met klassiek venetiaans meubilair. Het personeel (family run) van dit kleine hotel is bijzonder behulpzaam en erop gericht je verblijf zo mooi mogelijk te maken. Je wordt er met de voornaam aangesproken. Het ontbijt is veelzijdig vers en lekker. Fantastische centrale ligging om Venetie te voet te gaan ontdekken. De douche cel in de badkamer is aan de kleine kant (voor grotere of zwaardere mensen zou dit een minpunt kunnen zijn). Geen andere 'minpunten'.
• Hovhannes (10/5): -
• Claudia (10/5): Urlaub wie bei Freunden - Alle Mitarbeiter und der Inhaber des Al Ponte Antico waren so aufmerksam und haben sich so viel Mühe gegeben, uns den Aufenthalt in Venedig noch schöner zu gestalten. Vielen lieben Dank an alle! Das Frühstück und der Blick von der Hotelterrasse ist einmalig, wir haben es sehr genossen, genauso wie die Lage, gleich in der Altstadt zu sein. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!
• LeeAnn (10/5): - The location was incredible. The property was magical and the service was the best we’ve had in Italy. When we come back to Venice this is where we’ll stay.
• Fabio (10/5): Exceptional -
• Szabo (10/5): 10/10 very friendly STAFF, best Ponte Rialto view, nice and clean rooms - Everything was perfect. Grazie mille.
• Taghreed (10/5): Exceptional - The hotel balcony the breakfast
• James (10/5): Amazing - The service in the hotel is secomd to none, staff always availbke and nothing is too much trouble even helped with a guide around the city with off the beaten track advice.
• Konrad (10/5): Exceptional - Staying at Al Ponte Antico was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel like royalty. Matteo and his team go above and beyond to ensure every guest feels welcomed and cared for. The location is perfect—right on the Grand Canal, with stunning views of the Rialto Bridge. The hotel’s terrace is a dream spot to enjoy breakfast or a sunset drink, offering a front-row seat to Venice’s charm. Our room was impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and full of thoughtful details. The breakfast was one of the highlights—freshly prepared and served with a personal touch that made each morning special. If you’re looking for a truly Venetian experience with exceptional service, this is the place to stay. We’ll definitely return on our next visit! Highly recommended!
• Kurt (5/5): Passable - Location and breakfast were great. Staff hospitality was excellent The bed needed to be replaced. Air conditioning unit was filthy
• Angie (10/5): The best hotel with the best owners and staff. You will love it! - Best hotel in Venice. The staff are the friendliest most welcome people ever. Wouldn’t stay anywhere else. It was perfect in every way.
• Sarah (8/5): Welcoming gem of a hotel - Great staff and fantastic breakfast
• Claudia (10/5): Dream stay in Venice - This place is beyond your wildest dreams. Obviously, the location is unbeatable, but the real gem of this place is the care of the team. I've stayed in some nice places, but I've never been better welcomed than by Gigi, Matteo and Mini. They really go the extra mile to make this place feel like a dream. Their kindness and attention to detail is the reason why I will keep coming back.
• Ludovic (10/5): It's a place with a soul, classy and sumptuous - It was like in a movie, everything was perfect. The staff knows you by name (even when they change shifts), the owner takes care of you and even carries your suitcases. He also cooks the best scrambled eggs I've had for years. His wife is charming, caring and friendly. If possible, I would like to go there every year!
• Dean (10/5): Truly authentic & amazing - The stay was absolutely incredible, in fact one of the best places we have ever stayed at. We were greeted right away and given a tour and history of the establishment. The staff and owners are incredible and will ensure your stay is excellent with recommendations for dinner and sights to see. The breakfast was homemade from the wife, and was amazingly incredible. Words do not describe this place alone, truly and authentic experience and a very romantic stay for our honeymoon/vacation!!
• Hamid (10/5): Exceptional - Superb location.very friendly and kind staff and lovely manager. Great homemade breakfast. Everything was exeptional.

