Pensione Silvia Santa Marì is a 2-star hotel in Ponza, just 400 metres from Giancos Beach, with a restaurant, bar and views over the town. The property occupies a quiet position along Via Spiaggia Santa Maria, close to the harbour and the heart of the village, yet set back from the main promenade.
The rooms, all air-conditioned and equipped with private bathroom and free WiFi, differ mainly in view and outdoor space: some overlook the sea directly with a balcony, others face the garden or the village skyline, while others still have their own terrace. Room types range from single to triple, suited both to solo travellers and families.
Breakfast, when requested, is served in continental, Italian, vegetarian, gluten-free or buffet style. The shared terrace is the guesthouse’s strongest feature, particularly appreciated by couples, who rated the location 9.6. The port of Ponza is 1.4 km away, while Rome Ciampino Airport is 145 km away.
The seven room types at Pensione Silvia Santa Marì share the same basic features: air conditioning, wardrobe, private bathroom with shower, bidet and hairdryer, plus complimentary toiletries. On this common base, the main differences build in, mostly linked to view and outdoor space: some rooms look directly onto the sea with a balcony, others face the inner garden or the village skyline, while the Single Room with Terrace has its own outdoor space.
The range covers different needs, from single accommodation to a triple room for families of up to four people. Beds vary between large double, French double and single, often combinable on request. The sea-view rooms, particularly the Deluxe and the Deluxe Triple, remain the most requested for those seeking a direct view over the water during their stay in Ponza.

The only room type at the guesthouse with a private terrace in addition to a balcony, ideal for solo travellers who want their own outdoor space. The private bathroom includes shower, bidet and hairdryer, with complimentary toiletries.

The Chiaia di Luna Terraces, about 1 km away, offer one of the island’s most photographed sunsets. In the quieter months, Forte Papa, 3.1 km away, and the coastal paths allow for panoramic walks away from the summer crowds, while the harbour remains the starting point for boat trips to the nearby caves and islets.
