Il palazzetto Ponza

Palazzetto Ponza will open its doors in Spring 2024. This charming residence of just 6 rooms has been designed for a type of hospitality that embraces discreet luxury. In 2020, the owners purchased the residence in a state of total abandonment, reduced to a ruin, it has been totally restored and rebuilt following the original characteristics of the early 900s.

The conservative restoration involved the interior and façades of the Palazzetto, paying attention to  original archive photos to faithfully reconstruct the dispersed parts with particular care in the choice of the colors of the facades, respecting the original chromatic tones of the Ponza houses. Attention to detail has been paid to restoring the cornices and the ancient railings of the balconies, and in all the rooms the high "dome" vaults typical of the oldest buildings on the island have been preserved.

The Palazzetto Ponza is a place where you can fully enjoy the splendid views of the port and the sea, in the comfort and relaxation of an elegant residence in which the love for the island and the attention to the territory stand out, from which the guest cannot help but get involved for a high-level stay experience.

Activities

Hiking Monte Guardia with wine tasting

Monte Guardia is the highest mountain (mt. 280) of Ponza, from which you can admire the panorama of the entire island, and the other islands of the archipelago. At the top is "the Old Traffic Light," an old Navy building. The traffic light, which was active until the 1950s, had the function of signaling and detecting possible weather changes. We reach the Fanale by taking a charming route that climbs from the center of the village to the mountain through paths and old mule tracks. Along the way stop at one of the island's oldest wine cellars for a tasting of locally produced wines.

Naturwalks, birdwatching and tasting

Punta Incenso is reached by a footpath that can be accessed by reaching (by car, or on foot or by bus) to the northernmost tip of the island, locality Cala Cecata. From here begins the ascent through a picturesque path, which is also good for "bird watching." Once at the top there is a very large plain, where it is possible to walk the length and breadth of the island's wilderness while enjoying a breathtaking 360-degree view of the sea, the island of Ponza, and Palmarola, Zannone and Monte Circeo. Possibility to arrange a stop for lunch or an aperitif in characteristic structure at the top of the plain.

Visit Roman cistern of Dragonara

This is one of Ponza's archaeological treasures. In the center of the island is one of three large cisterns built by the Romans to make up for the scarcity of water resources on the island. A work of engineering, in an excellent state of preservation, consisting of, in addition to the cistern, underground corridors for conveying water.

Palmarola island by boat

Just a few miles from Ponza, reachable by boat with or without a sailor, is the island described by Folco Quilici as the "most beautiful dry land in the world," with its countless coves, caves and the stacks of "Mezzogiorno" all to be explored.

Zannone Island by boat

A few miles from Ponza is Zannone, the northernmost of the Ponzian islands with its blue waters and rich vegetation. The island is uninhabited and has been part of the Circeo Park since 1979. It is possible to organize visits to the island by accessing it by private boat, and upon request of permission, go ashore to discover the natural heritage. Zannone in fact has a rich fauna (with various species of migratory birds, mouflon and other endemic species) and, in addition to the typical vegetation of the so-called Mediterranean scrub, a number of tall trees, including holm oaks. These trees form a real forest in which you can walk through a path that from the lighthouse climbs to the top of the island (Monte Pellegrino at about 190 meters above sea level). Here are the remains of an ancient monastery built in 504 by Benedictine monks and later abandoned because of raids on the island by Saracens. Also visible on the island are the remains of an ancient villa that was inhabited by the Marquis Casati family until the early 1970s.

Island boat tour

By private boat, with or without a sailor, tour of the island with stops at the various coves: Cala Core, the Natural Arch, Cala Gaetano, just to name a few of the coves on the east side of the island; Chiaia di Luna, le Felci, Lucia Rosa, Cala Feola (with its natural pools), on the other hand, are some of the many beautiful coves that follow one after the other along the entire west-facing side of the island.

Aperitivo in barca al tramonto

The coast of Ponza offers enchanting views and inlets, the best way to visit it is in fact from the sea. We organize an aperitif on the boat (a vintage gozzo can be booked on request) to enjoy the wonderful sunset over the sea.

Degustazione prodotti tipici

Ponza has a production of local specialties, from wines to honey. At Il Palazzetto Ponta we organize tastings together with local producers.
