Independent hotels in Ponziane Islands, Italy

"We stayed at the hotel 1 day before they were closing for the winter season. The weather was beautiful. We had the whole hotel to ourselves and the service we experienced was fantastic. The nearby restaurants are better than the hotel kitchen, but cant complain at all. Excellent part of Italy and less crowded than further down the coast."

"This hotel is clean and lovely. It is not plush, but is simple and bright. Lovely tiled floors throughout the lobby and the rooms. Our ocean view was wonderful, and the patio where breakfast is served and where one can have a drink in the evening also has a spectacular view. The staff is pleasant and helpful. I would recommend this property to others. It is also very well situated- you can walk to everything (although be aware that the island is very hilly!). The hotel offers a service to help you bring your luggage down to the port. "

"Well, people really nice, limited food for breakfast, dirty launch"

"It is a place to be"

"Beautiful hotel with beautiful staff, chef was excellent "

"The hotel has fantastic views on the harbour and close to Cala Rossano Beach. Also close to town and archeological areas. The hosts - Signora Maria and Signor Antonio - are great and try to accommodate different needs. The restaurant is excellent and the views on the terrace superb. Mr Antonio will wait for you at the port and will allow you to leave your luggage so that you can take the 5 minutes walk to the hotel without having to carry heavy luggage around. "

"Our stay at Cala di Inferno was perfection. It was spacious for our group of 6, air conditioning was strong and kept up with the heat of the summer, and the view was spectacular. Our hosts Gaetano and Giuseppina were kind and helpful. Their communication was excellent throughout our stay, organising boat excursions, restaurant recommendations and bookings, transport and even a birthday cake for our daughter delivered to the alfresco kitchen before she woke up. Beyond expectations for a host, and in itself worth a 5 star review.La Forna, which is a short taxi from the port is like a quiet village with everything you need (cafe/bar, restaurants, pizzerias, grocery markets etc). We were very happy with our decision to be in La Forna as it felt like being a local and a lot less touristic. We only hope we can return one day, and certainly recommend anyone coming to ponza to stay here. "
