Il Capriccio Guesthouse is a bed and breakfast in Ponza, Lazio, about 200 metres from Sant’Antonio Beach and 500 metres from the island’s port.
The property offers six room types, from the compact 12-square-metre single to the 34-square-metre quadruple, all with independent entrance, private bathroom with shower, bidet and courtesy set, air conditioning, wardrobe and safe. The bed combination varies from room to room, including sofa beds, single beds and large and extra-large double beds, making the guesthouse suitable for both solo travellers and families or small groups.
Guests have access to a garden with terrace, daily housekeeping and luggage storage, and can start the day with an Italian breakfast. The location, in the most sought-after area of Ponza, is among the most appreciated strengths: couples in particular have rewarded the proximity to the sea and the centre with very high scores. A good choice for those who want to move around on foot between beaches, restaurants and the port without relying on a car.
The six room types at Il Capriccio Guesthouse share amenities designed for a comfortable summer stay in Ponza: private bathroom with shower, bidet and courtesy set, air conditioning, independent entrance, wardrobe and safe. Sizes range from 12 square metres in the single room to 34 square metres in the quadruple, covering different needs, from solo travellers to those travelling with family or a small group.
The bed configuration changes significantly from one room to another: from the sofa bed paired with the large double bed in the triple, to the multiple single beds in the quadruple, up to the extra-large double bed in the most romantic double room. The Double Room with Twin Beds also offers two alternative configurations, so guests can choose between a double bed or two single beds depending on their preferences, a useful detail for mixed groups or families with different needs.
A 26-square-metre triple room with independent entrance, ideal for three travellers thanks to the sofa bed paired with the large double bed. It has a private bathroom with shower, bidet and courtesy set, plus a wardrobe and safe to store personal belongings securely.
Second variant of the 26-square-metre triple, with a single bed next to the large double bed instead of the sofa bed: a solution better suited to those who prefer two separate beds rather than a sofa bed. Private bathroom, air conditioning and independent entrance complete the amenities.
The largest of the available rooms, at 34 square metres, with three beds that can accommodate up to four people: two singles plus a large double bed. Perfect for families or groups of friends who want to share the same space without giving up a private bathroom and air conditioning.
The most compact room in the property, 12 square metres designed for a single guest travelling light. Despite its smaller size, it still features a private bathroom, air conditioning and independent entrance, with the same attention to detail as the larger rooms.
The only room in the property with a choice of two bed configurations: a large double bed or two separate single beds. At 18 square metres, it is designed for two people who want flexibility, ideal for couples or those travelling with a companion.
A 24-square-metre double room with an extra-large double bed, the best choice for a couple looking for extra room in bed. Private bathroom with shower and courtesy set, air conditioning and independent entrance complete an accommodation designed for relaxation.
Il Capriccio Guesthouse offers guests a garden with terrace, ideal for enjoying Ponza’s summer evenings outdoors, along with daily housekeeping and luggage storage for those arriving before check-in or leaving after check-out. All rooms have an independent entrance, air conditioning and marble or tiled floors, with heating for off-season stays.
Each room is equipped with a private bathroom complete with shower, bidet, hairdryer, bed linen and complimentary bathroom products, as well as a wardrobe or closet and a refrigerator. Internet access is available free of charge throughout the property, while non-smoking rooms and family room availability make the guesthouse suitable for guests travelling with children.
The Italian breakfast, served every morning, completes an offering designed for those who want to experience Ponza with maximum convenience, without moving away from the centre and the nearest beaches.
Il Capriccio Guesthouse is located in the most sought-after area of Ponza, a few steps from the famous Chiaia di Luna Beach and about 200 metres from Sant’Antonio Beach, where the island’s alleys blend with bars, restaurants and small local businesses open mainly during the summer months. The area is pedestrian for most of its length, making it easy to walk between the accommodation, the sea and the town centre.
The port of Ponza, the arrival point for ferries from Formia and Anzio, is about 500 metres from the property, while Rome Ciampino Airport, the nearest air link, is 145 km away. Within a few hundred metres there are several places to have lunch or dinner, such as Il Melograno just 50 metres away and Il Rifugio dei Naviganti at 100 metres, as well as bars like Bar Tripoli at 500 metres for a drink with a view.
Those staying here can dedicate their summer days to the island’s most famous beaches, reaching Cala Feola in about 2.9 km or discovering more hidden coves by boat. For those who love history and walks, Forte Papa, the island’s ancient fortification, is reachable in about 3.8 km. In the cooler months, the area is well suited to scenic walks along the coastal paths and to exploring the caves and sea stacks that characterise Ponza’s coastline.
