Hotel Al Ponte Mocenigo - Venice, Italy     

Book this little gem of a hotel and you won't be disappointed!! On arrival into Venice as you come through customs look left and you will find the ACTV desk which is were you need to purchase your 12/24/48 hours travel pass for the bus/vaporetti you will need for your stay in Venice. Leave the desk and walk outside and take the number 5 bus which is from the second row. The number five bus takes you to Pizzale Bus station which link you up with the popular number 1 Vaporetti which will take you into Venice. The stop you will need for Al Ponte Mocenigo is San Stea which is the fourth stop on the number one. From the airport to the hotel it takes about 40 mins. If money is no object then take the water taxi but it's 95€ and as the Vaporetti is so easy I would take it everytime. We arrived at the Al Ponte Mocenigo and found it easily after you get off at the stop walk to the left and you will see a little bridge this is the entance. The rooms were lovely and the staff are so friendly. We arrived and I had already asked Sandro to book us a table at a restaurant called the Vini Da Gigio which I heard some great things about on Tripadvisor, he had made the reservation and directed us there easily. What we hadn't known before we went is that Venice is so small and getting about is so easy, The restaurant was excellent and again the followig night Sandro had booked us into another restaurant close by called La Zucca another lovely choice. Breakfast is lovely warm coisants and cereal with gorgeous coffee. Nothing it seems is too much for the staff here and they welcome you to leave your bags with them on the last day after you have checked out which is 11am. Everything is close by even though on the map it isn't it really is only 10 minutes to St Marc square and the Rialto Bridge. I wouldn't stay anywhere else and I am already booking for September. Have a great time.

Our family enjoyed 3 nights at the Hotel al Ponte Mocenigo earlier this month. We were given room 10 as there were 4 of us and there was plenty of room . The decor is very "shabby chic" with highly decorated furnishings and ceilings. The bathroom was very modern and there was plenty of hot water. My yougest son found the sloping floor highly amusing. The hotel gave us very clear directions and we easily found the hotel from the water vaperetto. Sandro was very attentive and always available with information regarding day trips, restaurants etc. Being winter the courtyard was not used and everyone had breakfast downstairs on up in the first floor. There was plenty of food provided at breakfast with cereal, yoghurt, fruit, croissants, breadrolls, cappacinos and hot chocolate. Thank you to all the staff who made our stay a memorable one.
