Review of Hotel Ortensia
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 27 July 2018
This hotel is in a fantastic position wth unbelievable views that reminded us of Santorini. The best part of our experince was the people who run it it. From the owners to the customer relatioship desk they were perfect: very positive attitude, always thinking ahead and making you feel that any question or requirement will be taken care. If you read all the reviews that is what comes out of them. We read them, we called, we decided to go at the last moment and it is all true.

The hotel is located outside of Ponza, in a quiet town and it is ideal for famlies. The walk to the beach is short and the daily trips around the island will help you to appreciate Ponza. The hotel features are in line with their rating, the service well beyond it.

We will go back, especially for the people (Lucia was awesome) who just make it a very memorable experience.

If I may add suggestion (not very easy to implement) : a swimming pool would be a superbe addition.

    View, hosts and service was great. Owners always ensured our comfort and helped make calls, bookings, enquiries for us. They recommended great picnic spots and local joints to us. We managed to make friends at a great little local bar a few metres away from the hotel.
    Food spread was nice. Breathtaking room view. Cute little room. Clean and tidy.

    Hotel Ortensia was amazing. A convenient location, a very attentive and helpful staff, and a clean bedroom and bathroom. The view was great from the dining room and the balcony outside our bedroom. Wifi is provided and works well. The staff was extremely accommodating and called to make dinner reservations for us and offered us a variety of food and activity recommendations. Breakfast was served in the dining room with a variety of food to choose from and a coffee bar. The hotel is a very short walk from the bus stop which takes you to all parts of the island for just a few euros. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay again.

    It is a beautiful place that makes you feel to not go back to the everyday life. The hotel has a beautiful view and the comfort is very good. The staff and the owners Giovanna and Daniele are very friendly and professionals.
