It is a pleasure for us to introduce the Al Ponte Antico Hotel in Venice, a small 4-star residence facing the Grand Canal, with a splendid view of the Rialto Bridge. We are certain that the exceptional location of this palace from the 1500's, its structure and decorations, its rooms and equipment, will satisfy all your expectations. For the moment we only want to tell you that the special quality of our small hotels depends not only on our steady family management but also on the special atmosphere created inside each of our properties and the exclusive customized service they offer.

The Al Ponte Antico Hotel, located in one of the quietest areas of Venice's historic center, a couple of steps from the Rialto Bridge, has a private wharf on the Grand Canal, a very convenient landing dock for the water taxis that will get you directly to the hotel and will take care of your transfer when you leave.

St. Mark's Square, Venice's living room, surrounded by government buildings and historic cafes, is dominated by the presence of the extraordinary basilica and the gothic profile of the Doge Palace, stretching to the docks of San Marco and Riva degli Schiavoni; it is easily accessible from the hotel after a short walk through the mercerie, the heart of Venice's shopping.

Rialto is the heart of Venice, enlivened by its historic market and innumerable shops and stands where you can truly find everything, from a souvenir to a precious object; the evening, time for an aperitif, calls many Venetians to this place between pubs and small restaurants for a spritz and a tasty 'chicheto'. The Al Ponte Antico Hotel is close to the Malibran Theater, the suggestive field of Santi Apostoli and the Church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli; the property is immersed in the fascinating quiet of Cannaregio and a few steps from the hidden streets of Castello, where you can find a less touristy and more authentic Venice.

In the main room, embellished by an ancient wooden ceiling finely decorated by hand and the large glass doors on the Grand Canal, we will be glad to serve you a tasty and sumptuous breakfast that includes homemade pastries, delicious marmalade, assorted cold cuts and cheese, vegetables, eggs and crepes, fruit in season and many other delicacies.
