Il Rifugio del Pescatore is a guest house with a terrace located in Ponza, in the Pontine Islands, about 200 metres from both Sant’Antonio Beach and the Port of Ponza.
The property is aimed mainly at couples looking for a quiet stay close to the sea: it’s no coincidence that reviews from couples particularly praise the location, considered among the most central on the island.

The area around the property is the liveliest part of Ponza, with restaurants, bars and pastry shops within a few minutes’ walk.

The Double Room with Balcony covers 30 square metres and can accommodate up to three people, making it suitable for both couples and small groups needing more space than the island’s average guest houses offer.
The room is equipped with a private bathroom with bathtub or shower, bidet, hairdryer and toilet, as well as a wardrobe, fridge and desk for those who want a dedicated corner for work or reading. The balcony offers a quiet view over the inner street, away from the harbour traffic, while the availability of a fan and air conditioning ensures a good level of comfort even in the hottest months. Sheets and towels can be requested for a fee for those travelling light.

The property is entirely non-smoking and offers daily housekeeping, as well as an on-site mini-market useful for those who don’t want to travel far for everyday shopping. There is also a shared terrace, ideal for enjoying the island’s summer evenings.
Pets are allowed, with a surcharge per night, a detail that makes the property a practical choice for those travelling with their dog or cat. Sheets and towels are available for a fee for those who prefer not to bring their own from home.
Il Rifugio del Pescatore is located in the heart of Ponza, along Corso Carlo Pisacane, the main street connecting the harbour to the rest of the town. This is the liveliest area of the island, with shops, bars and restaurants open late in the summer months, and at the same time just steps from the sea: Sant’Antonio Beach is about 200 metres away, as is the Port of Ponza, the arrival point for ferries from Formia, Anzio and Terracina.
For those arriving by car or plane, Rome Ciampino Airport is about 144 km away, a distance that also includes the ferry crossing to reach the island. A few metres from the property are also Pasticceria Napoletana, just 10 metres away, and Ristorante Punta Bianca, 40 metres away, convenient for breakfast or dinner without needing a car.
Ponza is well suited both to those seeking the sea and to those who want to explore the island on foot or by boat. In the summer months, excursions to Cala Feola, about 2.8 km away, and Giancos Beach, 350 metres away, are very popular, both appreciated for their crystal-clear waters. For those who enjoy historic walks, Forte Papa, an old Bourbon fortification, is 3.6 km away and offers a panoramic view of the island. In the low season, the island becomes a quieter destination, ideal for those seeking a slower pace and small fishing villages to explore at leisure.
