La Posta Vecchia

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 !

SO much potential but quite dissapoiting.. The property is lovely but the hotel smells and is musty and prob moldy. The food is only fair and certainly not as good as il pelicano. The wine sommelier is quite rude and arrogant, and the list is very over priced. (BTW we were also a bit shocked that the bar charged 30 euros for a soda) The hotel pool is indoors. The rooms are small and the towels were rough. There is no elevator and we were asked to walk up several flights of long stairs . A mistake was made on the bill. Obviously the hotel was once special but we found the service to be lacking, and overall the property to be very expensive with few redeeming factors other then the superb view and the proximity to the Rome airport

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.

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.
