Il Palazzetto Ponza

Isola di Ponza | Lazio

Palazzetto Ponza opened in the spring of 2024. This six-room residence, in Località Santa Maria, is one of the oldest buildings on the island of Ponza. Recently restored, the building was faithfully reconstructed based on original archival photographs: the façade was returned to the typical colours of Ponza's houses, and the rooms retain their characteristic domed vaults.

Each room has its own distinct décor, with high-quality materials chosen to respect the building's original architectural style. Sea views reach much of the residence.

Breakfast, made with local products, is served on the terrace overlooking the sea. From here, guests can easily reach the island's main attractions, from unspoiled beaches to sea caves, and the residence's staff arrange tailored excursions to discover Ponza's most striking corners.

Staying at Palazzetto Ponza means living an authentic experience in an environment that combines history, culture and luxury. Each guest is welcomed with warmth and professionalism to ensure an unforgettable stay in comfort and beauty.

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.

BOATEXCURSION

Island of Palmarola and Zannone by boat

Just a few miles from Ponza, reachable by boat, lies an island that Folco Quilici called "the most b ... eautiful 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.
