Frommer's "This is an excellent slice of old Venice at a fraction of the usual Venice cost. It's just a block up from the priciest real estate of the Riva degli Schiavoni, but you'd never know it." Full review
Lonely Planet "The real luxury is the classic Venetian salone (great room) garlanded with 18th-century stucco, where breakfast is served and cushy chairs make for rainy-day cosiness." Full review
DK Eyewitness "La Residenza started life as a 14th-century palazzo built in the Venetian Gothic style. Restored in 2001, the bedrooms are now elegant and comfortable with period furnishings."
Rough Guide "This fourteenth-century palazzo is a low-budget gem (in Venetian terms), occupying much of one side of a quiet square just off the main waterfront."
Time Out "Occupying the first and second floors of a grand if rather faded Gothic palazzo, La Residenza possesses a genteel old-fashioned air and offers great value for money." Full review
Fodor's "Most rooms at this renovated Gothic-Byzantine palazzo are spacious and elegant, with imitation period furnishings and 18th-century paintings as well as modern amenities." Full review

You'll need to book well ahead to secure one of the seven rooms or suites in this extremely popular hotel.
Fodor's "This 16th-century palace inn has lined its Gothic windows with tiny white lights, creating an inviting glow that's emblematic of the hospitality and sumptuous surroundings that await you inside." Full review
Rough Guide "This extremely plush four-star residenza, a few metres upstream of the Rialto Bridge, is one of the best small hotels in the city."
Time Out "In a 16th-century palazzo on the Grand Canal, with views over the Rialto bridge, Al Ponte Antico's exquisite little balcony overlooks the water, as do some doubles and suites." Full review
OysterUpscale
"Guests get plenty of personal attention at this intimate, family-managed property, and the free breakfast includes homemade pastries, crepes, eggs, fruit, and cold cuts." Full review
Lonely PlanetTop choice
"A smiling host greets you at the padded, golden reception desk and whisks you up large, unabashedly lavish rooms with enough gilt to satisfy Louis XIV." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"A joyful pastiche of Venetian style both in its bedrooms...and in the central living room which gives on to a delightful balcony with a view over the Grand Canal and bridge." Full review
Afar Magazine "We've stayed at the Hotel Al Ponte Antico now three times, and love it for the staff and location but the highlight is the patio: sitting out and having cappuccini in the morning and wine at sunset." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Once you recover from the surprise that staff magically knows your first name from the moment you arrive, you’ll be bowled over by the décor." Full review
Frommer's "Yes it’s expensive, but this is one of the most exclusive hotels in Venice, steps from the Rialto Bridge, with a private wharf on the Grand Canal—to indulge your James Bond fantasy, look no further" Full review
