Hotel Torre Dei Borboni is a 3-star property in Ponza, housed partly in the old Bourbon Tower and partly in a newly built wing overlooking the island’s bay. The 48 rooms and suites are decorated in warm colours with a understated Mediterranean style, while some suites in the tower are arranged over two levels with period furniture.
All accommodations feature air conditioning, TV and a private bathroom with shower; most rooms in the new building look out over the bay of Ponza and the ruins of the Villa of Augustus, with glimpses of orchards and vineyards. Room types range from the economy double room to the penthouse in the tower, a 140 sqm apartment with a fireplace and several separate bedrooms, designed for large families or groups.
Breakfast is an Italian buffet, and the property offers a 24-hour front desk, a sun terrace, a garden and a pool area with a bar. The area, among the liveliest in Ponza, is especially popular with couples, who rate the location 9.2: beaches, restaurants and the harbour are all within a few minutes’ walk.
The rooms at Hotel Torre Dei Borboni are split between those housed in the old Bourbon Tower and those in the more recent building, but all share air conditioning, TV, a private bathroom with shower and a hairdryer. Sizes range from 11 sqm in the Economy room to 22 sqm in the family options, up to 140 sqm in the penthouse with a fireplace and four separate bedrooms.
Many room types overlook the sea or the bay of Ponza, while others face the inner courtyard or the quiet street. Couples can choose between the classic Double room and the one with a sea view, while families will find triple and family solutions combining a double bed with single beds. The Suite with Sea View, featuring a wardrobe and heating, and the Penthouse in the Tower, with a panoramic terrace and kitchenette, are the largest and most independent options in the property.
A standard room in the property, with TV, telephone and an en-suite bathroom with shower. It’s the simplest of the double rooms, without a sea view, designed for those looking for an essential base in the historic centre of Ponza.
The same size as the classic Double room, but with a view over the bay of Ponza making the difference. TV, telephone and a bathroom with shower complete a room ideal for couples who want to wake up with a sea view.
Larger than the double rooms, at 22 sqm and with capacity for four people thanks to two single beds paired with the double bed. The view over the bay of Ponza sets it apart from the twin version located in the tower.
Identical in size and bed configuration to the Family Room with Sea View, but located in the old Bourbon Tower, overlooking the inner courtyard rather than the sea: a more intimate choice for those seeking the building’s historic charm.
The most compact room type in the property, at 11 sqm, but still with a sea view: a queen-size bed, TV and telephone make it suitable for those who prioritise price without giving up the view.
Designed for three people, combining a large double bed and a single bed across 18 sqm. Compared to the sea-view version, this room faces the interior, making it quieter.
The same layout as the Triple Room, with the same mix of a double bed and a single bed, but with the addition of a view over the bay of Ponza, the true distinguishing feature of this room type.
The largest accommodation in the hotel, with 140 sqm spread across four separate bedrooms and two bathrooms, designed for groups or large families of up to 8 people. The fireplace, the full kitchenette and the terrace with views over the sea and the town make it unique compared to all the other room types in the property.
Hotel Torre Dei Borboni offers a 24-hour front desk, concierge service, luggage storage and daily housekeeping, along with a tour desk that’s useful for organising trips to the island’s beaches and caves. Outdoors there is a sun terrace, a garden and an outdoor pool area with a bar and sun loungers, ideal for relaxing between excursions.
For meals, the property offers an on-site coffee shop, a snack bar and the option to enjoy wine and champagne, in addition to the Italian buffet breakfast. Rooms are equipped with air conditioning, heating, a private bathroom with shower and hairdryer, a wardrobe and a TV with internet connection, while guests travelling with family will find several room options with multiple beds. A safe, fire extinguishers and a smoke alarm complete the property’s safety features.
Hotel Torre Dei Borboni is located on Salita della Madonna, in the heart of Ponza’s historic centre, just a few steps from the harbour and the island’s main streets. The area, among the liveliest and most frequented in town, blends colourful houses, small shops and venues overlooking the sea, with the Bourbon Tower dominating the building’s profile from the moment you arrive at the harbour.
From the property, Sant’Antonio Beach is a roughly 500-metre walk away and Giancos Beach is 700 metres away, while the more famous Cala Feola, one of the island’s most photographed coves, is about 2.7 km away. For meals, the restaurant Il Pacchero da Rita is just 100 metres away, along with several bars and evening venues within 200-750 metres. Forte Papa, an old Bourbon fortification with views over the island, is about 3.4 km away and is one of the most interesting destinations for a longer walk.
Ponza is visited above all for the sea: in high season, boat trips to the caves, the sea stacks and the bay of Chiaia di Luna are the most sought-after activity, and the property’s tour desk can help organise personalised tours. Those who prefer to stay on land can walk to the panoramic terraces above Chiaia di Luna, popular for sunset views, or take walks along the coastal paths connecting the island’s various coves. In low season, when tourist numbers drop, Ponza keeps its authentic character as a fishing village, with the harbour as the main gathering spot for an evening stroll or a seafood dinner.
