Hotel Al Ponte Antico

 A tiny middle-market B&B establishment with the privacy and cosiness of a traditional Venetian private home. There is much attention to detail in the communal areas, especially in the overtly decorated breakfast room with its tiny bar to one side.

This property attracts quality seeking guests who prefer a small and intimate canal side base rather than one of the larger and more formal choices.
