As relaxed as it looks
We had a fantastic time, as a family of four, staying with wonderful hosts Gaetano and Giuseppina. The property is scrupulously clean. The pictures are accurate. Congregating takes place in the ample outside areas that are surrounded by beautiful flowers (carefully tended to be the hosts). The kitchen is very nice - separate from the main sleeping accommodation. An outside seated dining area is adjacent (with great views). And then there is more than one area to just sit and admire the view. Our kids are 11 and 13 years old. We likely spent less time outside, in the evening, just chatting than we might have, if we'd been with an all adult group. Mosquitos are the only culprit, appearing in the evenings. This is true of many wonderful spots that we visit in Italy in summer time. In the main sleeping area, there are two very nice bathrooms and three ample sized bedrooms, plus a room with a single bed. There were tvs in each of these rooms. The views look down on one particular bay that is today only accessible by boat. The property is actually one of three on the lot. There are three living areas, on different levels, within the core building. Each then has its own set of gardens. The design is very well done. This is the uppermost property. The owners live in the middle. And there is another rental on bottom. There is a lot of privacy - but you are not isolated. Having the owners downstairs was more of a plus than a minus. They absolutely gave us our space and were available if we had a need (e.g. ensuring a taxi showed up at 6 a.m. to get us to the ferry). There is some good swimming within 10-15 minutes walking. These are accessed by climbing down steps. These spots include the famed Natural Piscine. You can rent beach equipment there if you want, or just climb into the water. These are really rocks, rather than sand beaches. And they are very fun. The water is magnificent. The bus to the main port (Ponza or Porto) runs from within yards from outside this rental property. It allows you to get up and down the island very quickly. Beyond the port, Forna is the main other area for visitors to stay on the island. It's a nice spot. There are some restaurants. We explored walking further north and found some great spots. Summary: this island and this property are about relaxation. The property is as it looks. Coming back to Ponza, we would love to return to this property.
