Luci del Mari is a guest house in Ponza, located just 40 metres from the port and 400 metres from Sant’Antonio Beach, in the heart of the island’s busiest area. The property is designed for those seeking a convenient base to explore Ponza on foot, with restaurants, bars and shops reachable within a few minutes.
The rooms, all with air conditioning and a private bathroom with shower, differ in size and features: some overlook the sea with a balcony or terrace, others offer views of the town or a quiet inner street. Every room is equipped with a minibar, coffee machine, wardrobe and a set of bed linen and towels, for a practical stay even without structured dining services.
Location is the feature most appreciated by guests, with a score of 9.7 given by couples: Ponza’s port is practically on the doorstep, while Giancos Beach and Cala Feola are reachable within a few minutes on foot or by boat. The nearest airport, Rome Ciampino, is 144 km away, connected via ferry and then by land.
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.

Larger than the identically named 14 sqm Deluxe rooms, this 20 square metre version adds a single bed and can accommodate up to three people, while keeping the balcony with sea view and private bathroom with shower.
Unlike the Deluxe rooms, this option overlooks a quiet inner street rather than the sea, offering more peace and quiet. A private bathroom with shower, bidet and toiletry set complete the room.
