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

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

Concierge "On a busy calle in the San Polo district, this six-room charmer is one of the most attractive of a crop of new Venetian B&Bs."
Fodor's "If eclectic Venetian charm is what you seek, this luminous residence offers six individually decorated rooms, each with its own original, theatrically themed fresco by a local artist." Full review
Time Out "A scruffy entranceway and a steep climb (there's no lift) lead to Francesca Adilardi's charming third-floor apartment, which has six tastefully decorated bedrooms." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"A short hop from the Rialto markets, in an area buzzing with restaurants and residential activity, the six-room La Villeggiatura is an elegant home-from-home kind of place." Full review
Lonely Planet "Barbara and Francesca’s ebullient personalities are on display in this charming B&B where six large, light-filled rooms are decorated with verve around different opera themes." Full review
