La Posta Vecchia Hotel

La Posta Vecchia Hotel, prior home to Roman Imperators and Jean Paul Getty, is a luxury boutique hotel 40 minutes from Rome that looks right down onto the sea. It has 21 rooms and suites, an indoor heated swimming pool, the LPV Health and Beauty Club and the gourmet restaurant The Cesar. The villa, which dates back to 1640, was built by the Orsini Princes. In 1960, it was purchased by Jean Paul Getty, who had the residence restored back to its original splendor, bringing in seventeenth-century furnishings, tapestries and paintings. During the renovation work, the remains of an ancient Roman villa came to light; the findings can today be admired in the archaeological museum situated within the hotel.
