Hotel Villaggio Dei Pescatori

The location was fantastic just above the natural pools with the water so vividly blue and clear. Our room had a little landing with chairs and a table overlooking the sea. The room was very comfortable and clean, great shower. We enjoyed a lovely seafood lunch at the hotel restaurant. The shuttle bus was a great service they picked us up from the port and dropped us back for dinner, although the islands bus service is not too bad either.

Separate from the hotel, we had difficulties getting from anzio to ponza. A boat had landed, so they were all booked out We were later informed that the boats from Terracina are more reliable. The hotel were most helpful in allowing us to stay longer on our final day, seeing it was only a weekend trip and we had lost a night. There aircon was not working although in june the rooms were quite cool. There was a problem as I had booked the shuttle bus early to do some shopping before taking the ferry. Another girl with blonde hair who spoke english asked to change times and thinking she was me the hotel they changed our time and not hers, so they took our booking off the bus and we had to catch a later one. slightly annoying!

Wonderful staff, very helpful despite not speaking so much english. Tizianno, one of the concierge, was particularly warm and welcoming. Location was on the other side of the island from the main port, an area called La Forna. This was nice because it was quiet and beautiful.
