Ponza: Immortal chic
Federico Fellini loved the cappuccino of the coffee bar "Gildo". Isabella Rossellini climbed into the azure waters in the bay of Chiaia di Luna. And Caroline from Monaco prefers to eat fresh seafood in the restaurant of the hotel "Gennarino a Mare". The island of Ponza has been a refuge for art and culture VIPs since the 1950s and has retained the decadent charm of the post-war Italian years. Bays like the Spiagetta Lucia Rosa and Cala Inferno are not crowded even in summer. Insider tip: simply rent a wooden boat with outboard motor at "Albatros" - and look in peace and quiet for a completely lonely bathing bay.