• Stuart (10/5): Perfect staff, perfect location, perfect hotel. - All of the reviews that you read about Al Ponte Antico are so true. We had the most amazing stay. The owner and staff are incredible, so welcoming, so helpful and friendly. Breakfast on the terrace on the Grand Canal was wonderful. Perfect staff, perfect location, perfect hotel. Noting at all.
• David (10/5): Romantic and beautiful, take your best photographs. - World class view, private dock for water taxi, and staff/owner personalization. The main balcony alone made the stay worthwhile. We liked everything, nothing wrong at all,
• Daniel (10/5): Tully amazing! - One of the most amazing stays I’ve ever had! The owner of the hotel was not only easy on the eyes but was a true gem of a host! 10’s across the board!
• Emanuel (10/5): This hotel deserves to have 10 stars. - I have no words to describe what it was staying here. This simply has to be in the top 3 best stays of my life. The hotel is something right out of a fairy tale. Venice is an incredible place and this hotel was just as charming as the city itself. I almost didn't want to leave the room or the hotel, It was a vacation in itself. Waking up to breakfast was the highlight of our day. Matteo and all of the staff at the hotel treat you like you are the only one there, a very personalized touch. The view is absolutely priceless. I am not sure of many hotels where the Rialto can be seen from breakfast OR your room so close. All in all, this is really one of those wonders that you have to see to believe and is a must stay for everyone.
• Lynnette (10/5): Best hotel in Venice - Owned by a couple matteo and barbara.. love their friendliness and the delicious eggs prepared by matteo and the handmade pastries by barbara... the staff knows all the guests by names... only 9 rooms available at this quaint venetian hotel. Location is perfect and 2 mins away from the Rialto bridge. Everything is within walking distance. Highly recommend this hotel. Lovely views from the terrace .
• Karine (10/5): A gem of a place, with so much character. I loved all the books, so nice after a long day! - I loved coming home at night and sit on the terasse with a full view of the Rialto bridge and all the gondolas and boats on the River Grande. In the morning, to have breakfast on that same terasse, the most abundant lovely breakfast. Finally, both the owners and the people who worked there were all extraordinary. I will definitely wish to return, I was so sad to leave... My room was dark but we got used to it. It was large and everything was adequate. The decor was pretty. The bed a bit too hard. We had everything we needed.
• Anthony (10/5): An oasis in Venice - The staff was amazing. Impeccable and very friendly service. Wonderful breakfast.
• Ashleigh (10/5): 10/10! We will return! - Chose this hotel from the many others in Venice based on the incredible reviews and yet we were still blown away by the service. All the staff so friendly, greet guests by name, nothing is too much trouble, made reservations for us, happy to give tips and a history lesson whilst making the best spritz's in town! The terrace and view is incredible, found ourselves marvelling in it every breakfast, afternoon drink and post dinner night cap, such. an escape from the busy alley ways to watch the daily activity on the grand canal. The breakfast is lovely with homemade pastries from the hotel owner and freshly cooked eggs. Room was spacious, comfortable, dark and quiet, and the bathroom lovely with a good shower. Already planning our return trip. Nothing, Venice is a very busy and touristy city so where you stay will greatly impact how much you like the city, so do yourself a favour and stay here!
• Malik (10/5): Bellisimo!! - This is definitely an amazing experience! the best in Italy! A 14th century palace! Wow! And the view is fabulous. The owners themselves will serve you breakfast Absolutely nothing. Wish I stayed longer
• Dominika (10/5): Crème de La crème - We always have in our hearts Venetian B&B Al Ponte ! One of the best authentic place in Venice, just go for it, you can’t miss it!

• Robin (9/5): Wonderful boutique hotel for a weekend in Venice! - The hotel lived up to everything I read about it - the staff was kind and welcoming; the breakfast was delicious; and the location was perfect. The terrasse, with the view of the Rialto Bridge, can’t be beat!
• Trevor (10/5): It was the best hotel we’ve ever stayed at and I couldn’t imagine how it could be any better. The location was exception - The views, staff, breakfast, terrace. The staff provides exceptional recommendations for food and sights to see and are super helpful. Breakfast was delicious and by far our favorite of the trip. Everyone was more than helpful and their whole staff was super friendly and welcoming. The terrace had phenomenal views over the canal and was never crowded.
• Paul (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mr (10/5): Exceptional - I couldnt believe the comments until i see. By far, the best hotel i've ever stayed after 10 years of travel to more than 15 countries in Europe and US. Second time in venice, but it was something different. Best people you may know, an antique well designed hotel with pure love in every details. Kindest and lovliest. You feel like you are in a fantasy atmosphere with delicious breakfast and 24hr bar at ur service. Thanks to Barbara, Matteo, Bruno, Gigi, Alex, Oliver and Thomas. We will be back soon NOTHING

Our stay was like having a palace all to ourselves with assistance from the most passionate hosts you will ever meet in the hospitality industry. We highly recommend the hotel. The balcony over looking the Rialto Bridge and Grand Canal was truly fabulous.

Two nights was not enough, we will definitely be back!

