This hotel is perfect for a stay in Ponza. Not only is the location the best, the service and hotel property is truly blissful. I have been pleasantly surprised by the level of attention to detail, room views and service from the staff. As a tourist who speaks very little Italian, the hotel was able to quickly organize dinner reservations, full boat trip with lunch and even tickets for the bus that is a few meters away from the hotel. After recently traveling to Almafi coast, Tropea and Sicily, Ponza is my absolute favorite. I will be back before summer ends. The staff makes this property a dream and of course the views!

IF you come to this Island looking to escape the hub-bub of the port- this is the place for you! A 10 minute bus ride away ( comes every 15 minutes) and you reach the hotel that offers spectacular views- a wonderful sunset and a short stroll down to the Natural Pool and beach area. The staff is fantastic. They helped to book a private afternoon boat tour for us the day we arrived. We enjoyed a seaside view with outdoor balcony. Dinner there was delicious with a sunset in the background. We look forward to going back for more than one night!

Hidden jewel

Lucia and the staff were amazing. This is a jewel of a hotel in a secluded and quiet part of the Island of Ponza. Minuets walk down to the natural pools, Wonder restaurants nearby. Perfect for a quiet relaxing low key stay.

Great location - best view!

We had a great stay at hotel Ortensia, the owners and staff were very friendly and helpful. The lady at the front desk spoke excellent english and arranged for us to go on a day boat trip around Ponza Island. This was the best trip we have ever done! We had a great time and would be happy to come back again. The hotel offered everthing we needed + wifi in the reception area.

Great location, friendly folks and convenient. This is on side of island away from busy port, which, for us, made it an ideal location. Be sure to take boat ride from La Beluga and eat at Mauricio's Pizzeria. Breakfast at hotel had great variety. Front desk clerk spoke excellent English. Highly recommend!

Hotel Ortensia, situato a le Forna, in una posizione strategica, vicino alla fermata del bus, a 8 minuti (a piedi) dalle piscine naturali e dalla Caletta e una vista panoramica da toglierti il fiato!!! Per quanto risguarda la nostra esperienza, avevamo solo la prima colazione... stanze buone dotate tutte di aria condizionata, colazione ottima e abbondante...una cosa importante, il personale è veramente cordiale e gentile, ti assistono in tutto, per quanto riguarda noi, hanno prenotato loro per noi tutte le nostre gite guidate e l’ultimo giorno, ci hanno dato la possibilità di sfruttare l’ultimo giorno di mare facendoci usufruire della doccia e dello spoiatoio!! Ci ritornerei subito!!!Lo consiglio vivamente!!!

We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Ortensia!

We stayed four nights at Hotel Ortensia and and really enjoyed our time there. From the moment we arrived we felt super welcomed and the staff in the reception was friendly and helpful. Our double room lived up to the standard room, including AC, small fridge, TV etc. But the most beautiful part was the incredible view from the balcony (which we payed 50€ extra for but nonetheless). Another positive aspect of the location of the hotel was the close distance (walking distance) to The natural pools and other beautiful beaches like La Caletta. We would really recommend staying at Hotel Ortensia for anyone going to Ponza. The only negative aspect of the stay was the standard of the restaurant. Before the trip we had read that the hotel had one of Ponzas best restaurants, and was therefor disappointed of the standard of the service at the restaurant and the lack of dishes (no Tiramisu or Mozarella even if it was on the menu). But in total we had a great time staying at Hotel Ortensia and would love to go back again!
