Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

There were about 20 other people here during our visit so it felt quite and peaceful. We arrived on a hire boat and had plenty of help from the staff when we moored. Mooring was free which was a nice surprise. We had lunch which was simple but enjoyable.

Joining the seaside is not easy in Ponza. Few sand spots and quite crowded.
It's easy to join Cala Fonte, by foot, bus or car, and just some steps to be on the water.
You just have to cross a small canal with 'Caronte' and you are on a rock with very easy access to water, even for people afraid of rocky water.
The water is just beautiful and the seabed interesting for snorklers.
Better to rent a deck chair, as the rocks are sharp.

A breathtaking spot but it is fenced off (in lousy Italian style) but we climbed over it and had a nice swim. There was a local warning us for medusas (jellyfish) but we didn't encounter any. Beautiful spot to watch the sunset. Almost nobody around.

We spent a nice day at Cala Fonte. You get there by taking a bus from porto(approx. 30 min). The water is amazing! Clear and blue with some caves and lots to see.
The only thing that bothered me was that there were only rocks to lay on - no beach! They were very uncomfortable and sharp if you did not want to rent a lounger.
Also when getting into the water there were quite a few sharp rocks. Bring watershoes!
Still a trip worth it!!!!

With the motorbike we arrive right next to the staircase that takes you down to this wonderful cove. Crystal clear water, Mediterranean vegetation behind you and 3 bars and a restaurant where you can enjoy yourself!
2 sunbeds + umbrella €30
Bar arriving last on the right €27
2 beers, seaweed pancakes, octopus and rocket sandwich. Beautiful cove!

Beautiful sea and swimming in it is a spectacle. You can get there with the scouter and by climbing some stairs. The kiosk manager is funny and makes fantastic cocktails. To visit

SeconDo me pablino sbagli in quanto a cala fonte c,è il sole fino al tramonto, e non fino alle 17 e 30, poi non sono cento gradini ma 39, e non è situata vicino alle piscine ma molto più lontana, secondo me ti sei confuso con cala feola, cmq ragazzi non mancate a dei tramonti mozzafiato e delle persone gentilissimi e accoglienti che vi accolgono.
