What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
the charm is not in ostentatious service, or state-of-the-art facilities, but in the elegance of the estate, whose rooms and suites are furnished…
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The estate borders the medieval Castello Odescalchi on the Palo Laziale shoreline, forty minutes north of Rome.
The rooms
Original stone fireplaces and heavy silk curtains frame arched windows that open directly over the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated indoor pool sits beneath vaulted arches inside the palazzo, looking straight out over the sea.
The spa
Treatment rooms provide massages beside a Turkish bath, and striped loungers line the seaside stone terrace.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Da Aurelio serves regional seafood on the seaside terrace, and Bar Piranesi pours drinks beneath original Italian engravings.
In keeping, La Posta Vecchia’s intimate feel is that of a friend’s family castle, full of eccentric art pieces and quirky nooks…
How it began
During 1960s restorations for J. Paul Getty, excavators uncovered a second-century BC Roman villa beneath the palazzo foundations.
