This charming residence of just six rooms, located in Località Santa Maria, is one of the oldest buildings on the island of Ponza. Recently undergoing conservative restoration, the Palazzetto has been faithfully reconstructed based on the original archival photos.

At the Palazzetto Ponza it is possible to participate in tastings of typical island products. Local producers take visitors on a journey to discover Ponza's gastronomic treasures through authentic flavors, offering a true immersion in the island's culture and culinary tradition.
Ponza has a production of local specialties ranging from wine, with the "biancolella" variety considered indigenous, to honey, to fresh fish dishes, each bite telling the story of the island's culinary tradition.
Exploring the coast of Ponza reveals enchanting views and wonderful coves, and the best way to discover them is to do so by sea. With a private boat, with or without a sailor, we offer a tour of the island with stops at the most beautiful coves, from Cala Core to Arco Naturale, from Cala Gaetano to Chiaia di Luna, le Felci, Lucia Rosa and Cala Feola with its natural pools, just to name a few. Discover the beauty of Ponza through an unforgettable journey along its breathtaking coastline.
Monte Guardia, Ponza's highest point at 280 meters, provides a spectacular view of the entire island and surrounding archipelago. At the top, stands "the Old Semaphore," an old Navy building, active until the 1950s for signaling and weather monitoring. Along the way is one of the island's oldest wineries.
The hike up to Fanale is a fascinating journey along paths and ancient mule tracks that wind from the center of town to the top of the mountain. Punta Incenso, on the other hand, can be reached via a scenic walking trail from Cala Cecata, the northernmost tip of the island. The trail offers an excellent opportunity for birdwatching. Once at the top, one is immersed in a vast wilderness plain that offers 360-degree panoramic views of the sea and surrounding islands.
In the center of the island is the Dragonara cistern, one of three large Roman cisterns built to ensure a reliable water supply. This structure, still in excellent condition, includes not only the cistern, but also the underground corridors used to convey water.
Just a few miles from Ponza, reachable by boat, lies an island that Folco Quilici called "the most beautiful dry land in the world," with countless coves, caves and the striking stacks of "Mezzogiorno," Palmarola is a paradise to explore.
Zannone, the northernmost of the Ponzian islands, offers crystal-clear blue waters and lush vegetation. Uninhabited and part of the Circeo Park since 1979, the island can be visited by private boat after applying for a permit. A rich natural heritage can be discovered here, such as migratory birds and mouflon. The vegetation includes typical Mediterranean scrub and a forest of holm oaks, crossed by a path that leads from the lighthouse to the top of the island, Monte Pellegrino, about 190 meters above sea level, where there are the remains of an ancient Benedictine monastery, abandoned because of Saracen raids, and those of a villa inhabited until the 1970s by the Marchesi Casati family.
