Hotel Gennarino A Mare

On Ponza’s Sant’Antonio beach, perched above the ancient Bourbon port and a short walk from the ferry docks and central square. A beachfront, pet-friendly spot with direct access to the port and easy walks to La Cisterna Romana della Dragonara and Chiesa dei Santi Silverio e Domitilla.

A small, family-run hotel from the 1950s with one building over three levels and a characteristic stilt house suspended over the sea. Twelve Mediterranean-style sea-view rooms, each with a balcony, air conditioning, minibar, Sky TV, safe and private bathroom. Bright, cosy lobby and a renovated restaurant terrace right over the water.

Direct beach access and a private dock for motorboats or sailboats up to 18 m, with night guardian service and utilities. On-site diving club, tour desk for excursions, bar and terrace dining. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and step straight into Ponza’s harbor life. Public car park about 30 m away. Small pets welcome.

Free Wi‑Fi throughout the hotel, concierge, reception and room service; a small lobby with TV area for low-key work or downtime.

Italian breakfast with fresh home-made pastries and cakes. The on-site restaurant — including a romantic stilt-house terrace — serves à la carte Mediterranean dishes and traditional Ponza specialties with a thoughtful wine list. The restaurant is open to outside guests and has direct access from the private dock.
