Five Star Hotel on the beach, close to Rome, Spa and a Michelin starred restaurant

La Posta Vecchia, a splendid 17th century seaside palace, immersed in beautiful Italian gardens and overlooking the Thyrrenian sea, offers guests a privately luxurious and peaceful retreat, only 40 minutes away from the center of Rome. The villa was built in 1640 on behalf of the Orsini family over the remains of the Roman town of Alsium. In 1960, Jean Paul Getty, the North American tycoon, bought it and restored it to its ancient splendour, adding priceless antiques and furniture acquired from all over the world. Furthermore, the ruins of an ancient Roman villa were uncovered, ruins which can still be visited in the archaeological museum in the basement of the hotel. The property was later transformed into a 19 bedroom hotel, where rooms and suites are furnished with exquisite furniture from the late millionaire's private collection. The hotel indoor swimming pool, with heated water, offers a spectacular sea view. The beauty centre near the pool is ideal for massages, facials, manicure and pedicure. La Posta Vecchia features a Michelin starred restaurant "The Cesar" where guests can savour Mediterranean cuisine with a twist. There is a conference room with seating capacity for 65 guests: La Posta Vecchia Hotel is in fact the ultimate location for business meetings in complete privacy or for leisure, quiet study and meditation. The entire villa is available for exclusive use for special events and meetings. There is a heliport with private access in the park.
