Priceless paintings, tapestries, antiques, and carpets adorn this world-class hotel on the outskirts of Rome. However, since La Posta Vechia once served as the private residence of John Paul Getty, such appointments seem natural, not ostentatious.
With only seventeen rooms, accommodations at La Posta Vechia are not easy to come by. You will have to make your reservations well in advance, but La Posta Vechia is well worth it. Your individually decorated, luxurious room will be filled with many museum-quality pieces of art and furniture. In fact, the basement of La Posta Vechia is a museum housing a collection of Roman antiquities found on the site and unparalleled floor mosaics.
On the main level of the building, you'll enjoy La Posta Vechia's intimate dining room. With one side facing the sea and the other the garden, this dining room is decorated with 1 7th-century marble tables and boasts high ceilings obviously crafted by fine artisans. Once settled in at your table, you will be treated to traditional Italian cuisine full of the flavors that made this nation's cooking famous. Also on the main floor is the magnificent indoor pool with its ceiling-high arched windows with breathtaking views of the sea below.
