Room types

The rooms at Luci del Mari share air conditioning, a private bathroom with shower, a minibar and a coffee machine, a complete set designed for self-catering stays in the centre of Ponza. The range includes five room types ranging from 14 to 28 square metres, suitable for both couples and families of up to four people.

The main differences concern the outlook and layout of the spaces: some Deluxe Double rooms offer a balcony or terrace with sea view, others favour a town view or a quiet inner street. The Family Room, the largest at 28 square metres, can accommodate up to four guests with single beds and an extra-large double bed, while the more compact options remain ideal for two people looking for a simple, functional base just steps from the port.

Location & what to see

Luci del Mari is located in the heart of Ponza’s historic centre, just steps from Piazza Carlo Pisacane, the island’s main square where bars, restaurants and shops are concentrated. This is the liveliest and busiest area of Ponza, perfect for those who want to get around on foot without relying on a car, amid colourful houses and typical alleys of the Pontine Islands.

Ponza’s port is just 40 metres from the property, a huge advantage for those arriving or departing by hydrofoil or ferry from Formia, Anzio or Terracina. Sant’Antonio Beach is 350 metres away, while Giancos Beach can be reached in about 500 metres; Cala Feola, one of the island’s most photographed bays, is 2.8 km away. The nearest airport is Rome Ciampino, 144 km away, reachable by combining a ferry with an overland transfer.

For meals, just steps from the property you’ll find Spaccio Birra, Pizzeria Ponzese and Buco Divino, all within 50 metres, as well as spots for aperitifs such as Bar Tripoli and Terrazze Chiaia di Luna with sea views. In summer the island comes alive with boat trips to the most secluded coves and the Faraglioni di Lucia Rosa, while in quieter months you can walk the scenic trails towards Forte Papa, 3.6 km away, an old Bourbon fortification overlooking the coast.
