Al Ponte Mocenigo

Al Ponte Mocenigo

The hotel is a small boutique hotel, just off the Grand Canal behind San Stae church. It is in the Santa Croce sestieri or district of Venice, which is not a major tourist area but it is close to Rialto Bridge and access to the Grand Canal makes everything else within quick reach.

We had a junior suite and a double superior room. The rates looked like a steal compared to Rome. The rooms were very spacious, and had a lot of character. They were decorated in 1700s Venetian style. The floor in our junior suite was crazily uneven. When I walked on it, I felt slightly drunk because it caused me to weave. The bed was huge and comfortable and there was a beautiful Murano glass chandelier hanging from the high ceilings. An armoire for our clothes looked like an antique. The room also had a couch roomy enough to sleep on, small tables and chairs, and a desk. Off one corner was a small balcony overlooking the courtyard. Bathrooms were very modern, clean, and spacious. Our room had a Jacuzzi tub which we used to treat our tired feet.

The hotel is small so does not have room service. But breakfast is served in the courtyard each morning (or by the bar when the weather is inclement). For breakfast, you can help yourself cereals, granola bars, fruit, juice, and yoghurt and you are served coffee and warm croissants or toast.

As well, there is a small bar off the reception area where you can get drinks or coffee in the afternoon and evenings. We sat in the courtyard and sipped on beer one afternoon after we took an unscheduled walk around almost all of Venice trying to find our way back to the hotel.

We loved the reception area which has a door which opens onto the canal. One morning, there were deliveries being loaded off a small boat into the reception area.

The owners are extremely helpful and friendly. The hotel is a wonderful place that deserves the high ratings it gets. You can get information and make reservations from the hotel’s website at: www.alpontemocenigo.com.
