La Posta Vecchia was everything we hoped for and more, and is a true gem within touching distance of Rome. The hotel oozes old school elegance, and delivers the perfect “home from home” experience. There are too many unique features of the property to mention them all in one review, but the museum beneath the hotel summed up how interesting the history of the hotel is for guests. The hotel has just 19 rooms and suites, giving a very personal feel and the staff more than delivered. The food is everything you expect of a Michelin Star restaurant, and breakfast location overlooking the sea is perfect. My only thing to highlight would be the location- the hotel is not in a popular tourist area, and for us the time was best spent within the confines of the property- which has a beautiful pool, tennis court and gym alongside the other amenities you might expect.

A wonderful stay, highly recommended. The whole venue exudes an elegant, serene charm and calmness. The employees we met are sincere, helpful and cheerful. Everyone we saw seemed happy to be working there. Even the people driving the buggies in the grounds acknowledged you with a cheery Buongiorno, salve etc. I was impressed staff remembered my name even though my stay was short. Long post follows: all good. In short, this is a venue to which I would return in a heartbeat. I only had a one night stay here although the best part of two days. It was excellent. From arrival at the airport where a transfer had been arranged to the warm welcome from several of the staff on arrival. It felt very special. The pre arrival dossier had been completed so check in was swift. There was a tour of the hotel, private beach pointed out, lots of information is readily available should you need. Stayed in Caesar room on the top floor which was a generous size, complimentary soft drinks and snacks, good quality toiletries, a good haidryer ( essential and so often lacking!) and a very comfortable bed. The pool is serene and the yellow tones are sympathetic to the age and grandeur of the building. Comprehensive treatments are available ( didn't have time). Signature cocktails are interesting and slightly quirky yet well balanced. The restaurant is calm and staff attentive. Food excellent, roasted lobster was superb, perhaps the best I've had. The wine list is strong and the sommelier helpful and listened well to my preferences. He was spot on with his recommendation- bravo. Breakfast, such a plethora of choice. Well presented. Again staff were courteous, friendly and helpful.

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.

This hotel is not cheap, but it is a wonderful place to relax. Just sitting on the seaside terrace and looking at the sea is about the most calming thing you can imagine. The ambience is wonderful and elegant. There are many items of furniture and decor that you might find in a museum. When you stay here, it really feels like you are guests in a well kept noble estate from another century. The bar is wonderful and open very late. When we were there, there was even a pianist nearby playing lovely pieces by Chopin. The in-house restaurant is top quality, and the morning breakfast is the best I have seen anywhere in Italy. We got one of the cheaper rooms, but it was very well appointed, and we had a lovely time. We were only here a single night, and wish we could have had another day or two. Due to its proximity to Fiumicino airport, we will definitely consider it next time we fly through Rome.

Difficult to rate a hotel like LPV given there are very few comparables - the property is historic in every sense so you need to manage your expectations on modernity (the rooms do feel like ur staying in a castle!), the staff are generally warm, and location is 40 minutes or so from Rome’s airport. I think overall the value proposition was okay.
