La Posta Vecchia Hotel

Absolutely stunning! La Posta Vecchia is a gorgeous estate right on the water, about 45 minutes outside the center of Rome. It feels like staying in a private castle—elegant, peaceful, and full of charm. The rooms are luxurious, comfortable, and beautifully decorated, with high-end amenities like a great coffee maker and top-quality toiletries. We had a room with an incredible ocean view.

The service is truly outstanding. Antonio, the restaurant manager, went above and beyond to make our stay special and even organized a lovely birthday celebration for my daughters. We used to stay in the city for our last night before flying home, but now this is our go-to. It’s the perfect, restorative end to any Italy trip. Highly recommend!

We only booked a beach day and had lunch at the restaurant. Everyone was SO friendly. The food was actually so good. The private beach was a big plus. Everything nearby is so crowded. Water is included which I love. Thank you for the amazing birthday beach day.
It’s 50 mins from Rome.

A beautiful place to stay before flying from Rome. 30 minutes north of airport. On the coast. Excellent food and service. Will definitely go back!

Combined a lovely location, great staff, incredible views, world class cocktails and a lunch that was to die for. Party had the truffle risotto as a starter followed by sea bass and beef - if was all excellent! Well worth flying there for lunch from london !

La Posta Vecchia is a true hidden gem just 45 minutes outside the center of Rome, and it’s become our go-to for the perfect end to our Italy trips. Set on the water, this stunning estate feels more like staying in someone’s private castle than a hotel. The rooms are beautifully appointed—elegant, luxurious, and incredibly comfortable—with top-tier amenities like a high-end coffee maker and plush toiletries. Our room had breathtaking views of the ocean, adding to the peaceful, restorative vibe of the entire stay. The service is simply impeccable. Antonio, the restaurant manager, made our stay especially memorable by organizing a beautiful birthday celebration for my daughters—his attention to detail and warmth elevated the entire experience. We used to stay in the city center for our last night, but now La Posta Vecchia is our luxurious, serene tradition. It's the perfect finale to any Italian holiday. Highly recommend.

On the sea in an unusual touristic location, this hotel is worth visiting for its building and history Build 500 years ago as a guest house for the neighboring Orsini build castle, the huge palazzo served its purpose until a fire in the XX CENTURY. The oil millionaire Paul Getty bought the property in 1960 and undertook extensive refurbishments and converted it in what we see today. An Italian family bought it from Getty’s estate and converted it into a hotel with much taste and antic furnitures and tapestries. The hotel has a sand beach, presumably of artificial creation by Getty, an indoor swimming pool, a terraced restaurant and large garden on the sea. Rooms are huge and furnished in a palatial style. AC and WIFI work very well. Breakfast is served buffet style. We had lunch and dinner at the hotel and menu and food were ok. Staff is well trained and kind. We had the Castello corner suite which consisted of an open plan huge room with sofa, reading chairs, a large bathroom and closet facing the sea.

We had the most incredible stay with La Posta Vecchia! The location, attention to detail, service at a venue that’s impeccably designed and decorated. It was our first stay after landing in Rome, and every hotel thereafter does not measure up. Cannot wait to be back!

Arriving at La Posta Vecchia, with the view out to the sea through the billowing curtains of an elegant villa with mature gardens and Roman ruins sets the tone for an unforgettable stay. The staff could not have been more welcoming or thoughtful. The decor is chic, the food outstanding, and the view over the sea and Castello Odescalchi is mesmerising. The team clearly love their work and are passionate about hospitality. A place to come back to again and again.

We have now stayed at Posta Vecchia three times - twice in the past two weeks. It is the perfect spot to stay when flying in and out of Rome FCO airport...only 30 minutes. And if you want to run into the city (we did), they can arrange a driver. It's a relatively small yet regal property. It feels wholly authentic (there's even a museum in the basement. We've stayed in the Olive Suite, Tower Room (attic level) and the Duke's Room. Honestly, they have all been lovely. There are so many great spots to sit and perch around the property, I didn't find us in our room all that much. Great sunning terrace overlooking the sea adjacent to the indoor pool. They also set up a beach area during the summer. Restaurant was great for dinner and a treat at breakfast. The service is quiet but great. When I saw their new tennis court, I asked the concierge to boom me a session and they found me a trainer for the next day - good lesson too! Our last night, we were exhausted and asked they served us dinner in the library, which they did and it was fabulous and relaxing. Francesco in the bar makes a mean negroni.
