"Situated between Rome and Naples, Ponza felt delightfully under the radar with brightly painted houses clinging to cliffs above a bustling harbor, scented trails that wind to hidden bays and coves, and easy access to the stunning Spiaggia di Frontone by taxi boat." - Nicky Swallow Nicky Swallow Nicky Swallow is a freelance travel writer who has lived in Florence, Italy for the past three decades.

"The largest of the Pontine Islands, reached by roughly a 90-minute ferry from several mainland ports, whose relative distance has helped it retain an air of exclusivity. Long favored by well-heeled Italians who prefer vacation rentals and alfresco fried seafood over five-star resorts and haute dining, the island’s beaches and beach bars can become busy in July and August—making shoulder-season visits appealing for those who want to observe local daily routines more quietly." - Elizabeth Heath Elizabeth Heath Elizabeth Heath is a writer and editor living on a hill in Umbria, from where she writes about travel in Italy, the rest of Europe, and farther afield.

"There’s also Il Pacchero Da Rita, right on the shore of Ponza’s harbor, which serves absolutely delicious food and is run by Rita herself."
