Pros:

We loved our stay there. We had the amazing Castello corner Suite with wonderful views and vast, comfortable space filled w age-appropriate antiques. The entire villa and grounds were extraordinary and worthy of Mr Getty's stature.My lady also enjoyed the Spa with a wonderful Cocoon massage from Celia. We also loved the food and being able to dine on the Terrace w the sea rolling in. All in all, a great experience.

Pros:

This is a very unique hotel in Ladispol. It is surrounded by elegant and beautiful grounds but it is very much in a stand alone area with nothing to do apart from relax in the hotel .
The staff are exceptionally helpful . A special shout for Luca the waiter in the restaurant who went over and beyond to make our stay memorable.
The food in the restaurant is delicious including breakfasts and the hotel pride themselves on local produce .
The rooms are dark and it does feel a little like staying in a museum but a luxurious one !
The aircon is also questionable with little control and certainly not reaching the temperature stated .
There are a lot of stone steps so if you are unsteady on your feet beware .
The hotel stands by rules with check out time rigidly adhered to and drinking water limits by the pool but taking all this into consideration, this is a beautiful hotel in a magnificent setting .
The pricing of food and drink reflects a captive audience and did feel expensive ( glass of wine 23€) but the staff , the hotel and its ambience is enough to draw you back .

La Posta Vecchia Hotel
Pros:

Wonderful experience! A former J. Paul Getty residence situated just a short drive away from Fiumicino Airport. Friendly staff, excellent food and a relaxing spa and indoor swimming pool. ‘Dolce far bene’ is their motto!

We enjoyed the incredible view, great rooms, wonderful food and impecable service.
Pros:

We frequently have a one night layover before we take our return trip out of Rome back to the US. In the past, we have stayed at airport hotels as well as nice properties in central Rome. After this trip we will only stay at the Posta Vecchia Hotel. The hotel is located around 40 minutes out of FCO. The boutique property is beautiful, and is located directly on the sea.The rooms are very large, and have incredible seaside views. Eating our meals on the patio overlooking the ocean was wonderful. The food and the service was over the top. This is an incredible place to get some rest and relaxation.

Cons:

I am unsure if the hotel has an elevator. We only used the beautiful stone stair cases, which were a little taxing.

One of our favorite hotels.
Pros:

We have been visiting LPV for over a decade now and it keeps getting better.

Locked away in a private park with a suite facing the sea, the hotel is simply enchanting.

There’s a private beach, large indoor pool and a wonderful restaurant with a new chef making delicious contemporary dishes.

The service is impeccable, the wait staff and bartenders friendly and professional and the management and staff work hard to address your every need.

We will plan to return again.

Beautiful property. Great for relaxing and doing nothing.
Pros:

Breakfast was fine.
The location was a little remote for me, I prefer to be walking distance to more restaurants and shops. Loved having bicycles!

Staff was excellent!!

Cons:

The beach was just ok but that area isn’t known for the beach… the wasps were annoying at meal time.

Lots of steps but not terrible.

Incredible lunch
Pros:

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 !

Expensive and mediocre
Pros:

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

A Magical Seaside Retreat Just Outside Rome
Pros:

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.

An experience in itself
Pros:

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.
