La Posta Vecchia in Palo Laziale is a seventeenth century villa, sensitively tranformed into a luxury hotel in 1990. The villa overlooks the Tyrrhenian Sea and is surrounded by 15 acres of Italian gardens. An archaeological museum containing many interesting Roman relics can be found on the premises.

Between 1960 and 1975 La Posta Vecchia was the Italian residence of Jean Paul Getty. It was furnished at the time with the help of Professor Federico Zeri, curator of the Getty Museum in California. All of the furnishings have remained unchanged since Getty's day, giving La Posta Vecchia not only its luxurious allure, but historical significance as well.

Thanks to the collaboration between J.P.Getty and the art critic Federico Zeri, each of the 7 Suites and 12 Rooms has its own distinct style. All the Rooms are double occupancy and afford dazzling views of either the Tyrrhenian Sea or the surrounding gardens. They are decorated in the classic style, enriched with splendid antiques. The rooms offer the luxury of a previous era, while providing all present day conveniences.
