About La Posta Vecchia Hotel

La Posta Vecchia, prior home to Roman Imperators and Jean Paul Getty, is a luxury hotel 30 minutes from Rome that looks right down onto the sea, within a 15-minute drive of Castello di Palo and Lemon Beach.

This 5-star hotel is 6.5 mi (10.4 km) from Marsh of Torre Flavia and 7.6 mi (12.2 km) from Etruscan Necropolises of Cerveteri. It has 19 rooms, an indoor heated swimming pool, the LPV Health and Beauty Club and the gourmet restaurant The Cesar.

The villa, which dates back to 1640, was built by the Orsini Princes and later sold to the Odescalchi family, who already owned the castle next to it. For many years the family used the building to accommodate guests.

In 1960 it was purchased by Jean Paul Getty, who had the residence restored back to its original splendour, bringing in seventeenth-century furnishings, tapestries and paintings

This is a very unique hotel in Ladispol. It is surrounded by elegant and beautiful grounds but it is very much in a stand alone area with nothing to do apart from relax in the hotel .
The staff are exceptionally helpful . A special shout for Luca the waiter in the restaurant who went over and beyond to make our stay memorable.
The food in the restaurant is delicious including breakfasts and the hotel pride themselves on local produce .
The rooms are dark and it does feel a little like staying in a museum but a luxurious one !
The aircon is also questionable with little control and certainly not reaching the temperature stated .
There are a lot of stone steps so if you are unsteady on your feet beware .
The hotel stands by rules with check out time rigidly adhered to and drinking water limits by the pool but taking all this into consideration, this is a beautiful hotel in a magnificent setting .
The pricing of food and drink reflects a captive audience and did feel expensive ( glass of wine 23€) but the staff , the hotel and its ambience is enough to draw you back .

We loved our stay there. We had the amazing Castello corner Suite with wonderful views and vast, comfortable space filled w age-appropriate antiques. The entire villa and grounds were extraordinary and worthy of Mr Getty's stature.My lady also enjoyed the Spa with a wonderful Cocoon massage from Celia. We also loved the food and being able to dine on the Terrace w the sea rolling in. All in all, a great experience.

The place is Magical

Wonderful accommodations. A plus everything but…The restaurant should have more of an authentic cuisine found in lazio… like real fried zucchini flowers with ricotta not slices zucchini with sauce of ricotta and flowers…if the had simple dishes would of been better.. I didn’t mind spending 25euro for 4 small bocconcini… it was classic with half of a tomato.. fine..i would recommend other restaurants near property … not much variety as well for dinner… as for breakfast, was amazing.

The level of service and attention to guests at this hotel is amazing!!! We came for our honeymoon (7) years ago and returned for our 2nd honeymoon this year…….Early to mid June is very nice…..where else in the States can you truly stay in a restored, historic villa that’s on the Mediterranean next to a castle built in the 1,100’s…..?

The food, photos, relaxation and amenities are 1 of 1……Lord willing we’ll be back for 4-5 nights next time……

Grazie a tutti la squadra De La Posta Vecchia!!!

La Posta Vecchia is one of those very special places that you rarely stumble upon during a lifetime of travel. It is now a very special hotel with a limited number of rooms and is associated with the Leading Hotels of the World brand. We stayed at this absolutely special place in late September when the weather was perfect. The setting right on the Tyrrhenian sea is extraordinary and has been a vacation destination since the time of the romans. La Posta Vecchia was originally built in the 17th century and updated by J. Paul Getty in the 60s when it served as his personal home. It unlike any place we have ever stayed, and the extraordinary staff, food and easy access to central Italy made it one of the most relaxing destinations ever. We did day trips through Italy but were always ready to return for a swim and such wonderful food that we never wanted to dine elsewhere. incredibly special place.

Ethereal Escape

We were completing about a month in the south of France and Italy with a short stay at La Posta Vecchia. We were welcomed graciously by the efficient and well trained staff. The accommodations, interior, grounds of the ancient villa are breathtaking. Exquisite in all details of decor the villa provides a feast for the eye. We do have one criticism however. The entree in the restaurant was disappointing. The waitstaff were all wonderful including the very charming and knowledgeable sommelier. We had ordered the veal Milanese and the pasta with eggplant and both dishes were underwhelming. We are discriminating in both cuisine and restaurant selections so this opinion is not given without experience. The breakfast was fabulous especially enjoying it overlooking the sea.
Highly recommend a most exquisite stay at La Posta Vecchia.

What an incredible hotel and property! You would never imagine you're so close to Rome and FCO. I was afraid it might be a bit stuffy, but I couldn't have been more wrong. The house is indeed full of history and loaded with antiques, but the service and other amenities help make it feel lively, luxurious, and comfortable. Sitting on the terrace overlooking the ocean is a dream.

Amazing hotel- top notch European luxury to a level that is not possible other than in the eternal city. It is built over an ancient villa, so you have an underground exhibit with fabulous original mosaics and many artifacts. Open air dining was out of this world. JPaul Getty used to stay here. You will feel like him, at least while staying there

Chic and Transportive Villa Experience

Staying at the Posta Vecchia transports you to life in a different time.... While it has all modern convenience, the grand scale of the property and it's many public spaces makes you feel like you've slipped into a private villa. The indoor/outdoor pool is glamorous and the wrap around terrace provides unobstructed views of the Mediterranean.
