Guest House Villa Il Gabbiano is located along Via Panoramica, in one of the quietest areas of Ponza, the main island of the Pontine archipelago in the Tyrrhenian Sea. The surroundings feature the typical white terraced houses overlooking the sea, away from the bustle of the harbour yet reachable within a few minutes. Around the property you can feel the relaxed atmosphere of the island’s guest houses, with alleyways, dry-stone walls and glimpses of blue accompanying every walk.
The nearest beach, Giancos Beach, is about 1.1 km away, while Sant’Antonio Beach and the striking Cala Feola are reached in 1.4 km and 1.8 km respectively, all accessible on foot or with a short scooter ride. The Port of Ponza, the ferry arrival point and the heart of the island’s evening life, is about 3.4 km away. For those arriving from the mainland, Rome Ciampino Airport is the nearest reference point, about 140 km away, with a final connection by ferry or hydrofoil from Formia or Anzio.
Ponza can be visited all year round, but it is between June and September that it offers the best of its coves, also reachable by boat with the numerous rental options available at the port. Don’t miss an excursion to Forte Papa, an old Bourbon fortification about 3 km away, or a seafood dinner at one of the restaurants near the port, such as La Palma or La Pazzaria, both about 1 km from the property. In low season the island becomes quieter, ideal for long walks along the scenic trails and for discovering Chiaia di Luna, one of the most photographed beaches in the Mediterranean.