• Verified traveler (10/5): Great service in a unique hotel - This place is a lovely small boutique. They provide a personalised service where they really make an effort to meet each guest. The passion from the staff with regards to the hotel was fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay again. We caught water taxis to and from the train station so getting there was easy. (Cost 50-65€ each way for the both of us, but you can use public ferries as a cheaper option). I sent an email with a couple of questions before arrival and the response was superb. Everything we wanted to see was walkable and there were many good food options around. Each evening we sat on the balcony for a quite drink before going to bed and the staff were more than accomodating.
• Kessarin (10/5): Comfortable bed, good breakfast, friendly people - A very good hotel. We are grateful for the hospitality, all the extras and the personal attention of the owner and the staff. There is a 24 hours service, you can even have a cup of tea served after midnight. The rooms are beautifully decorated, especially the common room just puts you back in time. Every tiny detail is wonderfully presented. A delicious simple warm breakfast was served in that amazing room with a spectacular view. Comfortable bed, good breakfast, friendly people. Fully recommended.
• Alex (10/5): Wonderful hotel with best service - It was amazing and we were greeted by the owner of the hotel when we reached there by a private boat. The view at the hotel and the terrace where we had breakfast was breathtaking. We will definite come back.
• Chris (10/5): - What a fantastic experience in Venice! Although we were only booked for one day, we were treated as royal guests and with such kindness and grace! Charming hotel with beautiful souls running it. Excellent location to boot! Definitely stay here you won't be sorry!
• Konstantin (10/5): Unforgettable Experience - Incredible hospitality and attention to detail. True boutique hotel that makes you feel like the most important member of the family. Couldn’t imagine staying anywhere else. An unforgettable experience.
• Mohamad zaid (10/5): This hotel is above the excellent! - It’s our 10th wedding anniversary and we were very lucky to get this lovely & upgrading to luxury room which facing and just step to the river. it’s wonderful when the owner introduced himself and the staffs remembered your name during your stay. The breakfast just like the other hotel but amazingly some of foods such as omelette,pancakes and hot pan from the kitchen prepared by Mr.mateo itself and some of the desserts prepared by his wife. Great location which centre of the city. this hotel is above the excellent,the information given was helpful and the atmosphere was like Venetian feel. I can’t recommend this hotel and the level of attentiveness more highly exceptional stuff. Only 9 suites in a 14th century palace. Leaving this place with heavy heart.
• Carl (10/5): Delightful stay - It was wonderful how all the staff remembered our names and used them when they greeted us. The breakfast was wonderful, the bathroom was very well appointed, and the room was extremeely comfortable. The location was very convenient.
• Arredondo (10/5): Wow. Wow. Wow - Staff was fantastic. Great location. Thanks Thomas, Oliver, Rosa and anyone's name I left off..If we're lucky enough to come back. ...we know where we are staying. Thanks again Hotel Al Ponte Antico!
• Mr & Mrs Mark (10/5): Incredible!!!! - Best place to stay!! View from our room was incredible!! The breakfast was delicious!! Matteu, Alex, and Oliver all amazing, so helpful, personal, happy, exceptional, they make you feel right at home. Rooms are very cozy and gorgeous!! Perfect location to everything!! Experience of a life time! A complete gem!!
• elizabeth j (10/5): The rating should go above excellent. - Our stay at this hotel far exceeds excellence! The owner, Matteo, greeted us by name as we entered the door (even two hours later than I had notified). He gave us a tour and information about his purchase of the hotel to our inquisition. The terrace is the highlight of this hotel, and the location is perfection. Follow their written directions, and you'll easily location the hidden alleyway to the entrance. Breakfast is superb! Amenities are superb! Staff is superb, and they obviously follow the example that Matteo exemplifies. When you book your stay here, include time to sit and enjoy the canal from the terrace - day AND night. It's a must! I want to go back to Venice to stay here! Thank you, Matteo and staff. You exceed customer service.
• Christophe (8/5): Stunning and unique hotel in Venice - The best service you can encounter at a property. Spectacular views, excellent location and overall excellent stay.
• Sharon (10/5): Perfect Stay, Location and Service! - We LOVED our stay at Al Ponte Antico! From the moment we arrived and hotel owner, Matteo helped us off the boat it was a one of a kind experience. Matteo gave us a tour of his beautiful hotel and the entire staff was lovely throughout our stay. Matteo's Bfast was delicious...homemade omelettes and crepes. Cappuccino and and a table overflowing with pastries, fruit, yogurt and more. Roselba and Oliver also took great care of all of our needs and even before we arrived, Matteo's brother Bruno took my emails and graciously answered all our questions. A wonderful family and staff. Amazing rooms right on the canal with an unforgettable view of the Rialto Bridge. Perfect location to everything. We will be back!
• Verified traveler (10/5): Great service, Relaxing atmosphere - Great service, Relaxing atmosphere, Central location
• Verified traveler (10/5): - A wonderful boutique hotel with amazing staff and location. The best Patio in Venice!
• John (10/5): - This is a fabulous, small hotel, right in the centre of Venice. Despite being really close to the Rialto Bridge, it's an oasis of calm, and the owner and his staff couldn't have done more to make us welcome. Our room was elegant and comfortable, overlooking the small terrace and the Grand Canal beyond. I would highly recommend this to anyone.
