PonzaSmeralda Le Forna is located in Le Forna, the most isolated and green hamlet on the island of Ponza, away from the bustle of the port and the historic centre. The area retains an authentic character, made up of low houses, cultivated terraces and sea views, with the beach reachable directly from the property without needing transport.
The Port of Ponza, the main link with the mainland, is about 7.6 km away and can be reached by local minibuses or by car along the provincial road. In the immediate surroundings there are a few useful addresses for meals, such as Ristorante Così Com’Era Ponza just 50 metres away and Silvio Pizza-Bar Nuovo at 450 metres, while at 750 metres you can visit Forte Papa, an old fortification with a view of the coast. Those arriving from the mainland can rely on Rome Ciampino Airport, 151 km away, before boarding for the island.
The Le Forna area is the starting point for some of Ponza’s most striking beaches: Cala Feola, with its natural pools carved into the rock, is about 2 km away, while Spiaggia di Giancos and Spiaggia di Sant’Antonio, more isolated and also reachable by boat, are 3.9 and 4.1 km away respectively. In summer the area comes alive with swimming and boat trips along the island’s western coast, while in spring and autumn it lends itself to walks along the scenic paths between Le Forna and Cala Feola, away from the peak tourist crowds of the central months.
