Since Ponza is small, it can fill up quickly, so we suggest you try to come on weekdays, preferably avoiding July and August. Your efforts will be rewarded with a stay in an authentic Italian fishing village. Be there at least 30 minutes before departure or you will lose your reservations.
T here are plenty of small hotels on the island, ranging from the expensive to the very rustic.
There are only three rooms in this whitewashed inn above the port. All are simple and comfortable, with colorful tile floors. You can order dinner, prepared and served at a neighbor's house. Be sure to request a taxi to meet you at the hydrofoil. Take the bus from Capri.
