A beautiful home with amazing al fresco dining and rooftop kitchen. This view cannot be matched. Close enough to amenities of the local shops, but quiet and private. We had a wonderful week with Gaetano and Giuseppina. They were so kind and hospitable. We stayed comfortably across 3.5 air conditioned bedrooms and could not get enough of the space and peace and the view. We will be back. Grazie mille.

Our nine-day independent holiday on the magnificent island of Ponza was a success. After spending some busy days (full of fresh sea-food) in a hotel in Porto, it was time to relax for a week in a tiny village of Le Forna. We chose Villa Inferno which turned out to be a real paradise. No picture on these pages does right to this place. It´s almost impossible to catch a realistic photo of the surroundings and the view. It´s far more stunning than in any photo we saw. The Villa itself is really spacious, modern and spotlessly clean. Me being a half-Pro-cook, enjoyed working in the fully equipped "summer-kitchen" every day. The balconies, stairs and whole interior are all white and full of light. Bathrooms are spacious and working. Air-conditioning in every room. Beds very comfortable. The helpful manager Gaetano with his lovely wife lives somewhere next door, but they let you have your holiday in your own peace. But still instantly reachable by e.g. whatsapp. We stayed with a little, active dog and he was very welcomed as well. There are couple of exciting beaches in a walking distance, but not for those who are afraid of heights. Most of them are kind of cliffs and one is lovely sandy beach with a little romantic sea-food restaurant. The waters are crystal-clear! Even though the communal mini-van services easily run whole day (2€ / trip) through the island, we chose to stay most of the evenings at the village. Hanging in the only, noisy bar. Eating almost every day pizza at the local pizzeria. Very relaxing. No other languages heard than Italian (September-October). The trip and the villa were worth every euro, and we will never forget the view we enjoyed there.

Il posto è meraviglioso e per rendere tutto fantastico ci hanno pensato Gaetano e Giuseppina 2 persone eccezionali capaci di trasformare una semplice vacanza in 7 giorni magici ed indimenticabili Grazieeeeeee ❤️

Casa grande, pulita, comoda, cucina attrezzata con ogni utensile. Ma la cosa che la rende unica è magnifica terrazza su cala inferno. Vista mare da sogno. Ci tornerò sicuramente. Proprietario presente e molto disponibile ad ogni richiesta. Difficile trovare una casa così curata a Ponza. Inoltre bus appena fuori il cancello.

casa posizione eccezionale, taglio ottimo, arredamento eccellente ,proprietari accoglienti e premurosi, insomma soggiorno ottimo e consigliabile

We had a fantastic time, as a family of four, staying with wonderful hosts Gaetano and Giuseppina. The property is scrupulously clean. The pictures are accurate. Congregating takes place in the ample outside areas that are surrounded by beautiful flowers (carefully tended to be the hosts). The kitchen is very nice - separate from the main sleeping accommodation. An outside seated dining area is adjacent (with great views). And then there is more than one area to just sit and admire the view. Our kids are 11 and 13 years old. We likely spent less time outside, in the evening, just chatting than we might have, if we'd been with an all adult group. Mosquitos are the only culprit, appearing in the evenings. This is true of many wonderful spots that we visit in Italy in summer time. In the main sleeping area, there are two very nice bathrooms and three ample sized bedrooms, plus a room with a single bed. There were tvs in each of these rooms. The views look down on one particular bay that is today only accessible by boat. The property is actually one of three on the lot. There are three living areas, on different levels, within the core building. Each then has its own set of gardens. The design is very well done. This is the uppermost property. The owners live in the middle. And there is another rental on bottom. There is a lot of privacy - but you are not isolated. Having the owners downstairs was more of a plus than a minus. They absolutely gave us our space and were available if we had a need (e.g. ensuring a taxi showed up at 6 a.m. to get us to the ferry). There is some good swimming within 10-15 minutes walking. These are accessed by climbing down steps. These spots include the famed Natural Piscine. You can rent beach equipment there if you want, or just climb into the water. These are really rocks, rather than sand beaches. And they are very fun. The water is magnificent. The bus to the main port (Ponza or Porto) runs from within yards from outside this rental property. It allows you to get up and down the island very quickly. Beyond the port, Forna is the main other area for visitors to stay on the island. It's a nice spot. There are some restaurants. We explored walking further north and found some great spots. Summary: this island and this property are about relaxation. The property is as it looks. Coming back to Ponza, we would love to return to this property.

After a stay in a ropey apartment in Rome, I was so happy to arrive at Cala Inferno. Not only are the views great but Giuseppina and Gaetano clearly work hard to look after this property. It was spotless and all the beds were made up beautifully. Good bed linen and towels and even five beach towels for us as requested. The four bedrooms are all a good size and the ensuite bathroom for the master bedroom has a fantastic rainfall shower that I just wasn't expecting. Our kids loved popping to the shops on their own and we all enjoyed the nice walk down to the natural swimming pools. Good choice of restaurants nearby too. Only negative which has nothing to do with the property is the single choice of car rental agency, who charge a lot for laughably battered cars. Next time we'll take taxis or bring our own car. All in all a great apartment with family-friendly and caring owners, grazie mille e speriamo di tornarci presto!
